“Steve Jobs did not start started Apple as a scam. But he understood early on the power of marketing. The idea of the computer as a bicycle for the human mind - I think that was something he believed.

“I've always loved animation it's the reason why I do what I do for a living - the films of Walt Disney. This art form is so spectacular and beautiful. And I never quite understood the feeling amongst animation studios that audiences today only wanted to see computer animation.

It's about how good the movie is.” ArtMadeReasonStoriesFeelingsTodayWantedBeautifulFilmFormAudienceComputerUnderstoodStudiosMediumsReason WhyNever QuitAnimationSpectacularWaltComputer Animation Author:John Lasseter

“The idea that hardware on networks should just be caches for movable process descriptions and the processes themselves goes back quite a ways. There's a real sense in which MS and Apple never understood networking or operating systems (or what objects really are), and when they decided to beef up their OSs, they went to (different) very old bad mainframe models of OS design to try to adapt to personal computers.” WayShouldTryingIdeasDifferentRealProcessDesignObjectsComputerModelsUnderstoodDecidedApplesDescriptionNetworkingBeefHardwareOperating SystemsPersonal ComputersCacheMainframe Author:Alan Kay
