Taligent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taligent

Taligent (a portmanteau of Talent and Intelligent) was the name of an
object-oriented operating system and the company dedicated to
producing it. Initially started as a project within Apple Computer to
produce a replacement for the Mac OS, it was later spun off into a
joint venture with IBM in order to build a competing platform to
Microsoft Cairo and NeXTSTEP, as part of the AIM alliance. Taligent
was dissolved in the late 1990s.

Somebody Else's Problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somebody_Else%27s_Problem

Various areas of psychology and philosophy of perception are concerned
with the reasons why individuals often ignore issues that are of
relative or critical importance. Optimism bias tends to reduce issues
of subjectivity due to the tendency to have thought processes that are
overly positive- “”Overly positive assumptions can lead to
disastrous miscalculations — make us less likely to get health
checkups, apply sunscreen or open a savings account, and more likely
to bet the farm on a bad investment.”

Pen computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen_computing

There are a number of human factors considerations when actually
substituting a stylus and tablet for a mouse. For example, it is much
harder to target or tap the same exact position twice with a stylus,
so “double-tap” operations with a stylus are harder to perform if
the system is expecting “double-click” input from a mouse.

Scope creep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_creep

Typically, the scope increase consists of either new products or new
features of already approved product designs, without corresponding
increases in resources, schedule, or budget. As a result, the project
team risks drifting away from its original purpose and scope into
unplanned additions. As the scope of a project grows, more tasks must
be completed within the budget and schedule originally designed for a
smaller set of tasks. Accordingly, scope creep can result in a project
team overrunning its original budget and schedule.

Psion Organiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psion_Organiser

The “SIBO” family name stood for “SIxteen Bit Organiser” and
the improved version of the OPL language (with window and focus
controls) was at the root of what was later sold as the Symbian
operating system, which until 2010 was the most widely used OS in
smartphones, being at 2011 displaced by Google’s Android OS. This
change was more significant than appeared at the time. The consumer
level ‘high’ programming language still shares features with OPL,
but the developer toolkits were from then on focused on programmers
familiar with C and only the Symbian operating system remains.

Alma_mater
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alma_mater

Alma mater (Latin: “nourishing mother”), pronounced UK: /ˈælmə
ˈmeɪtər/, US: /ˈɑːlmə ˈmɑːtər/), was used in ancient Rome as
a title for various mother goddesses, especially Ceres or Cybele, and
in Christianity for the Virgin Mary. In modern times, it is often any
school, college, or university at which one has studied and, usually,
from which one has graduated. The term may also refer to a song or
hymn associated with a school.
