"the solution is not revolution but evolution"

'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'

Applications should be the means to an end - not the end itself.

The Lasso of truth is a weapon used by the DC Comics super-heroine Wonder Woman. It was forged by the Gods.The Lasso forces anyone held by it to tell and understand the absolute truth. (They say even Hercules cannot overcome it.)

Lasso of truth,  that is something which all (wonder) women have. Yeah, that is true in non-fictional world too. And I also believe it to be very metaphoric. I have met such (wonder) woman who used their lasso of truth and I spoke the truth by myself (even though I was trying to stop myself from blurting out the matter.)

“Maybe...you'll fall in love with me all over again."
"Hell," I said, "I love you enough now. What do you want to do? Ruin me?"
"Yes. I want to ruin you."
"Good," I said. "That's what I want too.”

Karate-Do

"Karate-do may be referred to as the conflict within yourself, or a life-long marathon which can be won only through self-discipline, hard training, and your own creative efforts."   -- Shoshin Nagamine

It is the tiny bits of act/things concerning us which our friends do, that is indicative of how they value us.

For Desktops: Mouse will rule over other pointing devices

I don't think any pointing device  touchscreen or motion sensors could surpass the simplicity and ease of computer mouse. Using a mouse requires minimal movement of hands and fingers, you can rest you palm even while you move your mouse. So over a prolonged use, mouse should be more comfortable. The options like touchscreen and motion sensors will never replace the mouse for desktops, touchscreens are definitely better for hand-held devices but when it comes to desktop nothing beats the simple mouse.

(ps: Mouse technology has also evolved over time , ball --> optical --> laser technology.)
