Happy First Commercial Central Processing Unit Day!
It was 40 years ago today (more or less): "The Intel 4004 was a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) released by Intel Corporation in 1971. It was the first complete CPU on one chip, and also the first commercially available microprocessor. Such a feat of integration was made possible by the use of then new silicon gate technology allowing a higher number of transistors and a faster speed than was possible before." And think of all the joys it's brought us! Seriously, think about it.





Bear videos! And the world's most depressing weather reports…. But mostly bear videos!!
@jolie What a world.
@laurel Man, now I want a drink.

Yeah, but couldn't they have made it look less like a centipede?
I actually thought this was going to be a post about for-profit prisons. America!
