	Smalltalk Creator Wins 'Nobel Prize' of Computing
		Kay said he was happy to receive the award, especially since most of his personal heroes have already made the roster.
		The award is named for Dr. Alan Turing, the British mathematician who is most famously known for the "Turing Machine," an abstract logic exercise published by Turing in the mid-1930s to describe a mechanical device taking information in a systematic way.
		In 1979, a little-known entrepreneur named Steve Jobs was touring the PARC facility and saw the "windowing GUI" Kay's team had been working on and immediately used it as the basis of the mouse with Apple Macintosh, which in turn led to the genesis of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

		Having read Kay and about Kay, I have a feeling that hearing his Turing Award lecture is going to make quite a few people squeak, not all of them with joy...
		One important reason for awarding Kay the Turing prize is his continued attempts to make programming accessible to non-programmers.
