「 To Raskin, our human needs revolved around text. We want to write (in text), crunch numbers (text, again), communicate (yup, text), and code (esoteric text, but text all the same). That was the most you could expect of computers in the ’80’s. Three decades later, it’d still be the rarest of days if you touched a computer and didn’t interact with text at all.
Computing for the rest of us, that’s what Raskin set out to build 」

「 From a “purely technical point of view,” Sandvik found Pegasus “fascinating.” Here was malware that could hack into someone’s device without their knowledge, finding ways to leverage already installed apps and bugs in the Apple and Android operating systems. “I’d always thought something like Pegasus was within the realm of possibility,” she said. But how NSO Group made it work was like nothing she’d ever seen 」

「 War of the Worlds. Nishikado remembered the 1953 film from his childhood and became inspired by various media depictions of the invaders, which often resembled sea life. “I based a new target on an octopus, and since it was now an alien, there was no problem shooting it,” he says 」
