Bill Gates
When Ford sells a car, a dealer isn't allowed to take out the engine and put a different one in. When a newsstand sells the Washington Post, no one can go to the newsstand and pay them to rip out the classified section and put their own classified section in - if they could, they would do so.
Bill Gates
Microsoft Research has a thing called the Sense Cam that, as you walk around, it's taking photos all the time.

You just have that, and software helps you pick what you want.
Bill Gates
