From the New York Times Book Review of George Dyson's Turing's Cathedral on May 6, 2012: "The digital age can be traced to a machine built circa 1951 in Princeton, N.J. That machine was given the bureaucratic sounding name the Mathematical and Numerical Integrator and Computer, and was known by the acronym Maniac, meaning something wild and uncontrollable -- which it proved to be. But the crucial double entendre was contained in the computer's memory. For the first time, numbers could mean numbers or instructions. Data could be a noun or a verb ... Von Neumann and two colleagues codified their machine's architecture in a report issued in 1946. They could be called the fathers of the open-source movement, as they ultimately declined to seek any patents. Within a few years of the plans' being shared, over a dozen siblings to the Princeton machine existed across the globe. Indeed, the processors in every cellphone, tablet and laptop still hew closely to von Neumann's architecture."
