<p>Apple has always made computers; Microsoft used to make only software (and occasional accessory hardware, such as mice and keyboards), but now it&rsquo;s in the hardware business, with Xbox game consoles, Surface tablets, and Lumia phones.

The dreamscape becomes fluid and can be sorted and restructured. I&rsquo;ve had programming dreams where I move text around the screen. </p>
