We are splintering what was the ‘camera’ and its functionality – lens, sensors, and processing – into distinct parts, but, instead of lenses and shutters, software and algorithms are becoming the driving force.
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.

Open source production has shown us that world-class software, like Linux and Mozilla, can be created with neither the bureaucratic structure of the firm nor the incentives of the marketplace as we’ve known them.
‘Authoring tools’ are terrible; there is almost no software that can create closed captions for media players. And of course there is no training. TV captioning is bad enough, and this stuff is generally worse.

Software patents are dangerous to software developers because they impose monopolies on software ideas.
Certainly there’s a phenomenon around open source. You know free software will be a vibrant area. There will be a lot of neat things that get done there.
Software is like entropy. It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing, and obeys the second law of thermodynamics; i.e. it always increases.
Software is eating the world, but AI is going to eat software.
Many people think that being a graphic designer means going to an expensive art school and buying expensive software that will cost you thousands of dollars. This is so far from the truth. There are hundreds of online education centers that offer top-notch graphic design training.
Early versions of Microsoft Word left a lot to be desired. However, to the company’s credit, it quickly learned where Word fell short, made the necessary changes, and repeatedly introduced new versions of the software.
We’re entering a new world in which data may be more important than software.
As the web becomes more and more of a part of our every day lives, it would be a horrible tragedy if it was locked up inside of companies and proprietary software.
Technology can be part of a solution, but it takes far more than software to usher in reform.
Software comes from heaven when you have good hardware.
From day one our next generation system will run all our exsisting software – so that gives us a head start.
I think that we have been able to demonstrate that we cannot just consume software, that we can create software that can be used all over the world, that we have that kind of talent in Africa.
My first job after college was at Magic Quest, an educational software startup company where I was responsible for writing the content. I found that job somewhat accidentally but after working there a few weeks and loving my job, I decided to pursue a career in technology.
The iPhone was the first phone that brought what we used to think of as ‘desktop quality’ software to a handheld platform: software where you just say, ‘Wow, that’s a great user experience,’ not merely, ‘Wow, that’s a great user experience for a handheld.’
This will surprise some of your readers, but my primary interest is not with computer security. I am primarily interested in writing software that works as intended.
I did software development for a while, and I also spent several years directing a nonprofit in San Francisco that did computer education for the poor. I also did a lot of work in fast food.
Software development is technical activity conducted by human beings.
The methodologies and best practices used to develop software can be applied successfully to any challenge in life.
A geek is a guy who has everything going for him but he’s just too young. He’s got the software but he doesn’t have the hardware yet.
The rest of the world may devour Japanese hardware – from Honda Civics to Sony Walkmans – but Japanese software, such as books, movies and recordings, has had little impact outside Japan. The exception is video games.
Unlike 4G and previous generations of technology, 5G is very different. It is not just about radio. In fact, it stands across the full network from mobile access to cloud core, from software-defined networking to all forms of backhaul, front haul, IP routing, fixed networks, software, and more.
I founded an educational software company called Knowledge Revolution. We had the first fully animated physics lab on the computer. You could take ropes, pulleys, balls and anything else you’d use in your physics textbook and the program would allow you to build anything you can think of in a physics lab.
I stay up night after night looking at new software, seeing new trends, what music’s happening you know you’ve just got stay constantly connected and that’s just something that I do and I think is really important.
Interactive computers and software will, I think, provide a less costly method of doing some kinds of inquiry, in knowledge acquisition and even reasoning and interaction.
First, we want to have a direct relationship with our customers wherever we can. On open platforms like PC and Android, it’s possible for them to get the software direct from us. We can be in contact with them and not have a third-party distributor in between.

We’re entering a new world in which data may be more important than software.
My parents had a software company making children’s software for the Apple II+, Commodore 64 and Acorn computers. They hired these teenagers to program the software, and these guys were true hackers, trying to get more colors and sound and animation out of those computers.
The industries that fall first are the industries that either produce electromechanical items that are now inferior to their software substitutes, or the industries that produce a mechanically created service that’s now inferior.
In open-source in general, the power lies in connecting the author of the software directly to users, eliminating the middleman.
Over the next 10 years, I expect many more industries to be disrupted by software, with new world-beating Silicon Valley companies doing the disruption in more cases than not.
As software engineers trained to turn ambiguity into absolutes and fuzzy requirements into ones and zeros, we had a ‘eureka’ moment when we realized that our training had broader, real-world applications.
My best decision was to choose to go to Wall Street over law. I learned a lot and focused on the expanding software industry at a time when the independent software industry was just beginning.
Software tends not to kill people, and so we accept incredibly fast innovation loops because the consequences are tolerable and the results are astonishing.
