Shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software with the worst of free software.
Linus Torvalds

Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
Bill Gates

So far, Indian companies have focused more on customer application. This needs to shift to packaged software for sectors such as banking and financial services.
Sanjay Kumar

So what I was essentially doing was, I compromised the confidentiality of their proprietary software to advance my agenda of becoming the best at breaking through the lock.
Kevin Mitnick

Software comes from heaven when you have good hardware.
Ken Olsen

Software development is technical activity conducted by human beings.
Niklaus Wirth

Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer.
Jamie Zawinski

Software is like entropy. It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing, and obeys the second law of thermodynamics; i.e. it always increases.
Norman Ralph Augustine

Software is like sex: it's better when it's free.
Linus Torvalds

The 1980s will seem like a walk in the park when compared to new global challenges, where annual productivity increases of 6% may not be enough. A combination of software, brains, and running harder will be needed to bring that percentage up to 8% or 9%.
Jack Welch

The challenge with Postfix, or with any piece of software, is to update software without introducing problems.
Wietse Venema

The days when you needed amazing Silicon Graphics machines to run animation software are gone now.
Dave Rowntree

The Postfix security model is based on keeping software simple and stupid.
Wietse Venema

The scanning of barcodes, or the reading of RFID transponders, generates data that is used in a software package to provide management or control information.
Mike Marsh

The software patent problem is not limited to Mono. Software patents affect everyone writing software today.
Miguel de Icaza

Then people started using it more and more and it became the most downloaded software on the internet.
Niklas Zennstrom

There is a lot of interest in the arts, music, theatre, filmmaking, engineering, architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy.
John Baldacci

There is no neat distinction between operating system software and the software that runs on top of it.
Jim Allchin

There is one major problem with anti-virus software: It needs updating. Users cannot be relied upon to have even the anti-virus software in the first place, let alone be able or willing to pay for the updates.
Glenn Turner

This will surprise some of your readers, but my primary interest is not with computer security. I am primarily interested in writing software that works as intended.
