  9)Alan Turing
  Famous Geekiness: The 10)Turing Machine in second place. His effect on the outcome of the Second World War in first.
  This year, on Alan Turing’s birthday, Google honored him with a special 11)doodle. Why? Because the famous 12)cipher breaker is regarded as the Father of Computer Science. He also made a lasting contribution to ideas about artificial intelligence. The Turing Machine was the 13)forefather of the modern computer 14)algorithm.
  如果说我看得比别人更远,那是因为我站在巨人的肩膀上。”天才艾萨克·牛顿曾这么说过。史上最杰出的头脑之一所归结的真理,本文榜单上的每位备受尊崇的人士也该十分认同吧。“十”这个数字,相对那些改变世界的极客们,只是一个极小的数目,作为代表性的数字,为的是保持名单简要。
  我能用以辩解的唯一内在逻辑就是极客名单上的人或许是即使你在附近的购物商场遇到,也不会认出来的。没有第三版人物,所以不会是史蒂夫·乔布斯、比尔·盖茨、塞吉·布林和拉里·佩奇,或者马克·扎克伯格。
   Napster was shut down in 2001 after a series of 39)lawsuits by music majors. Napster popularized the P2P model and it was one of the first platforms where indie singers and underground music could make its name. Shawn Fanning is a college 40)dropout and he set up Napster along with John Fanning and Sean Parker. Famous Geekiness: Created BitTorrent.
  You might have heard about BitTorrent but not about Bram Cohen. The American computer programmer wrote the peer-to-peer protocol that enables us to share files of any type simultaneously with other users around the world. He also programmed the BitTorrent client.
  42)Michael Hart
  Famous Geekiness: Creator of the electronic book(eBook).
  Michael Hart is probably the least geeky person on this list, but his contribution is profound and could be more so as knowledge expands and spreads. Thanks to eBooks. He is also the founder of Project Gutenberg, which makes available books out of copyright (public domain) and some copyrighted works that are available with express permission. Project Gutenberg can also be thought of as the world’s first online public library.
  纳普斯特网在经历了一系列音乐要人的法律诉讼之后,于2001年关闭。纳普斯特网普及化了点对点模型,而且当时那是独立音乐人和地下音乐得以扬名立万的首个平台。肖恩·范宁是一个大学辍学生,和约翰·范宁、肖恩·帕克共同建立了纳普斯特网。
  布拉姆·科恩
  极客本领:开发了比特流软件。
  你或许听说过比特流,但是却没听过布拉姆·科恩。这位美国计算机程序设计员编写了点对点协议,使得我们能够与世界各地用户同步共享任何形式的文档。他还编写了比特流客户端。
  迈克尔·哈特
  极客本领:电子书的创造者。
  迈克尔·哈特或许是这个名单上最不极客的人了,但是他的贡献意义深远,而且随着知识的积累和传播,影响可能远不止如此。多亏了电子书。他还是“古登堡计划”的创建人,这个计划使得书籍(在公共领域中)不受版权限制就可供阅览,还有一些带有明确许可的版权作品。古登堡计划也可以看作是世界上第一个网络公共图书馆。

上世纪的好莱坞电影,你能看到这样的“经典脸谱”:白种人的救世主,黑种人的坏蛋,还有黄种人的服务生。在美国,聊起中国就是“武术”,聊起日本就是“寿司”,聊起其他地方,就是用“脸谱”来“对号入座”。这种“脸谱式”的解读不完全是毫无根据的误读,但更重要的是满足了美国大众主流文化的需要,也流露其高人一等的社会心态。今天,作为“美国精神”广播器的好莱坞在逐步改变这种“脸谱”解读,受迫于中国电影审查制度的压力
