Netscape was a company that made a graphical web browser—the web browser, really—but gave it away for free. Its income statement showed only modest revenue (and substantial losses).

About 20 years ago, I sat next to University of Maryland professor Ben Shneiderman at a conference dinner. We spent the time discussing twin software paradigms: in one, what we now call 'smart' software tried to guess our intentions, making its response annoyingly unpredictable; in the other, software with no adaptability did what it was told according to instructions that had to be precisely right.
