Quoting from the cover page of TIME, 18 August 1997:
"Bill, thank you. The world's a better place"
- Steve Jobs talking to Bill Gates by cell phone last week about
saving Apple.
My god.
I don't know if I should laugh or if I should cry.
My "stream of consciousness" :-) about it:
- George Orwell's 1984. How long do we have to wait? 2004 ?
- Phil Zimmermann's PGP. Thanks Phil for your battle. I'm afraid we
will need it. Yes, I know, european countries (I'm from Italy) are
inventing things as dumb (or should I use another adjective?) as the
US Clipper.
Hmmm, maybe I just had a nightmare. I hope I'll wake up soon in a
sunny world where the only Big Brother is the network utility
