change running demand
The Internet doesn't change everything. It doesn't change supply and demand. It doesn't magically allow you to build businesses by turning investors' money into operating expenses indefinitely. The money always runs out eventually.. the Internet doesn't change that, as we have seen.
desktop mainstream appearing
I don't see Merced appearing on a mainstream desktop inside of a decade.
senior zero devil
There's a tendency at the senior and middle-manager level to be too big-picturish and too superficial. There is a phrase, "The devil is in the details." One can formulate brilliant global strategies whose executability is zero. It's only through familiarity with details - the capability of the individuals who have to execute, the marketplace, the timing - that a good strategy emerges. I like to work from details to big pictures.
flow firsts steps
In the first round of work simplification...you can reasonably expect a 30 to 50 percent reduction...To implement the actual simplification, you must question why each step is performed. Typically, you will find that many steps exist in your work flow for no good reason. Often they are there by tradition or because formal procedure ordains it, and nothing practical ordains it.
country pennsylvania tanks
Most Americans probably aren't aware that there was a time in this country when tanks and cavalry were massed on Pennsylvania Avenue to chase away the unemployed.
sunset technology internet-users
Just as we could have rode into the sunset, along came the Internet, and it tripled the significance of the PC.
girl stupid thinking
Girls don't think boys' games are too hard, they think they are stupid.
maintaining culture has-beens
Whatever success we have had in maintaining our culture has been instrumental in Intel's success in surviving strategic inflection points.
thinking parent generations
Think about it. Right now, a whole generation of young (customers) in the United States has been brought up to take computers for granted. Pointing a mouse is no more mysterious to them than hitting the "on" button on the television is to their parents.
priorities firsts miles
Pickups, S.U.V.'s, vans and the like represent about 80 million vehicles, with mileage of perhaps 13 to 16 miles per gallon. Converting those should be our first priority.
people growth desire
Growth is kinda built into everyone's genes. It's built into management's genes, the salesman's genes, the investors' desires. People expect companies to grow.
people littles achieve
There are so many people working so hard and achieving so little.
age privacy problem
Privacy is one of the biggest problems in this new electronic age.
growing-up nice teenager
I wasn't cut out to be an opera singer, but it was a nice fantasy for a teenager growing up in Hungary during the Stalinist era.
