1. Alan Turing's death was NOT a suicide……he was over exposed to the cyanide he was using for electro-plating, absent minded as he was known to be, not paying proper attention to its invisible fumes….! He was much too intelligent to cut his own life short and to put a halt to the design and development to the computer he was working on in the privacy of his own home. The apple with bites out of it which was found nearby was not subject to any forensic testing, now was he himself subject to a proper, full autopsy……those who did not understand this man, took a lot for granted in the discovery of his dead body….far too quickly to jump to their own conclusions than to be intelligent enough to properly gather, examine and study ALL the evidence leading to his very untimely death….this itself is perhaps the greatest insult to this highly gifted man who never, ever sought self-recognition or reward……I recommend that his next of kin insist on a full and proper autopsy from his remains……if he had been subject to inadvertent exposure to cyanide fumes over a period of time, that will certainly become "evident" in such a modern day autopsy…….(Modern day science assisting Egyptologists, exhuming mummies have positively 100% identified a high level of……cocaine residue in the bodies of those who suffered from advanced forms of dental decay, and…..since cocaine was only known to be produced in South America, where/how did this ancient Egyptians acquire that ?) Turing was well known to be continually building computer parts etc and using advanced electro-plating processes with high concentrations of…….potassium cyanide….!! Anyone thinking he committed suicide at the mid point of his (otherwise very healthy and very physically fit) life is a village idiot now absent from their village….!

2. Ever heard of Konrad Zuse?

3. Oh so now he`s a genius ? But u had to kill him via chemical castration; Could not let him be …

4. Before I start, this is in no way a bash at Alan Turing, he was a shy genius, it just sets certain time lines correct as the implication in the small film seems to indicate certain facts that on reflection are not entirely correct.

   Just a couple of corrections.
   1) There is no evidence to suggest that Alan Turing worked on or helped in the development of the Colossus. According to the war time document "General Report on Tunny" the idea behind the colossus was entirely the work of Mr Tommy Flowers. In January 1943, Tommy Flowers was given the green light to recruit talented individuals who then worked on the solution that would become Colossus. The Colossus comes as a result of the imperfect but essential Robinson machine that was used to solve the Lorenz Cipher system.

   Tommy Flowers was already known to Alan Turing, who recommended him to Max Newman because of his help in the design of elements of the BOMBE's. Further more Alan Turing's contribution to the solution of electronic decryption was mainly from his implementation of probability in cryptanalysis.

   For his part, Alan Turing did invent a method of hacking the Lorenz Cipher, called Turingery, which is where the common misconception arises regarding his involvement with the Colossus project. Irene Dixon, a Wren working on Colossus 1, did however mention that sometime in 1944, she saw Alan Turing, Max Newman and Tommy Flowers enter a room for a meeting. What the meeting entailed is not revealed, but it is highly probable that due to the design of Colossus, Alan Turing may well have been interested in its design to help with other projects he might have been working on, including DELILAH. However without concrete proof it is impossible to say. Alan Turing was indeed aware of the design of Colossus as he was frequently back at Bletchley Park from March 1943 onwards.

   2) The Pilot ACE was definitely not the first General Purpose Computer. The first general purpose stored program computer was infact the EDSAC that ran it's first program on April the 5th 1949. Another notable example that ran its first program in 1949 was the Australian CSIRAC. In some regards it does not matter who designed the first of anything, if there is nothing to prove it works then it is not the first. If that were the case, then we need to revisit the inventors of the Transistor as it was not the Bell 3 in 1947, but Julius Edgar Lilienfeld who filed a patent for the 'Field Effect Transistor' in 1925. Unfortunately for him he published nothing else and vanished into history. It is also known that Alan Turing was also extremely dismissive about the EDSAC autocode, considering it largely a waste of time.

   3) The ACE was considered far too advanced to be built straight away by the NPL, so they produced a smaller version called the Pilot ACE. By this time however Alan Turing had moved on to Manchester University where he would further study biology and maths, which fascinated him.

   4) Software really starts with the EDSAC, as this was the first machine to Abstract code away from the hardware. In using the ACE it was necessary to understand how the machine worked, otherwise inefficient solutions would be made. The EDSAC had a simple code base that allowed anyone to understand the language and not care about the hardware.

   Sorry to be pedantic, but the facts all seem to point, like the film 'Imitation Game', to Alan Turing as the saviour of the world at Bletchley Park. He, like all the other people at Bletchley Park formed a tight knit team who solved some of the most intractable problems in the shortest possible time. To elevate Alan Turing above all the others is a disservice to all the minds who like Turing, shortened the war by many years.

   At this point I feel it necessary to big up Max Newman, who in my opinion anyway, should really be considered the Father of Modern computing, as it was he who secured £35,000 funding at Manchester University to form the Computing Laboratory. This is where the Manchester Baby SSEC computer was designed and built in 1948. In proving that stored program was indeed capable it forever changed our lives. Alan Turing contributed many seeds of ideas to the world, but it was the trail blazing effort and work of many others who laid the foundations that we all use now.

5. Cool!   To bad Babbage did not have this FLODAC tech. Patent 3190554 . The pipe organ folks could have made his engines for him and Lovelace could have invented COBOL .

6. nice
