Isom, James. (2002 -- 2003). "A Brief History of Robotics." Robotics Laboratory. Internet. Retrieved at http://robotics.megagiant.com/history.html.
This website features an extensive timeline on the history of robotics, beginning in 350 B.C.E. with the Greek mathematician Archytas of Tarentum who built a mechanical bird propelled by steam and ending with the second Mars Exploration Rover "Opportunity" which landed safely on the Meridium Planum on January 23, 2004. As Isom points out, this timeline "is obviously not an exhaustive history" but it does cover a wide range of times and places in which robots played major roles. Isom also includes seventeen additional web links and timelines on robotic history.

In the same year, the founders started a new company for computer development called the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation. By 1949, this company launched the BINAC or Binary Automatic computer. This computer made use of magnetic tape for the storage of data. Then this company was bought by Remington Rand Corporation and the name was changed to Univac Division of Remington Rand. This company was the organization to bring out
7 billion by 2008 establishing the fact that Linux is no more a fringe player but rather a mainstream. IDC admitted that Linux is not being used just on new hardware only. As an alternative customers frequently reinstall existing servers to run Linux. While considering for such use as also the use of Linux for secondary OS, IDC forecasts for servers running Linux to remain 26% larger in 2008. Evidently,
On the other hand, we might be able to "incubate" a cable network by playing a Thursday night series of cable games, and such a network could be a long-run success that would strengthen our product as well."
