Seattle Post-Intelligencer (from Business Insider; Washington, May 12) -- Whatever you do, don't ask Netscape co-founder and Illinois alumnus Eric Bina how he feels about inventing the browser ... or the Web ... or the Internet. If you do, he will adamantly respond that, although he made a contribution, he was certainly not responsible. Yet, despite Bina's protests, and the fact that he has retreated from public life (no interviews, no tech conference speeches, no personal blog) the world insists on honoring him. Just last month, he was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame. A few years before that, he was inducted into the U. of I. Engineering Hall of Fame, among other accolades.
