Posted by timothy on Monday September 30, 2002 @08:23AM from the real-media-only-though dept.

sensui writes "Today we take DVD, cellphones for granted. Here is a nice documentary produced by UCSD-TV that helps us to remember who's the man behind all the fundamental theoretical work that truly enabled the information age. This documentary has recently won an biography award. Hope that can remind us this is not just what Bell Lab has been known for." Note: the entire documentary, not just a teaser, is available here, but only in RealMedia format.

I didn't know he was in jail.
Is he sharing a cell with Kevin Mitnick??

Inquiring minds want to know?

WTF... This guy copied my earlier post verbatim!! What a plagerizing homo. Go have an origional thought and actually contribute to Slashdot rather than copy others posts. Why don't you go back to jerking off to pictures of Rick Austenson with Michael A. Hartman.
