Nvidia could one day dominate the U.S. stock market benchmark S & P 500 by a magnitude that has never been seen before, more than doubling the influence of past leaders like Apple and Nokia, along with current leader Microsoft. "History suggests NVDA could become 10-15% of S & P 500," wrote chip analyst Mark Lipacis in a note Friday. "We have observed that at each successive computing era, the ecosystem players represent a larger weighting of the S & P 500." Nvidia is already doing most of the heavy lifting for the S & P 500. The chipmaker is responsible for about 37% of the S & P 500's year-to-date 12% return.

C. Gordon Bell, a technology visionary whose computer designs for Digital Equipment Corporation fueled the emergence of the minicomputer industry in the 1960s, died on Friday in Coronado, Calif. A virtuoso at computer architecture, he built the first time-sharing computer and championed efforts to build the Ethernet. He was among a handful of influential engineers whose designs formed the vital bridge between the room-size models of the mainframe era and the advent of the personal computer. He later joined Microsoft’s nascent research lab, where he remained for about 20 years before being named researcher emeritus. He helped make computing much more widespread and more personal.”

“I was an old-school hacker, doing it for intellectual curiosity,” Mitnick told Wired magazine in a 2008 interview. Mitnick and federal prosecutors agreed to a plea deal in 1999 to seven criminal counts, including wire fraud and causing damage to computers. Mitnick published a memoir on his hacking career, “Ghost in the Wires: My Adventures as the World’s Most Wanted Hacker,” in 2011. Following his prison term, Mitnick became a white-hat hacker, using his expertise to legally help businesses track people trying to break into their systems. “I made some really stupid mistakes in the past as a younger man that I regret,” Mitnick told CNN in a 2005 interview.
