In fact, 2010 venture capital fundraising is at the same level as it was in 1995 and 1996. The Long Awaited Arrival of the Internet Boom.

Before my partner Marc Andreessen and his friends at the University of Illinois invented the browser in 1993, most people thought only scientists and researchers would use the Internet. The Internet was thought to be too arcane, insecure and slow to meet real business needs. The implications of the propriety vision were not good.

In the early days of the Internet as an advertising medium the industry organized to create “standard ad units&# for which most media companies would sell their inventory. The standards were set by the IAB ( Interactive Advertising Bureau ), which was founded in 1996. Solve Media is that. More on that another day.

Starting in 1996 with the Intel P6 (Pentium Pro) to today’s P7 chips (Core i7) these processors contain instructions that are reprogrammable in what is called microcode. Yet the one company’s name that hasn’t come up as part of the surveillance network is Intel. All hell broke loose when Edward Snowden leaked all this to press.
