History
TechSpot was initiated as a technology blog called 'Pure Rendition' which was dedicated to report news on the popular 3d accelerators based on the Rendition Verite graphics processor. Shortly after the site was renamed to '3D Spotlight'. In 2001 the site acquired the domain rights and was renamed to TechSpot, by then the website was receiving around 1 million visitors every month.
There is a screenshot gallery portraying some of the website's past designs, giving an outlook of Web design trends from the late 90s to the present.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
