Was the First Internet User a Noob?

Great question with a funny answer - from gameplayer

"But -- hear us out -- that simply isn't possible. Because the very first person to use the internet was, by definition, the person who invented it. And, by definition, such a masterful computer scientist could hardly be thought of as a rank amateur."

perhaps not but the first guy (forgot his name) to create the internet browser is a noob. He didn't mind patenting it and now he could have been one of the richest guys in the world.... ...but no.

Far out, what a mega mistake. I am already so annoyed that when I was first on the Net as a kid in the early nineties I did not register heaps of smart domain names.

I read a story about a guy who registered www.madonna.com in the first days of the Net cause he was a big fan and the record label ended up having to pay him millions for it down the track.

just like a certain country where the domain letters happened to be " TV ". If I'm not mistaken, the USA ended up paying loads of cash to this country so they could create www.xxxxxx.co.TV websites .

The answer is the second guy to use the Net. Although the story in the article is far funnier, especially the Dr. Who joke - LMAO

The TURDIS! That was a nice little article, this is why we have this technology, to rip the sh*t out of eachother then read about it and laugh. God bless the interweb.

Who knew the ins and outs of everything computer related. Infact when they used the keyboards, they were so saintly with all things computers, their hands floated inches above their keyboard.

I'd know because I'm THAT old. ;-)

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit75d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing75d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9275d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
