Quotation of the Day for July 24, 2013



"I sometimes feel that my work over the past 20 or so years has been a failure. I have not been able to get funding and I have not been able to engage anybody in a dialogue."

- Doug Engelbart, computer pioneer, in a 2005 interview. Engelbart, who died recently, has been praised for his contributions to computing, but was ignored by Silicon Valley in recent years.
