During a recent discussion:
Alipe: Linux is a small percentage of the market.
Joby: But those are often the linux geeks, who know all about computers and will advise their friends on what the cool new apps are.
Alipe: Does anyone listen to the linux geeks?
Joby: Sure, just not to the religious ones.
[Pause.]
Alipe: Is there another kind?
At lunch last month:
Sasha: You know what would be cool? If I wore a low-res camera headpiece all the time that piped video to my computer, so that I could search it later.
Billy: How is that going to capture things like whiteboard diagrams that you really want to remember?
Sasha: I'll put a soft button on the side of the camera. If I press it, it'll take a high-res photograph.
Billy: Okay. What if you go to the bathroom and want to shut off the camera while you're in there?
Sasha: I'll put another button to pause recording in the bathroom. Though ... If the two buttons are close to each other, I might accidentally press the button that takes a high-res photo.
Me: [laughing]
Billy: How is your product going to differ from the much-maligned DARPA project LifeLog?
Sasha: [without skipping a beat] Mine won't be maligned.
