A Plausible Future
Topic: Futurism 7:58 am EDT, Oct 27, 2010

Jerry Weinberger:

Ignorant people don't think of the evils they endure, while the Americans dream constantly of the goods they do not have.

Ray Ozzie:

Those who can envision a plausible future that's brighter than today will earn the opportunity to lead.

Steve Jobs:

I just couldn't help dropping by.

Ozzie:

In our industry, if you can imagine something, you can build it. Certain of our competitors' products and their rapid advancement & refinement of new usage scenarios have been quite noteworthy.

Our early and clear vision notwithstanding, their execution has surpassed our own in mobile experiences, in the seamless fusion of hardware & software & services, and in social networking & myriad new forms of internet-centric social interaction.

Eric Schmidt:

You get a billion people doing something, there's lots of ways to make money. Absolutely, trust me. We'll get lots of money for it.

Michael Osinski:

When you're close to the money, you get the first cut. Oyster farmers eat lots of oysters, don't they?

Jobs:

We don't aspire to be like them. They're good at being like them. We want to be like us.

I don't see them catching up with us in the foreseeable future.

Jeff Bezos's grandfather:

One day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever.

Steve Jobs:

You're looking at it wrong.

An exchange:

Interviewee: We had a master sergeant that could stop the heart of a goat.

Jon Ronson: What? Just by looking at it?

Interviewee: Just by wantin' the goat's heart to stop.

Glen Owen and Rhodri Phillips:

Sony has sparked a major row over animal cruelty and the ethics of the computer industry by using a freshly slaughtered goat to promote a violent video game.

Thakis:

I expected Google Chrome to teleport maybe three, maximum five goats!

What happens instead? About 3*10^6 goats get teleported!

I won't be able to pay for teleportation of such a huge amount of goats!

Josh Harris:

Everything is free, except the video that we capture of you. That we own.

Decius:

Money for me, databases for you.
