Dave Jaggar: A History of the ARM Microprocessor and it's Rise and Fall [...] | Talks at Google

Dave discusses the novel and inspiring career that led to the ARM architecture which effectively powers the digital world, being the reason that your phone is small and doesn't burn a hole in your pocket.

In the late 1980’s Acorn, a British one-hit-wonder computer company, faced imminent extinction, with its only assets being 18 months of life support rations and perhaps the worst microprocessor ever designed. What they did right was to hire Dave Jaggar, with the ink still wet on his master's thesis. Over eight years Dave systematically defined the entire ARM architecture, enabling it to be a popular embedded controller for the digital revolution, with around 100 billion units shipped. As ARM’s Head of Architecture Design, Dave authored the ARM Architectural Reference Manual and is the Founding Director of the ARM Austin Design Center.

Asda Newmarket Plan Rejected!

Control freakery is the order of the day from our beloved council, a council that on the one hand tells us it wants to regenerate the High Street, but if someone comes along proposing to do just that, rejects it out of hand. It also raises the question of who puts pressure on the council to reject any proposal put forward by the Unex Group? The control freaks in the racing industry is a good guess, I indeed liked the bleeding heart statement from a resident (from the racing industry) who was whineing that the proposed Hotel would block his view of Warren Hill from his multi-million pound house in Birdcage Walk (that's not exactly what he said, but that's what he meant!)...all this as reported in the biased Newmarket Journal...a message to the editor use the archives at your disposal to research this stuff, this is a cycle that has perpetuated itself since the 70's.
We cannot afford to take this complacent view any longer that racing is all this Town needs, it would be a brave man who predicted that the industry will continue as it is today.....events outside of our control, and many thousands of miles away will determine this. We cannot afford to take the single industry path any longer, there are many towns in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire who found out the hard way in the 80's with the closing of the pits, that they should have diversified many years before, consequently these are now Ghost Towns.
Sound familiar? it's already starting to happen here.....so resist the racing lobby, you deserve better...you deserve a future.
