Emacs
History:
Emacs
development began at the MIT AI Lab during the 1970s. Before its
introduction, the Incompatible Timesharing System (ITS), the
operating system on the AI Lab's PDP-6 and PDP-10 computers, featured
a default line editor known as Tape Editor and Corrector (TECO)
(later changed to Text
Editor and Corrector, the ‘tape’ referring to paper tape). Unlike
most modern text editors, TECO has separate modes which the user used
to either add text, edit existing text, or display the document.
Typing characters into TECO did not place those characters directly
into a document; one had to write a series of instructions in the
TECO command language telling it to enter the required characters,
during which time the edited text was not displayed on the screen.
This behavior is similar to the program ed.

Name:
Mothra
History:
Mothra was written by Tom Duff for the Second Edition of Plan 9. It
is named after the Japanese horror-movie monster Mothra - Tom Duff
picked the name because Netscape's browser is called Mozilla, a
portmanteau of Mosaic (its progenitor) and Godzilla - and Mothra is
its Plan 9 "counterpart". It is not included in the current
Plan 9 version releases, and can be found in the
/n/sources/extra/mothra directory on a Plan 9 system (usually the
fossil server at sources.bell-labs.com is mounted at /n/sources/
(using the 9P protocol)).
Mothra has two UI "display" modes that can be toggled from a menu on right clicking: the first mode displays the current page's URL and title, the browsing history in form of a list of pages visited during the session and it offers a command line for input; the second mode removes all UI and displays the page in the full window.

Netpositive
History:
NetPositive (often called Net+) is the default browser
that comes with the Be Operating System (BeOS). It has partial
support for JavaScript, but no Java or CSS support. NetPositive
originally was the only web browser available for BeOS, but that is
no longer the case. The last official version of NetPositive before
the Be, Inc. bankruptcy was 2.2 /2.2.1 for US customers, but there
also exists a 3.0d3 beta version, and a leaked 2.2.2 which changed
from the RSA Encryption Engine to OpenSSL, possibly indicating that
Be were cleaning the source of commercial code with an intent to open
source, like the OpenTracker project.
Built binaries
of NetPositive, including all encryption libraries, and other tools
not provided by the OS itself, such as the HTTP and FTP engines,
weigh in from 1.4 to 1.7 MB in size, uncompressed, depending on the
strength of encryption provided.

Name:
Enigma
History:
is any of a family of related electro-mechanical
rotor cipher machines used for the encryption and decryption of
secret messages. Enigma was invented by German engineer Arthur
Scherbius at the end of World War I.[1] The early models
were used commercially from the early 1920s, and adopted by military
and government services of several countries — most notably by Nazi
Germany before and during World War II.[2] Several
different Enigma models were produced, but the German military models
are the ones most commonly discussed.

History:
The investigation of surnames in genetics can be
said to go back to George Darwin, a son of Charles Darwin. In 1875,
George Darwin used surnames to estimate the frequency of first-cousin
marriages and calculated the expected incidence of marriage between
people of the same surname (isonymy). He arrived at a figure between
2.25% and 4.5% for cousin-marriage in the population of Great
Britain, with the upper classes being on the high end and the general
rural population on the low end. (His parents, Charles Darwin and
Emma Wedgwood, were first cousins.) This simple study was innovative
for its era. The next stimulus toward using genetics to study family
history had to wait until the 1990s, when certain locations on the Y
chromosome were identified as being useful for tracing male-to-male
inheritance.

Wiserearth
History:
WiserEarth.org launched on Earth Day (April 22nd) 2007 as an
online directory of the 100,000+ organizations touched upon in Paul
Hawken's book, Blessed Unrest[3].
The author had amassed a collection of business cards from thousands
of organizations over the years, but had not found a comprehensive
directory listing all non-profit organizations involved in the social
justice and environmental sector. Estimating the number of
organizations into total to be well over a million[4],
Hawken launched WiserEarth.org as an online directory to help map out
the work done by these organizations. Today, WiserEarth.org
incorporates additional social networking features, such as groups[5]
and messaging tools, to provide greater possibilities for
collaboration. Though its API
and content are licensed for
non-commercial use (see below), WiserEarth has expanded its
organization directory to include listings for for-profit businesses
and government agencies.

Name:
Elftown
History: The
plan behind Elftown was at first to build a site based around dating
site construction software, because Elfwood’s then set-up of a
LiveJournal
community that didn't seem to work that well. The dating site
software seemed to be far more adjustable to the running of
discussion forums, the building of art galleries, and other things
that interested the people of Elfwood. Elfwood had thought about
using LysKOM as the
software for its forum, but this failed due to how complicated many
users found the system. However, LysKOM
was a strong source of inspiration for the Elftown forums, which
makes them a unique type of web-forum. They can be hard to use at
first, but they are very powerful tools once a user is familiar with
them.

Vox
History:
: Vox was an Internet
blogging service run
by Six Apart,
which ran from October 26, 2006 to September 30, 2010.[1]
[2]
Before launching, it had the codename "Project Comet".
The service
claimed to be more streamlined and easier-to-use than other blogging
tools available. Its design had features often associated with the
Web 2.0 trend. The
service was more focused on social
networking
features than other blogging platforms. Such features included the
ability to set permissions on who is able to view each post and a
friends list on the sidebar.
On September 2,
2010, Six Apart announced Vox would be closed permanently by the end
of the month, providing export tools to their TypePad
blogging platform and to Flickr.
New content could be posted to the service until September 15, 2010,
and it closed permanently on September 30, 2010.
