Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading manuals without the software.
Arthur C. Clarke

Red Carpet Enterprise has been really well received since one guy can install it in about an hour, and it makes it trivial to deal with software management issues like deploying updates and creating standard package sets for your various machines.
Nat Friedman

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.

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 engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof.
Steve Jobs

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.

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.
