Top Ten Geek Girls

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the holiday-weekend-is-starting-early dept.

TurboPatrol writes "CNET have published a list of the Top Ten Girl Geeks throughout history. The winners include the elegant Ada Byron (the world's first computer programmer), Grace Hopper (invented the compiler) and Lisa Simpson (invented the perpetual motion machine — well, in the world of cartoons). Some of the entries are fascinating, for example Marie Curie apparently used to carry plutonium in her jacket pockets. Have they missed anyone out?" At least two entries on the list are stupid. I guess someone thought they were funny.

    Funny thing, I found this blog today when Googling something completely different, but found it very interesting. Anyway, I guess this book was written about you.

    Wasn't Java supposed to be a WebOS? Why, exactly, should I rewrite my online applications to run on GoogOS?
