* Ada Lovelace ( 1815 – 1852 ), the first computer programmer

After the war he worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where he created one of the first designs for a stored-program computer, the ACE.

It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's Difference Engine, a design for a mechanical computer.

The Analytical Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete.

In recognition of her additions to Menabrea's paper, which included a way to calculate Bernoulli numbers using the machine, she has been described as the first computer programmer.

J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly similarly were not aware of the details of Babbage's Analytical Engine work prior to the completion of their design for the first electronic general-purpose computer, the ENIAC.

Atanasoff and Clifford Berry's computer work was not widely known until it was rediscovered in the 1960s, amidst conflicting claims about the first instance of an electronic computer.

At that time, the ENIAC was considered to be the first computer in the modern sense, but in 1973 a U. S. District Court invalidated the ENIAC patent and concluded that the ENIAC inventors had derived the subject matter of the electronic digital computer from Atanasoff ( see Patent dispute ).

The machine was, however, the first to implement three critical ideas that are still part of every modern computer:

George W. Snedecor, the head of Iowa State's Statistics Department, was very likely the first user of an electronic digital computer to solve real world mathematics problems.

Judge Larson explicitly stated, " Eckert and Mauchly did not themselves first invent the automatic electronic digital computer, but instead derived that subject matter from one Dr. John Vincent Atanasoff ".

The first model was launched in 1985 as a high-end home computer and became popular for its graphical, audio and multi-tasking abilities.

A prototype of the full computer was shown to the public for the first time at the Summer Consumer Electronics Show in 1984.

Von Neumann wrote the first array-sorting program ( merge sort ) in 1945, during the building of the first stored-program computer .< sup > p.

In computer science, an AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree, and it was the first such data structure to be invented.

The Aster CT-80, an early home / personal computer developed by the small Dutch company MCP ( later renamed to Aster Computers ), was sold in its first incarnation as a kit for hobbyists.

It was the first commercially available Dutch personal / home computer.

Most Aster CT-80's ( about 10 thousand of them ) were sold to schools for computer education, in a project first known as the " honderd scholen project " ( one hundred schools project ), but which later involved many more than just one hundred schools.

* The tutorial in the computer game Dystopia takes place in Yggdrasil's first arcology.

* 1981 – The Osborne 1, the first successful portable computer, is unveiled at the West Coast Computer Faire in San Francisco.

This might sound complex, but first of all the number of di-atomic molecules that can exist at the temperatures of the atomizers used in AAS is relatively small, and second, the correction is performed by the computer within a few seconds.

He first gained media attention for breaking into several high-profile computer networks, including those of The New York Times, Yahoo !, and Microsoft, culminating in his 2003 arrest.

When the PC starts up, the first job for the BIOS is the power-on self-test, which initializes and identifies system devices such as the CPU, RAM, video display card, keyboard and mouse, hard disk drive, optical disc drive and other hardware.

Jones ' first cartoon was The Night Watchman, which featured a cute kitten who would later evolve into Sniffles the mouse.

The Mouse_ ( computing )# Early_mice | first prototype of a computer mouse, as designed by William English ( computer engineer ) | Bill English from Engelbart's sketches.

* 1968 – NLS ( a system for which hypertext and the computer mouse were developed ) is publicly demonstrated for the first time in San Francisco.

The first transgenic ( genetically modified ) animal was produced by injecting DNA into mouse embryos then implanting the embryos in female mice.

* 1984 – The Apple Macintosh, the first consumer computer to popularize the computer mouse and the graphical user interface, is introduced during Super Bowl XVIII with its famous " 1984 " television commercial.

* 1983 – The Apple Lisa, the first commercial personal computer from Apple Inc. to have a graphical user interface and a computer mouse, is announced.

and the first cross-sectional image of a living mouse was published in January 1974.

The first browser that used advanced mouse gestures ( in 2002 ) was Maxthon, in which a highly customizable interface allowed the assignment of almost every action to one of 52 mouse gestures and few mouse chords.

The TP53 gene from the mouse was first cloned by Peter Chumakov of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1982, and independently in 1983 by Moshe Oren in collaboration with David Givol ( Weizmann Institute of Science ).

However it was one of the first consoles to feature an optional mouse which made strategy games like Farland Story FX

The first HCI application of Fitts's law was by Card, English, and Burr ( 1978 ), who used the index of performance ( IP ), defined as, to compare performance of different input devices, with the mouse coming out on top.

The " reeler " mouse was described for the first time in 1951 by D. S. Falconer in Edinburgh University as a spontaneous variant arising in a colony of mice maintained by geneticist Charlotte Auerbach.

The Xerox Alto workstation, first to use a graphical user interface with mouse and origin of ethernet.

These were photo-mechanical mice — first using white light and then using IR to count the rotations of wheels inside the mouse.

The addition of the Windows Key to keyboards may have been part of the reason why most current games have evolved their control schemes, and most first person shooters generally use the mouse in conjunction with a " Half-Life " style of control ( W, A, S, D, Space, Shift, Ctrl ) named apparently because it may have been the first widespread game to popularize such an interface, and because usage of the Alt button would nowadays heighten the risk of accidentally pressing the Windows Key.

But the first consistent name for Mickey's city came in 1950s Italy, where it was called Topolinia ( from Topolino or ' little mouse ,' Mickey's Italian name ).

Over the course of the book he claims to be training mice to perform in a mouse circus, and often brings Coraline messages from them, though at first Coraline doubts he even has mice to train, and doesn't listen to what he says to be messages from the mice.

) He is also apparently small enough to fall down mouse holes while practicing jumps, and too small to reach the first rail of the Poohsticks bridge.

Hex is the UU's first mainframe computer, though instead of RAM, it has ram skulls, and its mouse is an actual mouse.

His fear first began when a swarm of cats scared him while he was dressed as a mouse when he went Trick or Treating with his brothers on one Halloween night when they were little.
