[QUOTE]
"In order for the number of transistors to go up, the size of each
individual element has to go down, in a way that's proportional to
size. So since 1976, we have gone from printing stuff the size of a
bacterium to stuff the size of a virus. We must continue down this road
to sustain the growth of the industry."
--Grant Willson

[QUOTE]
"Was the era of corporate proprietary culture with one-to-many
distribution an historical blip we dealt with for an 80-year period, and
we're now getting back with how people have always dealt with each
other? Isn't remix culture just culture?"
--Siva Vaidhyanathan
