Am I an Apple bigot? No. I can critique their products and their customer service philosophy. But overall, they do better than any other player.
People thought I was very pro-computer. I was on the cover of 'Wired' magazine. Then things began to change. In the early '80s, we met this technology and became smitten like young lovers. But today our attachment is unhealthy.
Browbeating the tech industry for a problem that does not exist also draws attention away from the real problems with Google and other tech companies.
I can't say that I like MicroSoft: I think they make rather bad operating systems - Windows NT is just more of the same - but while I dislike their operating systems and abhor their tactics in the marketplace I at the same time don't really care all that much about them.
There are people who don't like capitalism, and people who don't like PCs. But there's no-one who likes the PC who doesn't like Microsoft.
Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom, has died.
Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can't stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.
I have been a member of the Microsoft-bashing society for quite some time.
I'm never fully satisfied with any Microsoft product.
I don't want to tell a story about how technological advancement is bad.
My hate of Apple has moved into a hate of Facebook.
New iPod. It looks like an iPhone but it can't make phone calls. So its really just an iPhone.
The only people who don’t love apps are pundits who don’t understand that apps aren’t really in opposition to the open Internet. They’re just superior clients to open Internet services.
I think HTML5 is one area where Mozilla has done very poorly at actually communicating what we have done.
I can't stand Snapchat, but that will be extinct before it is relevant.
Object-oriented programming is an exceptionally bad idea which could only have originated in California.
That's the thing about people who think they hate computers. What they really hate is lousy programmers.
You get a lot of apps and companies that are trying to sell you on something that's totally useless or potentially unhealthy. Only occasionally does something really worthwhile really come out.
I appreciate all the devices the Windows people are coming up with, but the operating system... I just want to smash it.
The iPod Touch is basically an iPhone with the phone part taken out, which is fine - since making calls is the one thing that the iPhone doesn't actually do very well.
I have to admit it: I'm not a huge fan of the cloud computing concept.
In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems.
I hate the iPhone. I love the BlackBerry - BlackBerry wins in my opinion. The iPhone is a toy.
PCs don't suck. They're inadequate.
I'm often saddened and dismayed to see myself portrayed as either a Luddite or as a raving technophile. I've always thought that my job was to be as anthropologically neutral about emerging technologies as possible.
