On the occasion of the 100th birth anniversary of Alan Turing, a pioneer in the field of computing, we take a look back at computers. Image: 1929: Inside the tote room at Ascot race course showing the tote machines. The first combined computer-calculator and wristwatch to be produced, known as 'Pulsar', on show at the International Watch and Jewellery Trades Fair at Wembley, London. 1955: Rev Ellison, technical consultant on the Univac project working on a control panel which gives direct access to Univac. This allows him to see exactly how the indexing is progressing and to check it with the bible he is holding.

Alan Turing Google doodle is the toughest yet New Delhi: The Alan Turing doodle that Google posted on the occasion of British mathematician and the father of computing's 100th birth anniversary is easily the most cryptic Google doodle till date. Google has brought to digital life one of Turing's incredible work (and an eventful life that ended in tragedy), the theoretical Turing machine that he proposed in a mathematical paper. This Turing machine doodle, unlike most other doodles...

Who was Alan Turing? New Delhi: The doodle on the Google home page on Saturday features a Turin machine, a device used to simulate the logic of a computer algorithm and is helpful in explaining the functioning of a CPU. The doodle is an interactive doodle that requires users to break a set of six codes and each successful code break adds colour to a letter of the greyed out Google logo on doodle....
