Quotes About Computing

There's going to be a symbiotic relationship between the edge and the cloud.
~ Peter Levine
The number of queries in a large dataset is exponential, and it's growing exponentially. No matter how fast you make your system, you're never going to be able to get all that information.
~ Gurjeet Singh
Linux has never been about quality. There are so many parts of the system that are just these cheap little hacks, and it happens to run.
~ Theo de Raadt

~ Frans van Houten
The inside of a computer is as dumb as hell but it goes like mad!
~ Richard Feynman
computers are now often an essential component of a good design.
~ Richard Hamming
The IBM equipment arrived early in April 1944 and the Theoretical Division immediately put it to good use running brute-force implosion numbers.
~ Richard Rhodes
I think computing power is ready to do 3D justice. It was great for shooters and racing games in the past, but I didn't think it was right for strategy games.
~ Sid Meier
Every one of today's smartphones has thousands of times more processing power than the computers that guided astronauts to the moon.
~ Peter Thiel
Before the computer, the animals, mortal though not sentient, seemed our nearest neighbors in the known universe. Computers, with their interactivity, their psychology, with whatever fragments of intelligence they have, now bid for this place.9 The
~ David N.L. Levy
Microsoft has a division that studies the way people work, to develop efficiency-improving software. (According to Microsoft's research up to 2007, if you're looking for a technological solution to being more efficient, getting a bigger computer screen is one of the few clear winners.)
~ David Rock

One reason you should not use web applications to do your computing is that you lose control. It's just as bad as using a proprietary program. Do your own computing on your own computer with your copy of a freedom-respecting program. If you use a proprietary program or somebody else's web server, you're defenceless.
~ Richard Stallman
The Internet is a computing platform built on top of core technology. Applied technology is what gets built on top of that: It's Web services.
