The Computers That Made Britain
The home computer boom of the 1980s brought with it now-iconic machines such as the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, and Commodore 64. Those machines would inspire a generation and foster the creation of a booming British software industry that continues to this day. With the help of hefty government discounts, computers worked their way into primary and secondary schools around the country. Millions more computers appeared in living rooms and bedrooms around the country. For once, Britain was ahead of the world, helping to create a golden generation of British programmers. The Computers That Made Britain tells the story of 19 of those computers, and what happened behind the scenes. This book is as m...

Too Much Fun
The surprising history of the Commodore 64, the best-selling home computer of the 1980s—the machine that taught the world that computing should be fun. The Commodore 64 (C64) is officially the best-selling desktop computer model of all time, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. It was also, from 1985 to 1993, the platform for which most video games were made. But while it sold at least twice as many units as other home computers of its time, like the Apple II, ZX Spectrum, or Commodore Amiga, it is strangely forgotten in many computer histories. In Too Much Fun, Jesper Juul argues that the C64 was so popular because it was so versatile, a machine developers and users would rein...
Models
Models are an essential component of the architect's design process. As tools of translation, models assist the exploration of the possible and illustrate the actual. While models have traditionally served as representational and structural studies, they are increasingly being used to suggest and solve new spatial and structural configurations. Models, the eleventh volume of the highly regarded journal 306090, explores the role of the architectural model today in relation to the idea, the diagram, the technique, and the material. Models includes contributions from engineers, scientists, poets, painters, photographers, historians, urbanists, and architects both young and experienced.

How did the Commodore 64 conquer the hearts of millions and become a platform people still actively develop for even today? What made it so special?

It discusses in a concise but rigorous format the different areas of home gaming and personal computing where the C64 managed to innovate and push forward existing boundaries. Starting from Jack Tramiel's vision of designing computers "for the masses, not the classes," the book introduces the 6510, VIC-II and SID chips that made the C64 unique. It briefly discusses its Basic programming lan...
Internet Comedy Television Series, 1997-2015
Created around the world and available only on the web, Internet "television" series are independently produced, mostly low budget shows that often feature talented but unknown performers. Typically financed through crowd-funding, they are filmed with borrowed equipment and volunteer casts and crews, and viewers find them through word of mouth or by chance. The fourth in a series covering Internet TV, this book takes a comprehensive look at 1,121 comedy series produced exclusively for online audiences. Alphabetical entries provide websites, dates, casts, credits, episode lists and storylines.
Retro Gamer Spezial 2/2017 – C64
Retro Gamer Sonderheft 2/2017 – C64 Das Retro-Gamer-Sonderheft widmet sich ganz dem legendären Commodore 64. Der „Brotkasten" war der erfolgreichste Heimcomputer der Welt und der beliebteste in Deutschland. Für seine Fans war die 8-Bit-Maschine nicht nur ein Rechenknecht, sondern Eintrittstor in die Welt der Computer, nicht zuletzt weil er von Beginn an halbwegs bezahlbar war und viele Tricks beherrschte. Wir haben die 260 Seiten dieses Sonderhefts in vier Bereiche gegliedert: Im Heftteil Die Plattform stellen wir den Commodore 64 an sich vor und geben einen Überblick über das, was ihn ausmachte, inklusive der besten Spiele oder auch weniger bekannter Geheimtipps. Im darauffolgenden Teil Die Spiele behandeln wir 33 Commodore-64-Titel ausführlich, sei es aus Blick unserer Spieleveteranen oder im Hinblick auf ihre Entstehungsgeschichte. Danach widmen wir im Heftteil Die Macher mehrere Artikel wichtigen Firmen und Einzelpersonen, bevor es in der Kategorie Die Verwandtschaft noch um Vorgänger, Spin-offs und Nachfolger geht, darunter VC-20, Plus/4 und C128. ePaper-PDF: 98 MB
Profiting From Uncertainty
What manager is not anxious about the future? We live in a white-knuckled age of rapid technological change and global instability. But uncertainty is not the enemy, says management expert Paul J. H. Schoemaker. It is where the greatest opportunities are. To unlock these opportunities, however, requires a very different approach to strategy and implementation. In this pioneering book, Dr. Schoemaker presents a systematic approach that combines concepts such as scenario planning, options thinking, and dynamic monitoring to create novel strategies for profiting from ambiguity. Building on his experience with more than one hundred consulting projects in fields ranging from health care to manufa...
