When Philippe Kahn Speaks out on Borland, Camera phones, and the Future.

Mr Borland looks back and ahead. A few quotes:

• People say I came to America,” he says. “I came to Silicon Valley. It happened to be in America.”
• Pournelle’s enthusiasm was a boon, says Kahn, as was Borland’s decision to staff trade-show booths with “good-looking girls” to promote the company’s products to the mostly-male crowds of programmers.
• I do believe there’s a fundamental revolution and paradigm shift with [camera phones]. More and more, they do everything you want to do. You’re not tied to a place or location.”
• “When you try and innovate things,” he mused, “people think you’re nuts.”
