Quotes About Computing

Immersion was founded in 1993 with the mission of bringing the sense of touch to computing. Our technology, TouchSense, is embedded in computer peripheral devices and allows users to reach in and physically interact with content on their computer screens.

I am not the only person who uses his computer mainly for the purpose of diddling with his computer.

Is everyone who uses a MacBook Pro a pro? No. It's just basically a faster Mac. And certainly, pros do use them, partly for that reason.

Without a computer, every point on a structure has to be calculated with reference to everything else. But by using a PC, I can create complex curves that don't have radii or centers.

Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters - all connected to the next-generation internet using abundant, low-cost, and high-power computing.

The utility model of computing - computing resources delivered over the network in much the same way that electricity or telephone service reaches our homes and offices today - makes more sense than ever.

If you could utilize the resources of the end users' computers, you could do things much more efficiently.

Of all the inventions of humans, the computer is going to rank near or at the top as history unfolds and we look back. It is the most awesome tool that we have ever invented. I feel incredibly lucky to be at exactly the right place in Silicon Valley, at exactly the right time, historically, where this invention has taken form.

There's a role for the Mac as far as our eye can see. A role in conjunction with smartphones and tablets that allows you to make the choice of what you want to use. Our view is, the Mac keeps going forever, because the differences it brings are really valuable.

The value of having a computer, to me, is that it'll remember everything you do. It's a databank.

For those who wish to stay and work in computer science or technology, fields badly in need of their services, let's roll out the welcome mat.

It is easy to sympathize with the MIS staffs around the world, I mean who hasn't lost work due to Windows or a Microsoft application crashing?

With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.

At VMware, we did the virtualization, which is now used extensively across the cloud. Virtualization layers - and containers - are what facilitated the cloud originally.

Alan Turing, to me, always felt like an outsider's outsider.

Cloud computing is a challenge to security, but one that can be overcome.

The Machine will reinvent the fundamental architecture of computers to enable a quantum leap in performance and efficiency, while lowering costs over the long term and improving security.

It became apparent that communications and computing served each other so intimately that they might actually become the same thing;

Programmers have a saying: garbage in, garbage out.

Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.

I am not the only person who uses his computer mainly for the purpose of diddling with his computer.

Alan Turing appears to be becoming a symbol of the shift towards computing, not least because of his attitude of open-minded defiance of convention and conventional thinking. Not only did he conceptualise the modern computer – imagining a simple machine that could use different programmes – but he put his thinking into practice in the great code breaking struggle with the Nazis in World War II, and followed it up with pioneering early work in the mathematics of biology and chaos.

Most real-world computer programs, however, are significantly asynchronous. This means that they often have to stop computing while waiting for data to arrive or for some event to occur.

1962 that "No data processing system, whether artificial or living, can process more than 2 × 1047 bits per second per gram of its mass," which means that a hypothetical supercomputer the size of the earth (= c. 6 × 1027 grams) grinding away for as long as the earth has existed (= about 1010 years, with c. 3.14 × 107 seconds/year) can have processed at most 2.56 × 2092 bits, which number is known as Bremermann's Limit.
