“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
“The meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come.

“Art is ruled uniquely by the imagination. Images are it's only wealth. It does not classify objects, it does not pronounce them real or imaginary, does not qualify them does not define them; it feels and presents them.” FeelsDoeArtRealImaginationWealthObjectsArt IsImaginary Author:Benedetto Croce
“An echo is a good way to describe the photogram, which is a visual echo of the real object. That's why I like to work with the photogram, because the contact with what is represented is actual.

“At one point I felt a tension between objects, their real, physical lives, and the idea of meaning: the physical, material reality of a book, and the totally intangible experience of reading it.” BookIdeasRealRealityReadingFeltObjectsMaterialsTensionIntangible Author:Sergio Chejfec

“If you hand an adult a lump of clay, they're likely to respond by fashioning something representative out of the raw material. For the most part, they'll simply forge an object that signifies something "real" in the world, even if that something is as abstract as an emotion or an energy. A child, on the other hand, will just as often produce something totally without semiotic meaning, a shape or a mass that represents nothing that exists outside of their imagination. Or else, they'll eat it or throw it or ignore it, wholesale.” IfsWorldChildrenRealHandsEnergyImaginationEmotionObjectsProduceMaterialsShapesMassAdultsAbstractRepresentativesClayLumpsRaw MaterialsWholesaleSomething RealSemiotics Author:Keith Murray
“Were money no object, we could have a dedicated door-opener-and-closer on all trains. But in the real world, train drivers in different countries have a wide range of responsibilities.

“The identifying personal association with objects, which are not personal, is an important modern experience - our real association, the strands of our feelings about the objects that surround us. It's also because they are so familiar, we don't think of them as important in the world, but actually they are the world. We are living in a very material world.” ThinkingWorldImportantRealFeelingsModernObjectsMaterialsFamiliarSurroundAssociationIdentifyingStrandsMaterial World Author:Michael Craig-Martin

“To someone like Zurbaran, who paints still lifes, lemons and pears are the objects of art.
