  • Bill gates & Paul Allen started a company called Traf-O-Data to monitor traffic flow.

  • Tetris has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, since it began in 1982

And also:

In 1945 a computer at Harvard malfunctioned and Grace Hopper, who was working on the computer, investigated, found a moth in one of the circuits and removed it. Ever since, when something goes wrong with a computer, it is said to have a bug in it.
