The Weird Email from Twitter

Twitter send email notification whenever you have a new Twitter follower. Normally, I receives a few of Twitter email everyday but I received a very weird Twitter email in July 2010.

Check the screenshot above. Have you notice something wrong? Yes, some of the words are printed backward.

Most text in the email is backward strings, except names, and information about the twitter user. The footer note is printed normally. Example:

You may follow redniraH as well by clicking on the “follow” button on their profile.If you believe redniraH is engaging in abusive behavior on Twitter, you may report redniraH for spam.

I have totally no idea how did Twitter send out the email with backward strings. Other Twitter emails I received at the day is normal.

Was it a special treatment to @lightyoruichi? ;) Let me know if you have any clue.

Believe It Or Not, The 5MB Hard Disk that Weighted Over 1 Ton!

the 5MB hard disk drive in 1956

The file-cabinet-lookalike-thing (weighted over a ton) that’s being loaded onto the aircraft in the picture is actually a 5MB hard disk drive for the IBM 305 RAMAC, the first IBM “super” computer released in September 1956.

The technology is growing so rapidly that we are amazed to see the hardware changes in the pass few decades.

So, be appreciated the storage space you have today. (Gosh! I have a Terabytes external hard disk on my desk!)
