The usual method of finding a little dongly thing that actually matches a gizmo I want to use is to go and buy another one, at a price that can physically drive the air from your body.

We will explore the mysteries of science and harness the power of technology and innovation. We will realise the opportunities of the digital world. Our youth will learn more from – and with – each other.

The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That’s over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it’s going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.

I think a lot of the time there isn’t such a black-and-white difference between what’s a platform and what’s an app. It’s really just like the most important apps become platforms.

I mean Facebook is no longer a company, it’s a country. 2 billion users. It can influence what we think, what we believe, how we vote, what we buy, even how we feel.

Facebook is in a very different place than Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and Microsoft. We are trying to build a community.

Whenever you have multiple devices including multiple PCs that you want to share information with, it’s always been a bit complicated.

Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading sex manuals without the software.

The thing that’s been really surprising about the evolution of Facebook is – I think then, and I think now – that if we didn’t do this, someone else would have done it.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

Harnessing steam power required many innovations, as William Rosen chronicles in the book ‚The Most Powerful Idea in the World.‘

I’m never going to go to Mars, but I’ve helped inspire, thank goodness, the people who built the rockets and sent our photographic equipment off to Mars.

When I tell a child something the first time, I’m nice. The 15th time, I start to get aggravated.

The highly functional infrastructure that surrounds us, particularly in the West, is a gift from our ancestors: the comparatively uncorrupt political and economic systems, the technology, the wealth, the lifespan, the freedom, the luxury, and the opportunity.

The uncertainty of parenting can bring up feelings in us that range from frustration to terror.

In the twenty-first century, the robot will take the place which slave labor occupied in ancient civilization.

If you count E-mail, I’m on the Internet all day, every day.

I went to a general store. They wouldn’t let me buy anything specifically.

We polled Tesla owners, do you want autopilot disabled or not. Not one person wanted it disabled. That’s pretty telling.

I was terrible in English. I couldn’t stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention – it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature.

Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.

He who seeks does not find, but he who does not seek will be found.

People will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it’s cool.

As a medical doctor, I have known the face of adversity. I have seen much of death and dying, suffering and sorrow. I also remember the plight of students overwhelmed by their studies and of those striving to learn a foreign language. And I recall the fatigue and frustration felt by young parents with children in need.

It’s an awful feeling to write something that you feel is really important… and to feel that you’re being published by people who really don’t get it and/or don’t really care.

I updated my grilling app, iGrill, today and it now has Facebook integration that lets you see what other people are grilling right now around the world. Awesome.

I don’t have an alarm clock. If someone needs to wake me up, then I have my BlackBerry next to me.

Eventually we’ll be able to sequence the human genome and replicate how nature did intelligence in a carbon-based system.

First was the mouse. The second was the click wheel. And now, we’re going to bring multi-touch to the market. And each of these revolutionary interfaces has made possible a revolutionary product – the Mac, the iPod and now the iPhone.

Facebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team. It’s a technology that brings people together.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

The wealth of information now available at the click of a finger amazes me.

These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that.

Silicon Valley has some of the smartest engineers and technology business people in the world.

As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that’s all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.

Apple took the edge off the word ‚computer.‘

Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.

Computers make me totally blank out.

Technology is unlocking the innate compassion we have for our fellow human beings.

The press, the machine, the railway, the telegraph are premises whose thousand-year conclusion no one has yet dared to draw.

I came to America to teach my method – not to enter a research experiment.

Hate, emotionalism, and frustration are not policies.

We believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work, they have the talent to put those men back to work.

If that’s there, I believe that technology will probably step up to their part of it.

For NASA, space is still a high priority.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.

A shortage is a sign that somebody is keeping the price artificially lower than it would be if supply and demand were allowed to operate freely.

Innovation is moving at a scarily fast pace.

If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.

People don’t realise how difficult it is to work with people day in and day out that know absolutely nothing.

I feel very strongly that SpaceX would not have been able to get started, nor would we have made the progress that we have, without the help of NASA.

We no longer think of chairs as technology; we just think of them as chairs. But there was a time when we hadn’t worked out how many legs chairs should have, how tall they should be, and they would often ‚crash‘ when we tried to use them.

We must ensure that technology is accessible, affordable, and adds value.

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?

There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.

I just think people have a lot of fiction. But, you know, I mean, the real story of Facebook is just that we’ve worked so hard for all this time. I mean, the real story is actually probably pretty boring, right? I mean, we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

What really turns me on about technology is not just the ability to get more songs on MP3 players. The revolution – this revolution – is much bigger than that. I hope, I believe. What turns me on about the digital age, what excites me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing.

The key to making things affordable is design and technology improvements, as well as scale.

Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.
