Did you know Trivia - Constructed by the Electrical Engineering department in a Manchester University laboratory in 1948, "Baby", officially known as the Small Scale Experimental Machine and sometimes referred to as the Mark I prototype, was the first computer, with only 128 bytes of memory, that allowed programs to be electronically stored. It was preceded by the top-secret Colossus machines used at Bletchley Park for decoding German signals during the second world war. The Colossus, originally constructed by Tommy Flowers and a team at a Post Office laboratory in Dollis Hill, London, was a pre-programmed machine, hard wired to solve only a small set of specific tasks. After the war the Colossus machines were broken up and buried on the orders of the then Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. click this link to read more

Eike Batista sits in the boardroom of his mining company, MMX Mineracao e Metalicos SA, overlooking Rio de Janeiro's Sugarloaf Mountain, a vitamin cocktail dripping into his left arm to stave off aging.
The intravenous bag is hanging on the pole of the green, yellow and blue Brazilian flag that stands next to the 51-year-old multibillionaire. Batista's focus isn't on the drip but on a deluge of decisions, including how to seal a $5.5 billion sale of two iron ore mines to London-based Anglo American Plc, according to Paulo Gouvea, an MMX executive who was present that January evening.
