From Bill Gates to Janet Reno, everybody has something to say about computers and technology. This page has a lot of quotes. Some of my favorites:
Anyone who puts a small gloss on a fundamental technology, calls it proprietary, and then tries to keep others from building on it, is a thief. (Tim O'Reilly)
I've noticed lately that the paranoid fear of computers becoming intelligent and taking over the world has almost entirely disappeared from the common culture. Near as I can tell, this coincides with the release of MS-DOS. (Larry DeLuca)
Adequacy is sufficient. (Adam Osborne)

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.

"If MacDonalds were run like a software company, one out of every hundred Big Macs would give you food poisoning -- and the response would be, 'We're sorry, here's a coupon for two more'. (Mark Minasi)"
Gee. I wonder who he had in mind when he said that? Of course, one out of every hundred sounds low. How about 25 or 30 out of every hundred?
