it is our job to take this vision in a more cleaner way ... to make computing more affordable and relilable ... to make lif e a lot more easir by improving the interfaces to computers an making them more useful to common man without putting any efforts in learning...
it is high time to grow above all the flame wars and hate mails rather focus on delivering good software for people to use. ....
