I am very happy about Android obviously. I use Android, and it's actually made cellphones very usable.

Software patents, in particular, are very ripe for abuse. The whole system encourages big corporations getting thousands and thousands of patents. Individuals almost never get them.

On a purely technical side, I'm really very happy with how Linux gets used in a very wide set of different areas. It's important for development.

C++ is in that inconvenient spot where it doesn't help make things simple enough to be truly usable for prototyping or simple GUI programming, and yet isn't the lean system programming language that C is that actively encourages you to use simple and direct constructs.

If you want an application to be portable, you don't necessarily create an abstraction layer like a microkernel so much as you program intelligently.

Before the commercial ventures, Linux tended to be rather hard to set up, because most of the developers were motivated mainly by their own interests.

I have an ego the size of a small planet.
