Balsamiq?[edit]

Does anyone know if Balsamiq Mockups are based on Ken's Napkin Look and Feel?

It's obviously the same idea, done years later, so I even wonder if Balsamiq "borrowed" and relicensed the source, but I don't know one way or the other.

I hadn't heard of Balsamiq until I happened on this blog saying Balsamiq made $100k in 5 months.

Kenneth W. Arnold[edit]

There's some confusion between this Ken Arnold and the one who worked for Origin Systems on the Ultima (series) games. Kenneth W. Arnold's LinkedIn profile can be seen at http://www.linkedin.com/in/kennetharnold — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mecandes (talk • contribs) 13:56, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are mistaken. The article says "Note that despite occasional confusion on the topic, it was a different Ken Arnold (a "Ken W. Arnold") who contributed to the Ultima game series."

So the article explicitly tries to head off confusion. Perhaps you misread that. Dougmerritt (talk) 07:42, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another Ken Arnold?[edit]

Does any one know if the Ken Arnold of the article was a contributer to Apache POI? Or is this a different Ken Arnold? http://poi.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/poi/ss/format/CellFormat.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.55.60.122 (talk) 16:33, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BCC/CSUA confusion[edit]

The article says "At Berkeley, he was president of the Berkeley Computer Club and of the Computer Science Undergraduates Association", giving the impression that these were two different organizations. Actually, the BCC changed its name to the CSUA, mostly because the latter sounded more professional. I can't cite a source for this; I just know because I was actually a member of the BCC when it changed its name. There's no citation for that line, either, so would it be okay to change it to something like "president of the Berkeley Computer Club (later known as the Computer Science Undergraduates Association)", or just let sleeping dogs lie? — CWesling (talk) 20:08, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
