Paul Terrell, proprietor of The Byte Shop in Mountain View California, recently released these old Polaroids of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak’s first computer: the Apple 1, taken in 1976.

At the time, Terrell – whose store was effectively the first Apple dealership – had just taken delivery of the first fifty Apple computers ever made.

Extremely rare photos from the The Gordon Bennett Motor Cup Race – an event as big as the papal visit – which took place in the counties of Laois, Carlow and Kildare.

Anyone recognise any of the locations?

A rather charming New York story by Mark Cersosimo and Kelsey Holtaway:

On an unseasonably warm November night in Manhattan on our way to get ice cream, we stumbled upon what appeared to be a vintage shop, brightly lit display window and all. As we began to walk in, a man sitting out front warned us that we were welcome to explore, but nothing inside was for sale. Our interests piqued, we began to browse through the collections the man out front had built throughout his life. This is a story of a man and his home.

Canadian YouTuber Kyle Burton writes:

I talked my Grandma into developing her old 8mm movie. I’m happy I did because the footage is unreal. My grandfather would document each family vacation and this video tells the story of a family road trip though Ireland. I tried to edit the footage as unobtrusively as possible to tell his story. Includes Belfast, Antrim, Ventry, Dingle, County Donegal, Dungiven.
