Celebrity vs Geek

Dennis Ritchie just died. If your not a geek you might not know who that is but he probably more important than Steve Jobs as far as the smart phone you are running or the web page your are viewing. He was not cool, he was not a Billionaire but he was amazing. Its kind of sad that he made just the bottom of the web page of the New York Times while Steve Job dominated it for a week. He invented much of what we use today. Back in the 70's with big iron costing millions of dollars he invented a small flexible operating system called Unix and a programming an equally flexible. That technology is parent or grandparent of IOS, Linux, CPM (which was copied to become Windows). MacOSX. Thanks Mr. Ritchie you were amazing.
