Any version of Windows is going to have lots of great new things that people use and things that are tough.

What I’m trying to do is, is to make a significant difference in space flight. And help make space flight accessible to almost anyone.

The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.

Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.

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.

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

I think every age lives in a blend of technology so there’s always older ones mixed in with newer ones, and when the new technology goes down, the immediate fallback position is either that technology just before that or one several technologies back.

I find it amusing that I’m on the Internet now, because I’ve criticized it, but mainly I’ve criticized it on the basis of, ‚What are you going to do with it?‘

Microsoft is not about greed. It’s about innovation and fairness.

Sometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look.

It is true that SpaceX is partially a government contractor, but it would be unfair to say that SpaceX is entirely a government contractor.

The computer can’t tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what’s missing is the eyebrows.

There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions.

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.

E-governance is easy governance, effective governance, and also economic governance. E-governance paves the way for good governance.

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

We have too many cellphones. We’ve got too many internets. We have got to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines now.

For the first time we’re allowing developers who don’t work at Facebook to develop applications just as if they were. That’s a big deal because it means that all developers have a new way of doing business if they choose to take advantage of it. There are whole companies that are forming whose only product is a Facebook Platform application.

I am amazed at the wonders of technology and am grateful for the ways in which we are able to use it to share the Gospel around the world.

At Facebook, we build tools to help people connect with the people they want and share what they want, and by doing this we are extending people’s capacity to build and maintain relationships.

We want to make it so that anyone, anywhere – a child growing up in rural India who never had a computer – can go to a store, get a phone, get online, and get access to all of the same things that you and I appreciate about the Internet.

We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

Forces that you might think are utterly unrelated to creativity can have a big impact. Technology, obviously, but environment, too. Even financial structures can affect the actual content of a song. The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.

We are in the throes of a transition where every publication has to think of their digital strategy.

One of my big regrets is that Facebook hasn’t had a major chance to shape the mobile operating system ecosystem.

When I was born in 1920, the auto was only 20 years old. Radio didn’t exist. TV didn’t exist. I was born at just the right time to write about all of these things.

If we’re trying to build a world-class News Feed and a world-class messaging product and a world-class search product and a world-class ad system, and invent virtual reality and build drones, I can’t write every line of code. I can’t write any lines of code.

How do people relate to movies now, when they’re on portable devices or streaming them? It’s not as much about going to the movies. That experience has changed.

To create a new standard, it takes something that’s not just a little bit different; it takes something that’s really new and really captures people’s imagination, and the Macintosh, of all the machines I’ve ever seen, is the only one that meets that standard.

But there’s so much kludge, so much terrible stuff, we are at the 1908 Hurley washing machine stage with the Internet. That’s where we are. We don’t get our hair caught in it, but that’s the level of primitiveness of where we are. We’re in 1908.

The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all – the apathy of human beings.

I do think there should be some regulations on AI.

What we want to be is something completely new. There is no physical analog for what Amazon.com is becoming.

We think Android is very, very fragmented, and becoming more fragmented by the day. And as you know, Apple strives for the integrated model so that the user isn’t forced to be the systems integrator.

I’m never fully satisfied with any Microsoft product.

I don’t think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn’t becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it’s very new to us. Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people ‚over the Internet.‘

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Who decides what’s in Windows? The customers who buy it.

I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone’s inside virtually going everywhere they want to go, virtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.

Drones overall will be more impactful than I think people recognize, in positive ways to help society.

Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.

The United States tyrannizes and pillages the globalized world with its political, economic, technological, and military might.

Given how few young people actually read the newspaper, it’s a good thing they’ll be reading a newspaper on a screen.

The age in which we live, this non-stop distraction, is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline… because you need to be alone to find out anything.

I like the word ‚autopilot‘ more than I like the word ‚self-driving.‘ ‚Self-driving‘ sounds like it’s going to do something you don’t want it to do. ‚Autopilot‘ is a good thing to have in planes, and we should have it in cars.

Study hard so that you can master technology, which allows us to master nature.

Software is a great combination between artistry and engineering.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can’t replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.

I think that the digital media are interesting enough in their own right to be worth originating something in.

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.

I know there’s a farmer out there somewhere who never wants a PC and that’s fine with me.

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

I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one’s memories.

Electronic books are junk.

Every aspect of human technology has a dark side, including the bow and arrow.

Apple took the edge off the word ‚computer.‘

When I was in my 40s, Microsoft was my primary activity.

Ever since Newton, we’ve done science by taking things apart to see how they work. What the computer enables us to do is to put things together to see how they work: we’re now synthesized rather than analysed. I find one of the most enthralling aspects of computers is limitless communication.

We started off as this platform inside Facebook; and we were pretty clear from the beginning that that wasn’t where it was going to end up. A lot of people saw it and asked, ‚Why is Facebook trying to get all these applications inside Facebook when the web is clearly the platform?‘ And we actually agreed with that.
