How's this for a mea culpa: The CEO of Sony recently said the following:

"If we had gone with open technology from the start, I think we probably would have beaten Apple [in the music market]... [w]e can no longer say that we're right and our customers are wrong. We can't build only what we want to build."

Feel free to use this quote when trying to win your next argument of product design.

Man, I feel bad for any hostile entity that tries to go toe-to-toe with the new F-35 airborne weapons platform. Because it's got mad software, yo!
