15. Before we had Windows, it was supposed to be named Interface Manager.
Windows OS would have been dubbed ‘Interface Manager’ if Bill Gates had his choice.

14. Can Computers Simulate The Human Brain?
People might assume that a computer could simulate the human brain. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth at present.
The human brain can perform an astounding 38 thousand trillion operations per second. It can also hold 3,584 terabytes of memory. So, if a computer would be manufactured to be comparable to the human brain, it would need to have the above performance specs.
For reference, IBM’s BlueGene supercomputer processes 92 trillion operations per second and features 8 terabytes of storage. This IBM supercomputer is one of the most powerful in the world, so it’s still far behind the human brain.You didn’t know this for sure if you you did research or you work with computers for years.It is crazy to believe but it’s actually true.
13. This Is The Most Powerful Consumer PC In The World
Without a doubt, the Orion X2 is the most powerful consumer PC in the world. This dual system costs an eye-watering sum of nearly $50,000.
Famed overclocker Ian “8Pack” Parry built the system to blow every other system out of the water. He started with an Phanteks Enthoo Elite case and stuffed everything inside. In this system, buyers receive two machines crammed into one case with incredible liquid cooling.
The first system features an Intel Core i9-7980XE and three NVIDIA Titan GPUs (or three 2080Ti GPUs) for incredible performance.
On the other hand, the second system “only” features an Intel Core i7-9700K or i9-9900K paired with a single NVIDIA Titan.
A custom watercooling setup keeps the machine running at sustainable temperatures. Sure, the PC is complete overkill for the average person, but better performance isn’t available anywhere else.If you use this PC for a year you’re probably going to be broke
