Charles Babbage

Charles Babbage KH FRS (/ˈbæbɪdʒ/; 26 December 1791 – 18 October 1871) was an English polymath.[1] A mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer, Babbage originated the concept of a digital programmable computer.[2]
Considered by some to be a "father of the computer",[2][3][4][5] Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex electronic designs, though all the essential ideas of modern computers are to be found in Babbage's analytical engine.[2][6] His varied work in other fields has led him to be described as "pre-eminent" among the many polymaths of his century.[1]
Parts of Babbage's incomplete mechanisms are on display in the Science Museum in London. In 1991, a functioning difference enginewas constructed from Babbage's original plans. Built to tolerances achievable in the 19th century, the success of the finished engine indicated that Babbage's machine would have worked.

AMIDuOS Price:  Free Trial / $10-$15 DOWNLOAD FROM AMIDUOS! AMIDuOS is first on our list and this is a relatively newer Android emulator for PC. This one comes in two flavors: Lollipop and Jelly Bean. Aside from the version type, the only other difference between the two is Jelly Bean costs $10 while Lollipop costs $15. The good news is that those are one-time charges. AMIDuOS runs very well for multiple purposes. Most of its features are for productivity rather than gaming. That makes it a good option for office use, homework, and similar tasks. There aren't any specific gaming features, but it does run games rather well. Developers could use it for basic testing, but it won't be great for advanced stuff. It's good overall and worth a chance. Android Studio's emulator Price:  Free DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY Android Studio is the Google-approved development IDE for Android. It comes with a bunch of tools to help developers make app...
