Huge Blow to Al Gore -- [The Real] Web inventor wins major new technology prize

2004-04-15

The inventor of the worldwide web, Tim Berners-Lee of Britain, was awarded the first Millennium Technology Prize worth one million euro ($A1.63 million), the jury said. Berners-Lee created the first server, browser, and protocols central to the operation of the web: the URL address, HTTP transmission protocol and HTML code. In 2003, he was named a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his pioneering work.

This competition for invention of the WWW (from some unknown upstart, no less) will probably cause a new fact-~~distorting~~finding commission to be launched.
