Bill Moggridge, a British industrial designer who designed an early portable computer with the flip-open shape that is common today, has died. He was 69, according to The Assocaited Press. Moggridge is credited with the design of the Grid Compass, a computer that had a keyboard and yellow-on-black display. It was used by the US military and made its way into outer space aboard the space shuttle Discovery in 1985. The Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum said Moggridge, its director since 2010, died on Saturday after a battle with cancer.
