On January 24, 1984, Apple launched the Macintosh, the first commercially successful personal computer with a graphical user interface and mouse. The launch was accompanied by the legendary "1984" television advertisement directed by Ridley Scott. The Mac democratised personal computing and established the paradigm of the windowed, icon-based computer we use to this day.
On January 24, 1848, carpenter James Marshall discovered gold nuggets at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California. The news, which was initially kept secret, spread like wildfire and triggered the California Gold Rush. Within two years, California's population grew from 14,000 to 220,000, accelerating its admission as an American state.
On January 24, AD 41, Roman Emperor Caligula was assassinated by officers of the Praetorian Guard on the Palatine Hill in Rome, after four years of reign marked by cruelty, megalomania and extravagance. It was the first assassination of a Roman emperor. He was succeeded by his uncle Claudius, who was initially proclaimed by the Praetorians themselves.
