More quotes by Cory Doctorow
... the Kindle is a roach motel device: its license terms and DRM ensure that books can check in, but they can't check out.
Cory Doctorow
Right, and you point out something important which is that people who don’t want to pay, people who are pirates, don’t get bothered by the DRM, they go out and buy the cracked books or download the cracked books for free. It’s only people who are foolish enough to pay for them that get locked into these platforms.
Cory Doctorow
Engineers are all basically high-functioning autistics who have no idea how normal people do stuff.
Cory Doctorow
I choose YouTube over telly.
Cory Doctorow
The important thing about security systems isn’t how they work, it’s how they fail.
Cory Doctorow
Abnormal is so common, it's practically normal.
Cory Doctorow
Write even when the world is chaotic. You don’t need a cigarette, silence, music, a comfortable chair, or inner peace to write. You just need ten minutes and a writing implement.
Cory Doctorow
When you teach your students that it's economically rational to commit crimes where the fines for misconduct are lower than the expected return on the crime, you instill a professional ethic that has no room for morals.
Cory Doctorow
Each generation of rabbis is necessarily less perfect than the rabbis that came before, since each generation is more removed from the perfection of the Garden. Therefore, no rabbi is allowed to overturn any of his forebears' wisdom, since they are all, by definition, smarter than him.
Cory Doctorow
Terrorism is about magnifying one mediagenic act of violence into one hundred billion acts of terrorized authoritarian idiocy.
Cory Doctorow
It's hard not to like Asimov he's a really likable guy.
Cory Doctorow
Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about.
Cory Doctorow
Any outfit that can't figure out clean toilets and decent theming on its own can't benefit from my advice.
Cory Doctorow
Content isn't king. If I sent you to a desert island and gave you the choice of taking your friends or your movies, you'd choose your friends -- if you chose the movies, we'd call you a sociopath. Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about.
Cory Doctorow
The companies are multinational--why should labor still stick to borders?
Cory Doctorow
I'd never been a tall guy, and the girls I'd dated had all been my height--teenaged girls grow faster than guys, which is a cruel trick of nature.
Cory Doctorow
These days, tales of what Facebook did with its users during the singularity are commonly used to scare naughty children in Wales.
Cory Doctorow
Giant letters march across the dome of the sky: HOME NOT FOUND. Huw, who knows Comic Sans when she sees it, winces in mild disgust.
Cory Doctorow
He hated it when adults told him he only felt the way he did because he was young. As if being young was like being insane or drunk, like the convictions he held were hallucinations caused by a mental illness that could only be cured by waiting five years.
Cory Doctorow
Technology giveth and technology taketh away.
