How Stanford the CIA/NSA Built the Valley We
Know Today
How much does an average Googler know about
the history of the place
he works in? Silicon Valley.
Come and test your knowledge. I have seen
this talk and I assure you -
even seasoned Silicon Valley
veterans will find this story interesting.
Silicon Valley entrepreneur
Steve Blank will talk about how
World War II set the stage for the creation
and explosive growth of
Silicon Valley, and the role of
Frederick Terman and Stanford in working with
government agencies
(including the CIA and the
National Security Agency) to set up companies
in this area that
sparked the creation of hundreds
of other enterprises.
Speaker: Steve Blank
Steve Blank spent nearly 30 years as founder
and executive of high
tech companies in Silicon Valley,
most recently the enterprise software firm
E.piphany. He has been
involved in or co-founded eight
Silicon Valley startups, ranging from
semiconductors to video games,
and personal computers to
supercomputers. He teaches entrepreneurship
at U.C. Berkeley's Haas
School of Business,
Columbia University and Stanford's Graduate
School of Engineering.

| [Nintendo Ultra 64] 1994? Silicon Graphics Tech Demos |

http://www.unseen64.net

"Nintendo 64 is the culmination of work by
Nintendo, Silicon Graphics, and MIPS
Technologies. The SGI-based system design
that ended up in the Nintendo 64 was
originally offered to Tom Kalinske, then CEO
of Sega of America by James H. Clark, founder
of Silicon Graphics. SGI had recently bought
out MIPS Technologies and the two companies
had worked together to create a low-cost
CPU/3D GPU combo that they thought would be
ideal for the console market. A Sega of Japan
hardware team was sent to evaluate the chip's
capabilities and they found some faults which
MIPS subsequently solved. However, Sega of
Japan ultimately decided against SGI's
design, apparently in part due to internal
problems between Sega of Japan and Sega of
America.
In the early stages of development the
Nintendo 64 was referred to by the code name
"Project Reality"[3]. This monicker came from
the speculation within Nintendo that the
console could produce CGI on par with
then-current supercomputers. When unveiled to
the public on November 24, 1995, the console
was introduced as the Nintendo Ultra 64[4] at
the 7th Annual Shoshinkai Software Exhibition
in Japan." - [wikipedia]
