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

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

While I have never learned to use a computer, I am surrounded by family and friends who carry information to me from blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and various websites.

I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.

I’m trying my best to keep up with all this new technology, and I surround myself with all these wonderful people that are in the know and kind of help me out with all that.

I pay attention to politics and technology.

Be pleasant until ten o’clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.

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

If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 MPG.

The truth of Moore’s law has made remarkable things possible. On the software side, I think natural user interfaces in all their forms are equally significant.

I am in touch with a company that hopes to replicate my voice. However, they are not replicating my original voice – if they did that, I would sound like a man in his 20s, which would be very strange! They are actually trying to replicate the synthesizer that sits on my wheelchair.

I’m a geek.

We’re going to be able to ask our computers to monitor things for us, and when certain conditions happen, are triggered, the computers will take certain actions and inform us after the fact.

When I take my kid to school, all the parents stop and stare.

I don’t have a computer. A computer’s a typewriter. I already have a typewriter.

Woz is living his own life now. He hasn’t been around Apple for about five years. But what he did will go down in history.

All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.

I got my first computer in the 6th grade or so. As soon as I got it, I was interested in finding out how it worked and how the programs worked and then figuring out how to write programs at just deeper and deeper levels within the system.

There is a difference between what technology enables and what historical business practices enable.

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 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.‘

I think how you start the day many times determines what kind of day you’re going to have.

What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.

There’s no other company that could make a MacBook Air and the reason is that not only do we control the hardware, but we control the operating system. And it is the intimate interaction between the operating system and the hardware that allows us to do that. There is no intimate interaction between Windows and a Dell notebook.

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

While the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of man’s humanity to man.

We think the Mac will sell zillions, but we didn’t build the Mac for anybody else. We built it for ourselves. We were the group of people who were going to judge whether it was great or not. We weren’t going to go out and do market research. We just wanted to build the best thing we could build.

This whole phenomenon of the computer in a library is an amazing thing.

Everybody is entertained to death.

The problem is that the U.S. government is the biggest debtor in the world, and those depending on it to take care of them will only become poorer.

If Al Gore invented the Internet, I invented spell check.

The technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.

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.

How can we help President Obama?

Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.

There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.

The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don’t understand the software parts of it. And so you really can’t make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple’s the only company that has everything under one roof.

Connectivity is a human right.

I have more than once in my time woken up feeling like death.

On my desk I have three screens, synchronized to form a single desktop. I can drag items from one screen to the next. Once you have that large display area, you’ll never go back, because it has a direct impact on productivity.

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.

Microsoft has had two goals in the last 10 years. One was to copy the Mac, and the other was to copy Lotus‘ success in the spreadsheet – basically, the applications business. And over the course of the last 10 years, Microsoft accomplished both of those goals. And now they are completely lost.

We’re the only animal that wakes up and doesn’t stretch.

I didn’t used to wear a watch. Now I have a SPOT watch, which I wear all the time.

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.

Perhaps one day we will have machines that can cope with approximate task descriptions, but in the meantime, we have to be very prissy about how we tell computers to do things.

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?

Although designers continue to dream of ‚transparency‘ – technologies that just do their job without making their presence felt – both creators and audiences actually like technologies with ‚personality.‘

In a time not distant, it will be possible to flash any image formed in thought on a screen and render it visible at any place desired. The perfection of this means of reading thought will create a revolution for the better in all our social relations.

The biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5.

Once you have a computer that can do a few things – strictly speaking, one that has a certain ‚sufficient set‘ of basic procedures – it can do basically anything any other computer can do. This, loosely, is the basis of the great principle of ‚Universality‘.
