Recently i was on techjamaica in their forums where im a regular and one of its members posted a video of persons being being tricked into thinking that what they were testing out was the new iPad 3 which really were iPad2s, check it out  here . What fellow posters in the the thread and i kept talking about is how Apple is able to reproduce the same iDevices with not much major changes to the hardware or software and continue to reap a lot from it, but as usual there are always going to be devoted apple fans that hate  when you talk the truth.

The ALGOL (Algorithmic Programming Language) developed in the mid 1950’ s with the aims of: Creating a a language for scientific computation.  A language that was machine independent.  A universally accepted Programming Language.  Being the first language that Addressed the issue of software portability. All these goalswere acheved by an international Committe  in the late 1950s’ in a report entitled Algol58 followed by other reports etitled Algol60 and Algol68 respectively .Like many other languages it had a few problems here and there:  Although machine independence enabled developers to be more creative it made implementing more difficult. Despite the fact that the commercial populatrity of the Algol Family was not as great as other languages in its time such as Cobal and Fortran, but  you could say that its algorithmic structure was, which made it the most important language of its time. Languages which were later developed  after (B,C,CPL,Pascal,ADA just to nam
