war reality thinking
The reality of today from a cyber security point of view - I think some of the top people predict that the next big war is fought on cyber security.
country thinking liberty
When I think of civil liberties I think of the founding principles of the country. The freedoms that are in the First Amendment. But also the fundamental right to privacy.
philosophy thinking government
I think that [there is] this fundamental right to privacy and the philosophy that government shouldn't be intrusive.
reality thinking apples
The reality is, is that we love competition, at Apple. We think it makes us all better. But we want people to invent their own stuff.
thinking apples pressure
I don't really think anything Microsoft does puts pressure on Apple.
thinking apples
I don't think Apple has to own a content business.
strong thinking views
I think two people with strong points of view can appreciate each other even more.
children thinking ipads
That brings us to iPad. We think the iPad is the poster-child of the post-PC world.
thinking the-end-of-the-day toasters
I think anything can be forced to converge. The problem is that products are about tradeoffs, and you begin to make tradeoffs to the point where what you have left at the end of the day doesn't please anyone. You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going to be pleasing to the user.
unique thinking apples
Apple has a culture of excellence that is, I think, so unique and so special. I'm not going to witness or permit the change of it.
running thinking data
Our business is not based on having information about you. You’re not our product. Our product are these, and this watch, and Macs, and so forth. And so we run a very different company. I think everyone has to ask, how do companies make their money? Follow the money. And if they’re making money mainly by collecting gobs of personal data, I think you have a right to be worried.
successful thinking apples
I'm speaking to you from Silicon Valley, where some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information. They're gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it. We think that's wrong. And it's not the kind of company that Apple wants to be.
confused thinking goal
Companies that get confused, that think their goal is revenue or stock price or something. You have to focus on the things that lead to those.
passion thinking yield
No matter what you do next, the world needs your energy, your passion, your impatience for progress. Don't shrink from risk. And tune out those critics and cynics. History rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. That can be you. That should be you. That must be you.
