Steve Jobs Quote
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would i want to do what i am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something… almost everything – all external expectations,all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to loose.
Steve Jobs, college dropout and CEO of Apple Computer, Stanford University Commencement, 2005
Herbert Simon Quote
What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.
– Herbert Simon, Recipient of Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics and the A.M. Turing Award, The “Nobel Prize of Computer Science”

Open Source Quote
This quote was found on the first post of this Zenoss forum. It was written by user ‘bithajcsar’.
Open source in general, is only for those, who do not have any serious responsibility.
Now, I do feel that I should express that I love the idea of Open Source, and I think very highly of enthusiastic open source programers. But, their is a reason why open source is not as widely used.
