Alan Turing finally gets an apology and recognition from the British government
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has now apologised for how he was dealt with in the 1950s.
He said that "on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan's work I am very proud to say: we're sorry, you deserved so much better."

If you've ever wondered where the Turing Test came from or how the Allies broke the Enigma machine ... it's due in large part to the work and mind of one man: Alan Turing.
Oh and these computation devices probably wouldn't be here either. Just saying.
