facts arguing entitled
You can’t argue with facts. You’re not entitled to your own facts.
fashion art interesting
The fact that biological, or "natural" rules might help in the creation of a computer generated work of art is interesting, but even a wonderful work of art made in this fashion isn't the same as a person, with all his or her experiences and emotions involved, making art.
technology artist computer
Computer technology is so built into our lives that it's part of the surround of every artist.
beautiful thinking ideas
I think that the most beautiful thing lately hasn't been in hardware or software per se but collaboration - the idea behind Napster, which uses the distributed power of the Internet as its engine.

At the core of Silicon Valley is a passion for 'yes.'
art computer
You can create art and beauty with a computer.
art yield race
The Hacker Ethic: Access to computers--and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works--should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative! All information should be free. Mistrust authority--promote decentralization. Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position. You can create art and beauty on a computer. Computers can change your life for the better.
baby ideas google

genius world gains
The world is poised on the cusp of an economic and cultural shift as dramatic as that of the Industrial Revolution. (OK, it doesn't take a genius, or even a politician, to figure out that big changes are afoot when we have a medium that lets someone throw up a virtual storefront on the Web and instantly gain access to the global market.)
folks proud work
The folks who work for these utilities are very proud of what they do.
