Following Brown's apology in behalf of Britain to Alan Turing, this poem by Matt Harvey on the Beeb:

    POEM: Alan Turing

    here’s a toast to Alan Turing
    born in harsher, darker times
    who thought outside the container
    and loved outside the lines
    and so the code-breaker was broken
    and we’re sorry
    yes now the s-word has been spoken
    the official conscience woken
    – very carefully scripted but at least it’s not encrypted –
    and the story does suggest
    a part 2 to the Turing Test:
    1. can machines behave like humans?
    2. can we?


Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Truly he didn't get the credit he deserved. Kinda like Tesla.
