Hearing is set to start in moments.

Jack Tramiel wanted a new 64-kilobyte home computer in time for CES in January '82. He notified his engineers of this in late November, 1981. In their own words, the developers talk about the design sprint that followed created the world's best selling home computer.

HR 9495, if passed, would have allowed the Secretary of the Treasury to label any U.S. non-profit as aiding terrorist organizations without any evidence or investigation.
