Time and task were both disorienting, for if you were to remove everything from our lives that depends on electricity to function, homes and offices would become no more than the chambers and passages of limestone caves- simple shelter from wind and rain, far less useful than the first homes at Plymouth Plantation or a wigwam.

Please, I beg him inwardly.

The best thing I have always liked about photographers is that they perceive beauty in everything. Beautify everything with clicks; Sonam was that way, looking for beauty everywhere in every place, in every person, may be it was just a practice of photographers.

Yet before, everything was in a fog. — Francis Crick

It's funny. Dev had always said disposables were different. That what they contained was more special because you couldn't instantly see inside. You had to wait.

When a customer clicks through the license conditions to play the game, they're agreeing to add their phone as a node in a distributed server.

The game programmers' biggest problems are maintaining causality and object coherency while minimizing network latency - sorry, — Charles Stross
