In Mark Gurman's newsletter, he mentions that a computer with the model identifier "Mac 15,12" is currently in testing. However, whether this computer is a Mac Mini or not is a speculation on his part. Ada Lovelace, computer pioneer Ada Augusta King, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852) is credited for creating one of the first published computer algorithms. While the program was never really tested since Babbage failed to complete the machine, and some have criticized her actual role in the development of computer programming considering Babbage himself had developed his own programs, it was believed that she saw the potential of the Analytical Engine to conduct operations beyond numbers. Nonetheless, recent attempts such as those done by Jim Randell and Sinclair Target went on to run her program using modern computers. Both found what could be considered as early computer bugs, although their analysis assume that they might have been typos rather than errors in Lovelace's original programming. The Mark I is an electromechanical computer which began computing operations for the US Navy Bureau of Ships in 1944. Her later work on FLOW-MATIC, the programming language used for the electronic Universal Automatic Computer I (UNIVAC I), is believed to have contributed in the creation of common business-oriented language (COBOL) in 1959.
