World Wide Web Inventor Joins Twitter

You are reading this on the Internet, and it wouldn’t be possible without Sir Tim Berners-Lee. You see, back in the 1980s Berners-Lee came up with a little thing called hypertext. Connect hypertext with TCP, and you get the “world wide web”. Now Berners-Lee is trudging through one of the newer areas of his invention; namely, twitter.

Berners-Lee was just about to get on stage at the Web 2.0 summit recently, but apparently decided he didn’t feel hip enough. He joined Twitter on the spot and you can follow him here. The Internet did not spontaneously explode, so we may be out of the woods. Berners-Lee started off using Tweetie and appeared to be unhappy with the interface. Sir Berners-Lee is the director of W3C, a web standards board. If he trashes your interface, you have some explaining to do.

Al said it himself during a debate. He invented the internet. As for global warming, if cows create methane, then what does he create jet setting around in his plane?

Suttle is peer crap, no expansion, low wattage power supply; which means no decent video cards, if you choose not

to use onboard, and whats up? ATI 3000; Horse crap!!! no BIOS updates from shuttle site, maybe this one, but mind NO.

Been there done it with Shuttle, never again will I purchase their products! Headaces big time... 

Shuttle designs the same crap for years now; stay very clear of them people, or you will be very sorry, what more do I

need to say... Hell the AMD Chip is better than what you put  it into, a little shit box. Excuse my French,

but the truth hurts sometimes and in this case (CASE) Yeah!!! You can do much more with 318 bucks!!!
