The best computer scientists are...technologists who crave beauty.

If this is the information age, what are we so well-informed about?

For years, computer scientists were treating operating systems design as sort of an open-reserch issue, when the field's direction had been decided by commercial operations. Computer science has become completely cut off from reality.
