About:

• "Andy giveth, and Bill taketh away"
  • Source: Unknown.
  • Notes: Refers to the tendency for processors to get more powerful, but for software to become more complex thus negating much of the benefit. "Bill", of course, refers to Bill Gates.

• "PCMCIA - People can't memorize computer industries acronyms'
  • Notes: Obviously not happy with the spreading acronym culture in the computer business.

Quotes:

"I think it is very important for you to do two things: act on your temporary conviction as if it was a real conviction; and when you realize that you are wrong, correct course very quickly …. And try not to get too depressed in the part of the journey, because there’s a professional responsibility. If you are depressed, you can’t motivate your staff to extraordinary measures. So you have to keep your own spirits up even though you well understand that you don’t know what you’re doing." Source: Guy Kawasaki Blog"
