New HOH , bb roadkill winner & whos all on the block and much more rolled into one FOR BIG BROTHER lol!!

So Thursday night was not to much of a shocker who got voted out which was Victor. Now our new HOH is Bridgette who is nervous I think being HOH for her own reasons from what I have read so far. She seems to want someone with her at all times up there doesn't want to be really alone . She did put up Bronte was Roadkill nomination and Bridgette put up Tiffany and Paul. 

The Have Nots are  Nicole, Tiffany, Corey and there food for the week if I seen that right was popcorn & peanuts lol interesting is all I shall say. Hey I like both of those foods not sure if I could live on it for a week..  So we shall see how that goes for me anyhow :)

Right now the one person they really want out is Frank who is safe this week due to one of his members of his team won HOH which was Bridgette. Frank has been making some inappropriate lets say things and if anyone sees the feeds   you may know but he is insulting the girls down talks them and thinks they dress like sluts or should say D he said that to after smacking her in the rear end. 

So for now I shall put the link and share a page with you all to check up on more things going on in the Big Brother house.

Be well be kind to one another smile it really does make a difference IMO anyhow. May your day or evening where ever in the world you may live be a great one.

I do have to say I liked the HOH comp that looked fun :)


Bless day to all

Who was nominated for eviction on Big Brother 18 in week three? With Bridgette Dunning as the new Head of Household this week, most fans seemed to think she would let her ally, veteran Frank Eudy, be the one actually choosing who went up. While we were hoping to see Bridgette take charge and make her own decisions without having Frank leading her around by the nose, it seemed pretty unlikely at this point.
Big Brother Live Feeds 5
WARNING: This post contains Big Brother spoilers from the Live Feeds that have not yet been shown on the CBS TV show, possibly including competition information or results, game play moves, alliances, showmances, etc. Please do not proceed if you do not want spoilers!
big-brother spoilers alert
After Bridgette won the Head of Household competition, Frank sat her down pretty quickly to ‘help’ her figure out who should go up on the block as her eviction nominees. Frank is all about getting Tiffany Rousso out as soon as he possibly can, so she is his number one target and he wants her to go up. Frank is extremely displeased with (former) 8-Pack alliance mate and convinced she’s too much of a danger to his game to stay any more. So she will most likely be nomination number one.
Big Brother Live Feeds 8
The second nomination isn’t so important to Frank. It needs to be someone he doesn’t mind getting rid of, but also someone that can possibly be manipulated to do what Frank wants them to. Plus, it should be someone who has a better possible chance of winning the Power of Veto Competition than Tiffany. Even better if it’s someone who really doesn’t have any strong alliances in the house and is desperate to keep the majority happy. Who fits all those categories? Guess what Paul Abrahamian, it looks like you’re about to step up on the block yet again.
Paulie actually tried to convince Bridgette that Bronte would be a good option as a nominee either now or as a renom later, but that’s highly unlikely. Let’s not forget that Bridgette is in a (currently) strong alliance with Bronte and Natalie with the Spy Girls (aka Powerpuff Girls). She is not going to nominate either of them unless she feels totally backed into a corner.
Big Brother Live Feeds 3
Nicole Franzel, James Huling, and Da’Vonne Rogers are basically left in a pickle at this point. They’ve been conspiring hardcore to get Frank out because they don’t trust him, and they feel he is trying to manipulate them and the rest of the house solely for his own benefit. (Well, duh.) But since he’s on Bridgette’s team, he’s entirely safe this week and there is no way for him to go up on the block.
Luckily for them, so far Frank is not aware of their mass attempt to target him. However, that doesn’t mean they are safe if he decides one of them is too much of a threat to keep around this week. Nicole is especially stressed out that she might end up as nomination or a renom. So when Nicole and Corey found out from Frank that Tiffany and Paul were probably going to go on the block, Nicole liked to Tiffany about not knowing what was going on. She doesn’t want to give Tiffany the weepy manipulator any chance of changing Frank or Bridgette’s mind about being nominated.
When the Big Brother Live Feeds went down on Friday morning, it looked pretty certain that Tiffany and Paul would go up as this week’s eviction nominees, with Tiffany as the prime target. When the Feeds finally came back on several hours later, our spoilers were confirmed. Paul and Tiffany are this week’s first two eviction nominees. Now we’ll have to wait and see who wins the Roadkill Competition and which houseguest they will choose as their third nominee.

Yesterday marked another eviction in the books for this season of Big Brother. Paulie Calafiore became this week’s Head of Household and originally nominated Paul Abrahamian and Bronte D’Aquisto for eviction. Victor Arroyo won this weeks Road kill competition and put Tiffany Rousso up as a third nominee. Paulie won Power of Veto this week and used it to save Paul, which left Paulie having to put someone in his place. His replacing nominee was Victor.

Since Victor was nominated and the house was left unsure where Tiffany’s head was at in the game, Victor decided to try and sway votes towards Tiffany by talking to Natalie and James Huling. Natalie was not on board with that due to Bronte being a nominee and that being one of her good friends.
Tiffany told Bronte maybe they should work something up with the girls and have a possible alliance with her (Tiffany), Bronte, Natalie Negrotti and Bridgette Dunning. Bridgette told Frank Eudy that they were trying to get a girls alliance going on that included her. Houseguests begin to question if perhaps they should keep Victor and vote Tiffany out this week due to the shady things she has pulled lately.
The 8-Pack alliance includes: Frank, Zakiyah Everette, Da’Vonne, Nicole Franzel, Tiffany, Corey Brooks, Michelle Meyer and James. The five girls in the 8-Pack all form their own little alliance titled “The Fatal Five”. Frank decided he wanted to tell Paulie all about the 8-Pack. He informed Nicole and Corey that he was going to tell Paulie all about it before someone else did and it ruined his trust in them all. Frank told Paulie about the 8-Pack but then blamed the girls for creating it.
Big Brother Recap 4
Paulie said he wasn’t worried but it was made of people he thought he was working with as well and wondered why he was not included. Frank told Paulie he didn’t want Paulie finding out from Tiffany about the 8-Pack. Zakiyah thought they should stick to a finale five alliance that included: her (Zakiyah), Paulie, Nicole, Corey and Da’vonne because they can all trust one another but Da’vonne didn’t seem to be on board with that idea because she felt as if she would be the 3rd wheel in an alliance full of showmances.
Host Julie Chen announced that it was time for the live eviction. Would the houseguests stick to the plan of evicting Victor or would they change the plan and vote Tiffany out for her shady ways? With a 9-1 vote, Victor was the 3rd houseguest to be evicted from the Big Brother house. While discussing his journey on BB18, Victor explained that he felt like a sitting duck in the house and felt like he only had Paul. The rest of the house seemed to give him the cold shoulder. Julie told Victor that another twist called ‘ Battle Back’ which allows the first five evicted HG’s to battle against one another for a chance back in the house.
Big Brother Recap 2
The Head of Household competition then went into full swing. Titled “Kiss my Ace”, the HOH comp. was be played in teams. One player from each team had to step up and serve a tennis ball into their court. Each court was filled with numbered slots 0-21.
The player with the lowest number in each round would be eliminated. Those still in the game would go to the back of their team line and the next player from each team would step up and serve. The last houseguest standing would become the new HOH. If two or three players tie with the lowest score in any given round, they would all be eliminated. If all four HG’s tie then all four must serve again until someone was eliminated in that round.
Big Brother 18 Recap 1
Bronte was eliminated in the first round. Michelle was eliminated the second round. Nicole and Da’vonne were eliminated in the third round. James was eliminated the fourth round. Frank was eliminated the fifth round. Corey was eliminated the sixth round. Zakiyah was eliminated the seventh round. Tiffany was eliminated the eighth round which meant the Freakazoids were out of the game. Natalie was eliminated the ninth round. Paul and Bridgette were the last two remaining players. Bridgette won this week’s HOH comp and guaranteed her team “Catagory4” safe this week.
Which houseguests do you think Bridgette will nominate on Sunday?
Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:57 PM PDT
Who won Head of Household on Big Brother tonight was of critical importance to the majority 8-Pack alliance, which is on the edge of splintering right into non existence. They’ve ruled the house since the first episode of season 18, but now some of them are starting to think some of their own members should be the next targets to evict.
Big Brother 18 Recap 1
The veterans have all been working hard to form side alliances and deals with the rookie players in the house because they know at some point they could end up aligned against each other. We thought it would take longer for that to happen, but it looks like at just over three weeks into the season, the veterans may already be starting to go for each other’s throats.
In particular, Da’Vonne Rogers has launched a campaign against Frank Eudy, who she thinks has been using everyone in their alliances to further his own game first and foremost. Well, of course he is, isn’t that the whole point of the game? Fellow veterans James and Nicole have also now jumped aboard the anti-Frank train, so it looks like the 8-Pack alliance and the Veterans alliance are both now in danger of permanent demise. Unless Frank won the Head of Household Competition this week, there was a very good chance he might end up as target number one.
Time for the Head of Household Competition. This challenge is called ‘Kiss My Ace’ and it’s a tennis themed competition. The teams will compete against each other and serve balls into a tennis court and try to get them into slots with the highest points values. In each round, the person with the lowest point value will be eliminated from the competition.
Big Brother 18 Recap 1
Round 1: Bronte is eliminated
Round 2: Michelle is eliminated
Round 3: Nicole and Da’Vonne are both eliminated
Round 4: James is eliminated
Round 5: Frank is eliminated
Round 6: Corey is eliminated
Round 7: Zakiyah is eliminated
Round 8: Tiffany is eliminated, Freakazoids are all out
Round 9: Natalie is out, Team Unicorn are all out
Round 10: Paul is out, Bridgette has won Head of Household! Team Category 4 are all safe!
Big Brother 18 Recap 1
Well that’s just most excellent news for Frank. Because now all those folks who have been secretly plotting against him are going to have to start sucking up to him, because right now he has Bridgette quite firmly in his back pocket. So her eviction nominees are likely to be his nominees, unless she breaks out and starts making some big game moves for herself!

We were pretty sure who would be evicted on Big Brother 18 tonight before the live show kicked off, but there was always a chance for a last minute shakeup. The Big Brother Live Feeds have been full of houseguests waffling the past few days on who exactly would be the best of the eviction nominees to get the boot this week.
Big Brother 18 Recap 1
Well, truthfully, there were only two of the eviction nominees truly in danger of going home on Thursday night (or off to seclusion anyway): Tiffany Rousso and Victor Arroyo. While Victor has been the main target all week long ever since Paulie Calafiore won the Head of Household, Tiffany suddenly rose up quite strongly as a possible alternate eviction possibility over the last few days.
Although she was told by her 8-Pack alliance members to throw the Power of Veto Competition to make sure they would be able to put Victor up on the block as a replacement nominee, Tiffany instead decided she was too afraid of being backdoored herself not to compete. This pissed off her allies because if she had won and taken herself off the block, Paulie would not have been able to put up Victor as a replacement, and one of them might have ended up in danger instead since Victor would have had the power to rename a third nominee.
That lack of trust, along with Tiffany’s (I almost said Vanessa’s) increasing paranoia and wildly swinging emotions got under the skin of her alliance mates, especially Da’Vonne Rogers. Tiffany and Da’Vonne are not only members of the 8-Pack together, but also the all-girls Fatal Five alliance. Tiffany’s actions, however, had Da’Vonne and others starting to talk pretty loudly about how it might be a wise idea to get Tiffany out now while they had such an easy opportunity — and save Victor for a later eviction.
In the end, however, the splintering majority 8-Pack alliance and the rest of the house stuck with the original plan and decided to go for the backdoor as intended since Paulie won HoH. Victor ended up getting the boot despite all his attempts to flip the vote, and walked out of the Big Brother 18 house with a near unanimous vote against him.
Big Brother 18 Eviction Votes:
Bridgette votes to evict: Victor
Zakiyah votes to evict: Victor
Paul votes to evict: Bronte
Frank votes to evict: Victor
Da’Vonne votes to evict: Victor
Michelle votes to evict: Victor
Natalie votes to evict: Victor
James votes to evict: Victor
Corey votes to evict: Victor
Nicole votes to evict: Victor
Victor has been evicted and is the third houseguest to leave the show this season. But, of course, he could be returning in the future if he wins the Battle Back competition!
Big Brother 18 Recap 1
Tiffany, however, better watch out. Because she and veteran Frank Eudy are quickly becoming major targets for a lot of the other houseguests, and both of their days could be very numbered indeed.

We were hoping to see a shake up in who went home on Big Brother tonight in the third eviction of the season. While it wouldn’t be such a loss to see 8-Pack alliance target Victor Arroyo headed out the door, it would be a lot more fun and drama if a sudden vote flip blew out the big backdoor plan. Especially if it meant Tiffany Rousso, the near identical twin of paranoia and tears to sister Vanessa Rousso, might be the one who got blindsided and booted.
Big Brother Recap 2
Alas, even though the 8-Pack alliance is pretty much on the edge of complete implosion inside the house, spoilers from the Big Brother Live Feeds right before the live eviction show still had Victor as pretty much doomed to a possible unanimous vote out the door. Still, you never know what sort of crazy might happen in those last few hours while the cameras are down, so we are always eager for a hopeful bit of wild action popping up on the live show. Expect the unexpected, right?
When we last left our houseguests, Head of Household and Power of Veto winner Paulie Calafiore had just taken Paul Abrahamian off the block and replaced him with Victor. This was the next to last step in Paulie’s grand plan to backdoor Victor this week. All he needs now is the rest of the house to fall in line and vote against Victor at the live eviction as planned.
Problem is, things may not be all that simple with the majority house alliance starting to crumble, and some of them wondering if there might not be a better target to get out this week — namely, Tiffany Rousso. She’s so paranoid about being on the block, that she might kick her own butt right out the door.
Big Brother Recap 3
Paul is feeling bad that his buddy Victor is on the block and he’s safe, but that’s what had to happen to save his own skin. Victor isn’t ready to give up though. He’s going to make an effort to stay in the game, he’s not ready to go home. He says in Diary Room that if he is going to save himself, he needs to get the rest of Team Unicorn — Natalie, Bronte & James — together to swing their vote against Tiffany. They all swear they are right there with him.
Tiffany tries to tempt Bridgette and Bronte into some kind of ‘girl thing’ going on. In Diary Room, Tiffany says it’s good she has the 8-Pack but she doesn’t trust Frank, and she needs to line up some other allies. She tells the girls Frank is dangerous, especially as a competition beast, but please don’t tell him that.
Bridgette tells Frank that she’s afraid she is at the bottom of the totem pole he is building because he is great at this game. She tells him that Tiffany told her that she does not like Frank. However, she says she doesn’t think Tiffany would do that herself. Frank says Tiffany is trying to buddy up with them because she wants him out and if he had a choice, he’d vote Tiffany out. He says he wouldn’t say this stuff to Bridgette unless he trusted her like his little sister.
Big Brother Recap 4
Tiffany tells Natalie, Bronte and Bridgette that if she were to win Head of Household, she’d never put any of the girls up. James interrupts them but then leaves and goes up to the HoH room. He tells Paulie, Corey and Frank that Tiffany, Bronte and Natalie are always huddled up and whenever he goes in they stop talking. James says Tiffany is just like her sister Vanessa with her side alliances and then sniping people. They talk about maybe they should get Tiffany out instead of Victor.
Frank wants to tell Paulie about the 8-Pack alliance and sort of bring him into the fold. Nicole says in Diary Room that if Frank wants to do something, you pretty much just have to go along or he’ll steamroll right over you. So Frank and Corey tell Paulie about the formation of the 8-Pack and that it happened while he wasn’t in the room. But it’s no big deal because it was just because he wasn’t there at the time.
Big Brother 18 Recap 1
Frank tells Da’Vonne that he told Paulie about the 8-Pack and he’s not pissed off or mad or anything. She says in Diary Room that Frank did that just to cover his own a** and now she’s thinking that maybe she needs to keep Tiffany in the house to be the ‘cat’ to get the ‘rat’ that is Frank.
After telling Da’Vonne, Frank told Zakiyah about Paulie as well. He says to just laugh it off if Paulie talks about it like it’s not really a big deal. We flip to FINALLY seeing a tiny big of Paulie and Zakiyah holding hands and snuggling in bed talking about the 8-Pack reveal and who they can really trust in the game.
Big Brother Recap 2
Zakiyah tells Nicole and Da’Vonne that Paulie trusts them all and Corey. Da’Vonne in Diary Room is not feeling this because she thinks Zakiyah just wants Paulie because she thinks he is cute, and Nicole wants Corey because she thinks he is cute, and that leaves her as the fifth wheel!
Da’Vonne she goes and tells James that Paulie wants a Final Five with them without Frank or James. She’s like ‘what the f**k!’ James says it’s everybody for themselves now. Da’Vonne cries and is very upset that everything is falling apart. James tells Da’Vonne that he thinks the two of them are the only ones truly being honest with each other.
It’s now time for the live vote and eviction!
Big Brother 18 Recap 1
Big Brother 18 Eviction Votes:
Bridgette votes to evict: Victor
Zakiyah votes to evict: Victor
Paul votes to evict: Bronte
Frank votes to evict: Victor
Da’Vonne votes to evict: Victor
Michelle votes to evict: Victor
Natalie votes to evict: Victor
James votes to evict: Victor
Corey votes to evict: Victor
Nicole votes to evict: Victor
Victor has been evicted and is the third houseguest to leave the show this season. But, of course, he could be returning in the future if he wins the Battle Back competition!
Big Brother 18 Recap 1
In his exit interview, Victor tells Julie Chen that he felt like a sitting duck in the house, him and Paul. Victor says he thinks Paul is the one vote to keep him because Paul is his boy. He says he tried to talk to everyone. Julie said yes he did talk, he told everyone all his secrets! She asks him if he thinks maybe he shouldn’t have been so loose with his lips? He says well, maybe, since he’s out here. But he thinks even if he’d tried to keep secrets it still would have gone the same way. He says if he got the chance to play again, he would still try to play an honest game, but he’d maybe pick his alliance differently — even though he still did love Jozea.
Big Brother Recap 2
Natalie says in her goodbye message that it was nice to get to know him but she hopes he has learned to be nicer to people, especially women. Bronte says Victor’s social game was just a bit off, but she hopes to see him on the other side. Paulie says he’s sorry but he hopes they can hook up after the show. Paul says he is pretty sure he is next and they blew it, but he’ll see him on the flip side.
Julie then drops the bomb that there is another twist in the game. If he wins the Battle Back competition between the first five evicted houseguests, he can get back in the house and try to win that half million dollars.
Time for the Head of Household Competition. This challenge is called ‘Kiss My Ace’ and it’s a tennis themed competition. The teams will compete against each other and serve balls into a tennis court and try to get them into slots with the highest points values. In each round, the person with the lowest point value will be eliminated from the competition.
Round 1: Bronte is eliminated
Round 2: Michelle is eliminated
Round 3: Nicole and Da’Vonne are both eliminated
Round 4: James is eliminated
Round 5: Frank is eliminated
Round 6: Corey is eliminated
Round 7: Zakiyah is eliminated
Round 8: Tiffany is eliminated, Freakazoids are all out
Round 9: Natalie is out, Team Unicorn are all out
Round 10: Paul is out, Bridgette has won Head of Household! Team Category 4 are all safe!
Tune in Sunday to see who Bridgette nominates for eviction, and who will win the Roadkill Competition and put up the third nominee!

Tiffany and Frank are going to war on Big Brother 18. Last night’s episode started to show how they became Big Brother 2016 enemies. Tonight’s episode should determine who gets to take the first strike.
Tiffany Rousso
You can read more details about Frank and Tiffany’s fallouts and schemes on our Big Brother After Dark and Live Feeds recaps.
Week 3 of Big Brother involved a lot of underhanded talks about the 8-Pack going against one another. Originally, the tides seemed to turn against Tiffany. Her Vanessa-esque behavior made many worry about her emotional stability in the game. They also worried that she could be just as disloyal as her sister. Da’Vonne specifically didn’t want to have to babysit a Rousso all summer.

Frank also saw the danger of keeping Tiffany around too long. He also knew she wanted him out (because of Da’Vonne). The house started to plot and plan Tiffany’s eviction. However, the tides suddenly shifted, and people started to notice Frank’s sketchy behavior.
He tried to have his hand in too many cookie jars. He told Paulie (with Corey in the room) about the 8-Pack, which made it clear to everyone that he wanted to cover his own butt.
The 8-Pack started comparing notes and talking about whether they could really trust Frank. The Fatal Five worked on getting other people on board to blindside Frank. They told Paulie, Corey, and James their intentions for Frank. Paulie now suspects that Frank might be just as shady as everyone has suggested, but he knows that Frank’s eviction isn’t good for his game.
Big Brother 18-Frank Eudy and Paulie Calafiore
Frank will always be a bigger target than Paulie, he’s also a guy, and right now the guys are dwindling down too fast. So Paulie tried to shift the focus to eliminating one of the remaining girls on the other side, such as Bridgette or Bronte. Nicole and Zakiyah seemed receptive to his idea of holding off on evicting Frank.
However, now Nicole and James have been talking about evicting Frank again. The general plan seems to be that one of Nicole’s team members (her, Tiffany, or Corey) take the power. Then they put up Bridgette and Bronte, Natalie as the Roadkill, and then backdoor Frank. They even asked Michelle to throw this week’s Head of Household competition to ensure that Frank’s team cannot win it.
However, are things ever that easy on Big Brother? There is still a high probability that Frank’s team wins Head of Household. This completely sends a wrench into the plan to get rid of Frank. It does shift the focus back to Tiffany as well.
Tonight’s Head of Household may determine who gets to strike first. Who do you want to see get the boot first Tiffany or Frank on Big Brother 2016?

The Land Before Google

A Brief History of the Search Engines Preceding Google

pexels-photo-106341
The Google search engine and the advent of the modern Internet age seems so ground-breaking that it isn’t too far a stretch to imagine that future historians might date years as “B.G.” for before Google. Imagining a time before a worldwide, fast search engine prods one to visions of darkness and chaos. Well, the web did still function without Google, sort of…

Pre-WWW Search

In 1991, the center of Internet facilitation was not Silicon Valley, but rather the University of Minnesota. Programmer Mark P. McCahill there developed the Gopher protocol. In these days, the Internet was still largely composed of BBSs (Bulletin Board Systems), dial-up phone modems, text terminals, shell commands, and very little else. Finding anything you didn’t know about already was as good as a black art. Gopher was designed not to search web pages – the WWW was still in the research phase – but to access directories on remote computers and find file names, nothing more.
We’ll explain Gopher anyway, but we hate to steal the thunder of Tim McLain, this dapper dude in a fedora who can give you the complete history in 20 minutes:
As a “distributed document delivery service,” Gopher was the first Google. You asked it for something, and it would “gopher” it. If it could find it, that is. To this day, you can find web browsers that support the Gopher protocol, including a plug-in available for Firefox.
Around this same time, there was Archie, likewise born by school staff at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Archie was even simpler; it indexed file FTP archives, being even a little more limited than Gopher. The name came from a pun on the word ‘archive.’ A little later, programmers at University of Reno, Nevada, wrote Veronica, which was a search engine for Gopher itself as well as being the companion program to Archie.
We can’t even dawdle on this point, for we have far more ground to cover!

Jerry and David’s Yahoo! Adventure

Stanford University, 1994, Jerry Yang and David Filo started a web page on this new-fangled Internet protocol that was just catching on, called the World Wide Web. So they set up a web page – in painful Netscape-Navigator HTML – called “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web” which was, yet again, another directory. But this time instead of locally hosted files, it used hypertext links to other web pages hosted on other servers.
Their directory grew (and grew… and greeeeeww…) into the business that became known as Yahoo! Here’s an early gem of a TV commercial:
Yes, the first major commercial search engine was advertised for its dating service potential.
Yahoo! has since joined AOL and Radio Shack in the category of “tech companies that used to be relevant but now nobody knows what keeps them in business.” Yes, around this time, you could not open a newspaper or magazine without an AOL CD falling out, loudly trumpeting an ever-increasing number of hours free in sappy ’90s graphics.
And likely as not, you at least tried Yahoo! But AOL was jealous because they wanted to be the web portal too, so they increasingly tried to offer directory and search-like services as well. And they weren’t the only ones competing for your click.

The Butler and the Dog

The other two search engines of note from this era were AskJeeves and Lycos. Ask.com is the surviving effigy of AskJeeves.com, and you’d think they were ashamed of their former search engine offering the way they’ve buried him! This is the only commercial we can find surviving:
…from the brief UK-only revival in the late 2000s. You’re better off getting a DVD copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special from George Lucas than you are getting Ask.com to let you revisit AskJeeves. Anyway, Jeeves was set up with the idea that you asked a question in English, grammar and punctuation and all, and then the dapper butler would assist your query.
Meanwhile, there was Lycos – oh, Lycos!
Lycos was the most tragic victim of the Dot-Com Bubble burst. This plucky company deserved to win out based on their enthusiasm, but they were just a few steps too slow for the Google-naut. Lycos was geared more towards being a web-based Yellow Pages anyway.

The Failing of Early Search Engines

In retrospect, it’s easy to see where the pre-Google search engines failed.
First, they didn’t think big enough. Over and over, web search engines kept failing to guess the explosive pace of web growth. They kept trying to nail the web into one model after another, only to see it explode into something new. It was a newspaper, a shopping mall, a library directory! It seemed to double in user base every month. No matter how hard they struggled to get a handle on the web, their most long-reaching visions still proved short-sighted.
Second, none of them truly anticipated what consumers wanted in a search engine. All of the early search engines were built with the assumption that every click should end in a sale. In frustration, they all turned against each other, trying to monetize user clicks by keeping them on the site as long as possible. Each site became a web portal, a destination in its own right, trying to offer mail, search, a home page, and even a social network of sorts. Please, we’ll give you anything, just stay! But ultimately staying is the opposite of what you want a search engine for. Search engines should have the same function as a freeway, designed to get you from where you are to where you want to be as fast as possible.
Yahoo, AOL, Ask, and Lycos all exist in some form right now, but only as stomped tar pits of their former selves, left puddled in the tracks of Google.
What Google Got Right
Menlo Park, California, in a garage in 1998: two guys named Larry Page and Sergey Brin were about to show those uppity university folk how a search engine is done. Google has made much ado about their starting motto, simply “don’t be evil.” That carried a lot of weight in 1998. The Microsoft antitrust case was fresh in the courts; the AT&T antitrust case was still fresh in the news. Dot-com bubbles were blowing up and bursting all around. Google knew what consumers were really crying for: one technology company that just gave you what you wanted and then got out of your way.
To this day, you type in a box, hit enter, click a link, you’re there. Google, for 99% of the times its home page is accessed, goes by in a blur. Surprisingly enough, their business model is built on the trust gained from allowing the public to treat it like a free utility. In 1998, Google was this candy-colored logo and a couple buttons, but it was amazing what it had under the hood. It didn’t try to hard-sell you something, but got you the answers you needed in the time you needed them. It turns out that most search queries don’t end in selling something, but it also turns out that the web’s business model is fine with that.

Off the beaten path of why is the keyboard so strange he said? LOL !!

So he did ask why the keyboard was so strange just repeating what I seen to now ha ha!! 

Great article take a look enjoy may your day be filled with fun, laughter and may and evening where ever in the world you may live.

Smile always a nice thing to do it is we know it :) 

If not oh well lol

History Lesson: The Keyboard

Why Is The Keyboard So Weird?

pexels-photo (2)
As anybody with a degree related to technology design can tell you, the modern keyboard as we know it is a rigorously designed typing interface whose key placement has been researched and refined over the years. The keyboard layout is the least intuitive thing ever to be built, requiring hours of painstaking training in typing class to learn, so there must be very, very good reasons for W to be between Q and E and not anywhere else. Designing to be user-friendly, even if not obvious at first glance, is the epitome of priority in the interface to our most important communication device. Humans would not do this to themselves for no reason.
Right?
And if we pull your other leg, it will play Pachelbel’s Canon in D.
Friends, what we call the modern computer keyboard is an evolved system of appendices and ideas whose purposes have faded to antiquity. It was designed by shrugs and guesses, and kept around today for no other purpose than inertia. When we translated keyboards to the on-screen model used today on tablets and smartphones, there was no reason (yet again!) to keep the QWERTY layout. In fact, there has been no good reason for many generations of devices. But here we go again! We have always done it this way, so we go on doing it this way. Design students, the most important thing you will ever learn about “intuitive user interfaces” will be found in the history of the keyboard.
An anecdote: An engineer vacationing in Bali went to see one of their famous temples. Within that temple, he beheld a statue to one of the many Balinese gods, and a line of faithful worshipers before it. In turn, each worshiper would approach the statue and kiss its right toe, then leave. The engineer noticed, from the years of wear, that the toe was polished, and he got in line to give it a closer look. He was curious if the toe on the right was worn down further, so when his turn came, he wanted to measure it. But he didn’t think to bring a ruler, so he used the pen from his pocket as a quick gauge, measuring one toe and then the other. After he left, he glanced back at the rest of the line, only to see that each worshiper after him would now likewise take the pen from their pocket, tap each of the statue’s toes, and leave without kissing. They say this is the new tradition to this day.
We have always done it this way, so we go on doing it this way.

In the beginning was the typewriter

The mechanical typewriter was the first to use the QWERTY keyboard layout, and the reasons for it have faded into myth and legend. Take your pick: The key placement helped keep the mechanical arms from jamming; the layout allowed the word “typewriter” to be typed from the top row for salesmen to demonstrate in the showroom; the layout was intended to slow down typists so they don’t make so many mistakes; or the letter order allows all codes in the Masonic Ciphers book to be typed in cadence.
The keys are also in staggered diagonal rows because each key originally connected to an arm that had to make it all the way to the platen. Plus, the CAPS LOCK key, aside from being placed in a location handy for yelling on the Internet, was a lever lock that locked down the shift key – so named because it physically moved the whole platen up and down to produce upper and lower case letter from the same key. And the backspace key is in the upper right corner because it moved the whole carriage back a space.
But where the mechanical typewriter really impacted computer technology was in the line-break formatting bug. Because the act of hitting the ‘enter’ key as we do now was originally produced with two separate actions: The carriage return and the line feed. The carriage return just shifted the whole carriage over to start at the left, without advancing the line. It had to be that way because you can’t delete on paper; you had to use correction fluid and then type back over the error. The line feed simply advanced the paper one line.
When we moved to text files on a computer, clearly we only needed one of these skeuomorphs – but which one? Whenever the computer industry gets a choice like this, it always ends up in trouble. Unix platforms chose to preserve the LF (line feed, Unicode U+000A), Apple systems chose to preserve the CR (carriage return, Unicode U+000D), and Microsoft came along and said, “Hey, you know what would really screw everything up?” They used both. Thus, the great line break incompatibility bug was born, and to this day programming languages have a difference between a ‘\n’ and a ‘\r’. And Unicode has about a dozen different ways to say “start a new line here.”

Double Bucky, you’re the one!

Our beloved Jargon File takes over the show for the next round of keyboard folklore. To put the problem in a nutshell, keyboard designers noticed right away that mere alphabet letters were just the beginning. Clearly, everybody wants keys that do something they have to do often, like halt program execution or type the Pi symbol or unmount the day’s tapes. But what functions to build in, and what to leave out? The answer usually turned out to be “Why leave anything out?” This was feature creep in keyboard form.
It led to the Space cadet keyboard, the basis for many golden age computer input devices for generations to come, including the popular IBM Model-Ms. The Space Cadet keyboard just kept piling on shift keys, meta-shift keys, and meta-meta-meta shifts until you could type Japanese, Hebrew, Norwegian, Cyrillic, and probably Kingon if you knew the right chords.
The F1-F12 (which stood for ‘function’) keys were the biggest holdover from this era, reasoning that programmers could assign special meaning to these keys as the needs fit. Beyond that, the ‘super’ key became the designated fourth bucky-bit. On PC keyboards this became the notorious ‘Windows’ logo key, and on the MacIntosh it became the weird pretzel shape. Both of them, if you read keypress events on the bit-level, show up as some kind of ‘super’ shift event.

A mile of appendices:

Print Screen: Originally saved a dump of the screen text to the printer – the green bar laser printer, that is – on a text terminal. Evolved into taking a screenshot in a graphics sense.
SysRq: Originally was “system request,” originally to perform low-level interrupts. Typically, the key would call the BIOS on an IBM clone. Some Linux kernels have scavenged this key to provide crash-recovery and system coredump functions.
Scroll Lock: This is the most notorious ‘appendix’ key, because it gets everyone’s attention. It’s one of three keys important enough to get their own green glowing LED on decades of keyboards, and nobody, anywhere, ever used it. Scroll lock was used to freeze the screen on a text terminal during a text file dump, to pause output until you could catch up reading.
Pause / Break: Used by programmers to halt execution of code during debugging.
The number pad: Has its own interesting history. Quick data entry needed a compact keypad in the ten-key configuration, so the golden age keyboards simply tacked this on the side. It became a de-facto control module for generations of hackers and gamers. To this day, 3D software suites like Blender use the keypad for navigating around 3D space. It was even possible in some older Unix systems to use the number pad as a mouse emulator.
As a side note, there was a mouse hate backlash for awhile! Typing purists believed taking your hand off the keyboard to use the mouse was sacrilege; this push culminated in the Ratpoison Window Manager designed to kill the mouse (the ‘rat’). We dare you to download and install it in the modern day. Actually, it might not work, because who has an old keyboard lurking around anymore?

Now how important is intuitive design again?

So why, continuing into the laptop, tablet, and phone era, has the computer keyboard kept these archaic trappings? The kind of designers known as “information architects” will snidely condescend that good design = intuitive, but in fact it’s become apparent over the years that good design is whatever random interface we cobbled together in the first place, followed by decades of keeping it that way because nobody wants to learn to do things differently.
See also: The imperial measures system and automatic transmissions.
We have always done it this way, so we go on doing it this way.
