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

“A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”   Maya Angelou

The Universe is made of stories, not of atoms.

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.)

“You don't die of a broken heart, you only wish you did.”

A mistake is simply another way of doing things.
                                                                                           --  Katharine Graham

“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.)

Every Breath You Take (The Police)

Sung by The Police on the band's 1983 album Synchronicity, written by Sting and Andy Summers, this was one of the biggest hits of 1983, topping the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for eight weeks and the UK Singles Chart for four weeks. It also topped the Billboard Top Tracks chart for nine weeks. 

Sting won "Song of the Year" and The Police won "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal" at the Grammy Awards of 1984 for "Every Breath You Take". The song ranked No. 84 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and No. 25 on Billboard's Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs. This song is considered to be The Police's signature song, and in 2010 was estimated to generate between a quarter and a third of Sting's music publishing income.  (source: en.wikipedia.org)

Lyrics:
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

I keep crying baby, baby, please

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Every move you make, every step you take

I'll be watching you
(Every move you make, every vow you break)

I'll be watching you
(Every move you make, every vow you break)
(Every smile you fake, every claim you stake)
I'll be watching you
