“ The US does not know whether to tax energy or subsidise it, promote domestic oil production or forbid it, treat ExxonMobil and Chevron as champions or pariahs. So it does all of the above. ” - Clive Crook (FT.com)

“ It’s somehow less amusing than it should be…might sum up “The Love Guru” in its entirety but only at the risk of grievously understating the movie’s awfulness. A whole new vocabulary seems to be required. To say that the movie is not funny is merely to affirm the obvious. The word “unfunny” surely applies to Mr. Myers’s obnoxious attempts to find mirth in physical and cultural differences but does not quite capture the strenuous unpleasantness of his performance. No, “The Love Guru” is downright antifunny, an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again. ” - A. O. Scott (The New York Times)

“ What is the greatest threat facing us now? People will say it’s terrorism. But are there any terrorists in the world who can change the American way of life or our political system? No. Can they knock down a building? Yes. Can they kill somebody? Yes. But can they change us? No. Only we can change ourselves. ” - Colin Powell

“ Cruft is the stuff that accumulates on code over time. Cruft has no odor, but it stinks. Cruft has no mass, but it weighs the code down. Cruft can’t be seen, but it’s ugly. Cruft cannot be young, it’s always old. Cruft can’t be deliberately added, it only appears when you’re not looking. Cruft can’t be explained to managers, except through awkward car analogies. They still won’t get it because managers drive well-maintained elegant foreign cars like BMW’s, which gather no cruft. Programmers understand, because their Fords and Chevys are practically built of cruft. Harley motorcycles should have cruft, but noise dissipates cruft. Cruft is mysterious. ” - MarsDefenseMinister (on Slashdot)

“ All told, the launch looks like it is going according to master spinmeister Steve Jobs’s brilliant marketing plan to take away all attention from Paris Hilton yammering on about her time in the pokey. And for this gift alone, we are in his debt forever. ” - Kara Swisher
