每周，我們都會為您帶來有趣的瑣事和Geekdom檔案庫中的里程碑。 今天，我們來看看Twitter的誕生，Mac OS X的十年發展以及歷史上最長的停留時間。

Twitter五歲了 (Twitter Turns Five)

Twitter officially launched in July of 2006, but the first tweet went out on March 21, 2006 when Twitter chairman Jack Dorsey sent out the first tweet, “just setting up my twttr”. Initially the reaction to Twitter was lukewarm and the service received heavy criticism multiple fronts as being frivolous and downright useless; jokes about people tweeting what they were eating and consequently excreting abounded. While Twitter has never quite shook off that criticism (and in fairness, a significant number of tweets are painfully banal) it has grown to become a big player in the dispersal of real time information. When dictators feel the need to block your service because too many people are using it to transmit real time updates to the outside world, you know you’re doing things right.

Twitter于2006年7月正式啟動，但第一條推文于2006年3月21日發布，當時Twitter董事長杰克·多爾西(Jack Dorsey)發送了第一條推文，“只是設置了我的twttr”。 最初，對Twitter的React是冷淡的，該服務因輕浮和徹頭徹尾的無用而受到了廣泛的批評。 人們在推特上吃他們的東西，然后大量地排泄，這開玩笑。 盡管Twitter從未完全擺脫這種批評(公平地說，相當多的推文令人痛苦地平庸)，但它已成為散布實時信息的重要參與者。 當獨裁者由于太多人正在使用它來向外界發送實時更新而感到需要阻止您的服務時，您就知道您做的很好。

Mac OS X十周年 (10th Anniversary of Mac OS X)

On March 24, 2001 Apple released the 10th iteration of their Mac OS, dubbed Mac OS X. It was the first release to use a Roman numeral in place of an Arabic number and it would retain the X designation through five major upgrades. OS X was a sweeping upgrade from prior Mac OS versions and included more effective multitasking, memory protection, and a layered architecture for more efficient and stable execution of code. The most visible change was the introduction of the Aqua theme which, with it’s soft edges and translucent colors, is one of the most recognizable aspects of the OS X experience. You can read more about OS X and the changes between versions here.

2001年3月24日，Apple發布了Mac OS的第十版，稱為Mac OSX 。 這是第一個使用羅馬數字代替阿拉伯數字的版本，它將通過五個主要升級保留X名稱。 OS X是Mac OS以前版本的全面升級，包括更有效的多任務處理，內存保護和分層體系結構，可更高效，更穩定地執行代碼。 最明顯的變化是引入了Aqua主題，該主題具有柔和的邊緣和半透明的顏色，是OS X體驗中最可識別的方面之一。 您可以在此處閱讀有關OS X以及版本之間的更改的更多信息。

最長的太空停留結束 (Longest Space Stay Comes to an End)

On March 22, 1995 Russian Cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov returns to Earth after an amazing 437 days in space aboard the Mir space station. Not only had Polyakov set a record for the longest uninterrupted stay in space but over all he has spent more time in space than any other person (almost two years in total). His stay aboard Mir was closely monitored and scientists were eager to study him when he returned. Polyakov had volunteered for the extended stay to show that the human body was capable of surviving the extended time in space required to get from Earth to Mars. Astonishingly, despite being in zero gravity for over a year he was able to walk out of his space capsule upon landing on Earth thanks to his daily workout routine aboard the station and adequate nutrition.

1995年3月22日，俄羅斯宇航員瓦列里·波利亞科夫(Valeri Polyakov)在和平號空間站上飛行了437天后，回到了地球。 Polyakov不僅創造了最長的不間斷太空停留記錄，而且總的來說，他在太空停留的時間比其他任何人都多(總計近兩年)。 他在Mir船上的逗留受到嚴密監視，當他返回時，科學家渴望研究他。 波利亞科夫自愿延長逗留時間，以證明人體有能力在從地球到火星的太空停留中生存。 令人驚訝的是，盡管他在零重力環境下工作了一年多，但由于他每天在站上鍛煉，并有足夠的營養，因此能夠在著陸時走出太空艙。
