Shiva Ayyadurai, the Man Who Invented Email, Seeks to Unseat Senator Elizabeth Warren in 2018
Brietbart ^ | 07/03/2017 | ADELLE NAZARIAN

Posted on 07/04/2017 9:03:41 PM PDT by MaxistheBest

Shiva Ayyadurai, the man who is credited with inventing email among several other life-improving creations such as EchoMail, Systems Health, and CytoSolve, has announced that he is challenging Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for her seat in the 2018 elections. “I consider myself an embodiment of the American dream: an all-American Indian,” Ayyadurai told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview shortly after he launched his campaign.

He went on to say, “Massachusetts ignited the American Revolution. Now, we need to fight for the American dream. That victory will only be possible if we dialogue and educate each other to solve problems, together, as Americans.”

-----------------------------------------------

He criticized Warren for her divisive and irrational approach, which he said, “…is leading us nowhere. My whole life has been about fighting for the truth while creating tangible solutions to real problems across the fields of communication, health, education, governance and commerce.”

-------------------------------------------------

He had never registered to vote until last year, when he voted for Trump. “I saw Trump as a necessary force to disrupt a broken system that was no longer serving the American people,” he told Breitbart News

----------------------------------------------------

Ayyadurai said:

These same people would not talk about the poor whites and the poor blacks in this country. It was like these elite hippies who were MIT students [found it] easier to talk about things 10,000 miles away. Many of these students were afraid to go to poor neighborhoods right in Boston. It’s easy for them to take pictures of themselves doing “missionary” work 10,000 miles away to make themselves feel better.

But, he said, they wouldn’t “get their hands dirty by going to neighborhoods like Dorchester and Roxbury, two predominantly black communities right in Massachusetts.”

Yep, an Indian Con Job.
Google “Vinod Dham” and it will say “Father of the Pentium”

In reality he was head of Pentium marketing and not on the design team.
He was fired for covering up the Pentium Flaw to Executive Staff at Intel.

This guy credits himself with inventing email and does so quite vigorously - but the reality is that he didn't.

Jon Postel invented email in 1982:

no patent because it was done in the public domain

working at the University of Medicine and Dentistry New Jersey wrote over 50,000 lines of code to invent the world’s first full-scale electronic emulation of the interoffice, inter-organizational mail system consisting of: Inbox, Outbox, Folders, the Memo, Attachments, etc., naming the program “email,” defining email as we all experience today, for which he received the first Copyright for “Email,” in 1982, from the United States government, officially recognizing him as the inventor of email.

“The Man Who Invented Email”? That claim is a fraud. And an easily provable one.

Hey, if he can get Lie-a-watha out of the Senate, he can claim to have invented a cure for the common cold and I don't know that I'd care.

If I refused to vote for every politician who exaggerated about an accomplishment, I would have the cleanest ballot ever submitted.

“Shiva Ayyadurai, the man who is credited with inventing email”

GAWKER MEDIA PAYS DR. SHIVA AYYADURAI, INVENTOR OF EMAIL,
$750,000 SETTLEMENT

DR. AYYADURAI FILES NEW LAWSUIT AGAINST TECHDIRT.COM

Boston, MA - Gawker Media has paid Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai a $750,000 settlement payment and later this month will permanently remove its libelous article about him, which denied Dr. Ayyadurai’s invention of email.

Victory over Gawker Media
“This is a historic victory for truth,” declared Dr. Ayyadurai. “Americans have no tolerance for fake news, lies or cyberbullying. A 14-year old kid working in Newark, New Jersey in 1978 invented email. This settlement honors that innovation.”

There is no reasonable dispute that Dr. Ayyadurai is the inventor of email. The full press kit contains more than 20 testimonials from leading technology experts and numerous Ph.Ds. The press kit also includes two extensive research papers prepared by well-respected academic university professors and scientists explaining why Dr. Ayyadurai is the inventor of email, and how the few doubters are wrong.

New Lawsuit against TechDirt.com
On January 4, 2017, Dr. Ayyadurai filed a new lawsuit against TechDirt.com for defaming him in 14 different articles published from September 2014 through November 2016. Dr. Ayyadurai seeks a minimum of $15 million in damages in the new lawsuit.

Anyone old enough to have allegedly invented email would have a head of completely white hair by now...

Title: Origin of Email & Misuses of the Term “Email”
Authors: D. Nightingale, S. Song, L.P. Michelson, R. Field

Summary:
This research paper provides the facts about email’s origin from Newark, New Jersey in 1978 and exposes, point by point, with detailed primary references, the fake news and lies spread by the so-called “internet pioneers and historians” who have a vested interest in perpetuating the following myths about email’s origin.

Twelve of those and myths are exposed:

#1: “Email” was created on the ARPANET
#2: Ray Tomlinson Invented “Email” and Sent the First Email
#3: Use of the “@” Symbol Equals the Invention of Email
#4: RFCs Demonstrate “Email” Existed Prior To 1978
#5: Programs For Exchanging Messages Were “Email”
#6: Mail On CTSS Developed In 1960’s Was “Email”
#7: In 2012, the Term “Email” Now Needs To Be Defined
#8: “Email” Is Not An Invention, But VisiCalc Is An Invention
#9: Dec And Wang Created “Email”
#10: Laurel Was “Email”
#11: The Term “Email” Belongs To Compuserve
#12: “Email” Has No Single Inventor

FACT #4
Ray Tomlinson Didn’t Invent Email.
What Did He Actually and Factually Do?

Ray Tomlinson modified a pre-existing program called SNDMSG. SNDMSG was not created by Tomlinson. Even before Tomlinson’s modification to SNDMSG, SNDMSG allowed a user connected to a local computer to append text to an electronic file located on that same local computer. Tomlinson’s modification to SNDMSG involved copying code from another pre-existing program called CPYNET into the SNDMSG program. CPYNET was a file transfer protocol, which Tomlinson also did not create. Tomlinson’s modification allowed a user connected on a local computer to append text to an electronic file located on a remote computer.

This modified version of SNDMSG, like the original SNDMSG, still required the user to have knowledge of cryptic commands, mainly accessible to highly trained technical people, to achieve even this modest result. John Vittal, one of Tomlinson’s contemporaries and another “internet pioneer,” unequivocally described these early simple systems as rudimentary and incomplete:
“The very simple systems [including] SNDMSG... did not integrate the reading and creation functions, had different user interfaces, and did not provide sufficient functionality for simple message processing.” [John Vittal, 1981]

At best, what Tomlinson “invented,” was a “caveman Reddit.” Tomlinson, by his own admission, said his modification was a “no brainer.” Fourteen-year-old Shiva Ayyadurai, in contrast, wrote 50,000 lines of original software code that implemented numerous features and functions to replicate the entire interoffice mail system, with a very easy-to-use-interface enabling anyone to use the system. This is email -— the email we all know and experience today.

This is not to say that someone else would not have created email, given the march of technology history to integrate computing with office automation. However, the fact remains, Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai was the first to do it. The conflation of Tomlinson’s modification to SNDMSG as “email,” is a deliberate marketing campaign to enhance the brand value and reputation of Tomlinson’s employer, Raytheon/BBN, in the lucrative cybersecurity market (see below).

The man who invented email, indeed.

It’s a free country. If Whitey Warren can claim she’s an American Indian, then East Indian Ayyadurai can claim he invented email. And I can claim I’m the Man in the Moon. But I wouldn’t use that claim as the basis of running for political office.

“I used email in the 70’s. It goes back to the 60’s”

How could you have if the protocols weren’t developed until the 80’s

“Jon Postel invented email in 1982:”

Shiva did all his work in the late 70’s.

Sounds like Shiva created the first email application (client) which is not the same as mail protocols. But I could be wrong.
