| 2016 a bad year for tech celebs too While the world moaned about the surprise exit of so many celebs in 2016 it was a pretty rubbish year for tech celebs logging off too. Most of them were pioneers but others wer important to the technology of humanity in general. For example David Balme, who was the royal navy bod resposible for capturing the the Nazi’s Enigma encryption device finally bought it. Then there was Jane Fawcett who deciphered a crucial Enigma-encoded message during the war. Erich Bloch who developed the first IBM mainframe and Intel CEO Andy Grove. Ray Tomlinson, the inventor of email pressed send, and John Ellenby, who invented the laptop clamed up for the last time. Bill Campbell the brains behind Apple’s Steve Jobs, Google’s Larry Page, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos stopped giving his sage advice. http://www.techeye.net/news/2016-a-b...ech-celebs-too |
