I'm hoping our software strategies are boring to you, because they're not changing every year, ... That is our strategy.
Don't settle, as with all matters of the heart you'll know when you find it
I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next.
The minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will pop out the other side, that you can change it, you can mold it. That's maybe the most important thing. It's to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.

We've clearly hit a speed bump, which will result in our earning, before investment gains, approximately $110 million rather than the expected $165 million for the September quarter, ... Though this slowdown is disappointing, we have so many wonderful new products and programs in the pipeline, including Mac OS X early next year, and remain positive about our future.
Those users haven't been upgraded because of viability concerns about Apple, which I think we've overcome, ... And we haven't given them a good product in a long time.
This ushers in a new generation of iMacs. We started a partnership less than a year ago to make this happen -- it's been incredible how our engineers have bonded and how well this has gone.
