If books had been invented after the computer, they would have been considered a big breakthrough. Books have several hundred simultaneous paper-thin, flexible displays. They boot instantly. They run on very low power at a very low cost.

Project Time Estimates: Over the years I have found a nearly foolproof technique for software project estimation. By foolproof, I mean that it doesn‘t always fail. Well it worked once. Nearly once. Anyway, my software project estimation technique is to simply find the most knowledgeable developer and ask him, “How long is this going to take?” Get his answer and adjust it slightly for the well know developer optimism effect. This adjustment is very simple: take the developer estimate, double it and move to the next higher unit of time. Three hours? Six days. Couple of days? Two weeks. Five weeks? Ten months.
