Linus Torvalds- The future of Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| In fifteen years, I expect somebody else to
| come along and say, hey, I can do everything
| that Linux can do but I can be lean and mean
| about it because my system won't have twenty
| years of baggage holding it back. They'll say
| Linux was designed for the 386 and the new
| CPUs are doing the really interesting things
| differently. Let's drop this old Linux stuff.
| This is essentially what I did when creating
| Linux. And in the future, they'll be able to
| look at our code, and use our interfaces, and
| provide binary compatibility, and if all that
| happens I'll be happy.

Web guru Tim Bray takes Google Android job
,----[ Quote ]
| Tim Bray--co-inventor of XML, notable tech
| blogger, and until recently a Sun
| Microsystems employee--has joined Google's
| Android team in part to show the world what
| he thinks is wrong with Apple's iPhone.
|
| The move puts a personal face on the
| cultural, technical, and business issues
| central to Silicon Valley companies. In a
| blog post titled "Now A No-Evil Zone," Bray
| said Monday he's in philosophical alignment
| with Google in general and in opposition to
| Apple's iPhone specifically.
|
| [...]
|
| Google in some areas is allied with Apple,
| but with Android increasingly is in
| competition. Google Chief Executive Eric
| Schmidt resigned from Apple's board in 2009.
| And in March, Apple sued handset maker HTC
| for patent infringement, a move that has
| repercussions for Google since HTC builds its
| Nexus One and other Android phones.
