jobs thinking offers
I had to think really hard about how to choose between job offers.
thinking networking social-network
Will the social networking phenomenon lessen? I don't think so.
army simple thinking
I think Google should be like a Swiss Army knife: clean, simple, the tool you want to take everywhere.
opportunity thinking amazing-opportunities
There are amazing opportunities all over the world for women, and I think that there's more good that comes out of positive energy around that than negative energy.
believe thinking rights
I don't think that I would consider myself a feminist. I think that I certainly believe in equal rights, I believe that women are just as capable, if not more so in a lot of different dimensions, but I don't, I think have, sort of, the militant drive and the sort of, the chip on the shoulder that sometimes comes with that.
creativity thinking people
This is one of my favorites. People think of creativity as this sort of unbridled thing, but engineers thrive on constraints. They love to think their way out of that little box: 'We know you said it was impossible, but we're going to do this, this, and that to get us there.'
thinking information online
I think that ultimately over time we really should strive for a place where most information is available online and is searchable.
badass technology thinking
I love technology, and I don't think it's something that should divide along gender lines.
night thinking glasses
When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night.
thinking order packers
I think that for me, it's God, family and Yahoo—in that order.
thinking size balls
If you took the entire internet and laid it end to end, it would weigh more than the other thing. It would weigh more than it would if it wasn't laid end to end. Like, if it was a ball of rolled up internet it would weigh less. I'm pretty sure. It depends on the size of the scale, I think.
thinking interesting next
I think the most interesting thing is what happens next.
new-beginnings thinking may
New beginnings – professional, personal, or come what may – are always uncomfortable, but being open to them is the only way to grow. In the end, we are all capable of so much more than we think.
technology thinking people
I definitely think what drives technology companies is the people; because in a technology company it's always about what are you going to do next.
