Anthony Chan

I think the (PPI and core PPI) numbers will make the Fed a bit more comfortable that the status quo is fine, ... The core PPI is the one they really care about.

To explain this change to employees, Microsoft hosted an internal event with CEO Steve Ballmer, chairman Bill Gates, Johnson, Allchin, Raikes, and Bach. Most of the discussion and Q & A that happened that day is largely irrelevant to Nexus readers, but the company did take one impromptu question about competition with Apple Computer that I thought you'd enjoy. Here's a transcript of that portion of the session, and some photos taken from a video of the event,

Ken Ham

Carlos Cardoso

I think that an effective CEO is a generalist in many waysone that can represent the company well to the customers, to the investors, to the community.

Allan Paller

The ISO is going to the CEO saying there's a chance something bad, and possibly something embarrassing, could happen. But how much of a chance, the ISO doesn't know. And if he spends this kind of money, he can reduce the risk but by how much, he doesn't know. It's simply not enough data. Every other C-level executive does better than that and takes on the responsibility for defining the risk. Here, the CISO is putting the responsibility on the CEO. They don't want it, and eventually they won't take it.

Harvey Golub

The CEO succession process from me to Ken has gone smoothly, and we have been able to move even more quickly than I anticipated, ... Ken has put in place the new organization structure and senior leadership team.

Glen Tullman

Jean Miller

He is the comrade around whom the party people can coalesce. He should be chairman for life.

Jack Reynolds (the developer's attorney) told me that a simple language change in their development proposal resulted in the need to rezone the site. They changed the language from 'senior living' to 'age-restricted' and apparently, doing so requires a rezoning if they want to develop the site in the way that they propose.

Robert Boswell

Mike Stoller

I write a melody and then change it and change it until I get it the way I like it.

Al Bowman

Just to put that in perspective, a traffic ticket is a summary offense. It happened years ago in college. I think, obviously, Mike has changed quite a bit, as we all have, in these last eight years or six years. I'm sure he's not proud of these.

Barry Collier

Kansas didn't just cut our hair. They shaved our head. They scored 196 or 96 or one or the other on us. It'll take a tremendous effort to slow them down and change that.

Stephen Roelofse

I think in time they will probably make an offer (for Western Areas). I can't see them taking a passive stake in the company like that.

Eugene Christiansen

Harrah's is putting together some very, very strategic real estate. You look at that, you look at Caesars Palace and the implication is that Harrah's is: a) Making a no-brainer investment; b) Is making provision for a major expansion in its Strip presence. I look at the map; I couldn't read it any other way. That's something the company needs Å  a greater presence on the Strip.

This is entirely amicable with no precise end date and he and the other key members of the company know he has my complete and continued support in whatever he decides to do.

Tim Maluga

Kate wanted a higher level of competition, which I was totally understandable. Also, American University is in D.C. and has a much higher ratio of international students.

Don Mattingly

I think it helps to be away for a while. You're ready to come back. You make the choice, you want to do it. You're not doing it because you have to. As soon as you start getting into the competition of the season, it comes right back to you.

Calvin Ayre

I actually think regulation is bad. An unregulated market creates competition at its highest levels, which means innovation, which is a good thing for the players,

Nick Saban

He's handled himself well. He's had some big matches this year, and I think the competition he's had throughout the year has set him up and prepared him for the state tournament.

Greg Carlson

It could be difficult for them to gain much headway given all the competition out there, especially on the price side.

Cecil Burch

It is a good feeling to have that many guys up there. It is a good conference and the competition is really outstanding. The whole league is tight. I am impressed with the runners, they did a good job.

Rahul Dravid

It is a different competition with different rules. Pakistan is a good one-day side especially at home. We have a young side who has done well recently. We are looking forward to it.

Jurgen Klinsmann

It is a competition just like over the rest of the pitch,

Fred Rose

Whatever they end up doing as adults, they'll have to be highly technical and computer literate.

Jon Oringer

There is a lack of talent in technology, and we need to be encouraging kids in school to learn how to code. We need to encourage computer science as a major. We need to encourage entrepreneurism.

Megan Smith

There are several places in Vietnam where they're teaching computer science from second grade in class, so they don't have a gender divide because everybody is expected to program.

Brian Samson

We think all of those three are going to happen in the next two years. Ramona will probably be next. Actually there's been some discussion about whether to make Ramona a (full) station.

If you look at issues like immigration, gay marriage, gun regulation - these are all things that probably wouldn't be a source of much discussion at all in D.C., if they weren't sources of self-perpetuation.

Jeanne Thompson

I just think this is a play for power and for more discussion time.

Bob Dinneen

Clearly, ethanol is something we are doing now that we can do more of that will provide at least a part of the solution for the future. We wouldn't be having this discussion if oil was $25 a barrel.

Kenny Wallace

I always do look forward to the stand-alone events,

Kim Williams

He could score out in probably four events. He's going to help us in quite a few running events as well.

I. Stone

He can take two or three minutes with me just before an event and listen to what I want him to do and then put it all together and go do it. That's the kind of kid he is.

Shyam Selvadurai

On a personal level, I think the political situation in Sri Lanka is very much on the mind of Sri Lankans in Canada. They have family here and family back home, and it's possible they've lost members in any one of those tremendous, unbearable events there.

Chip Howard

There are so many events there - the floor is put up and taken down all the time, and that shortens the shelf life quite a bit.

Tom Chiappetta

Having an event of this magnitude it really doesn't get any better.

Gil Jamieson

Had Hurricane Katrina not come through here, Rita would be the event of the decade.

What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

Todd Pratt

He's dirty. There isn't much to explain when you see the numbers out there and how quickly he went through the lineup.

Jerry Kelly

He seemed like a wonderful guy. It's impossible to explain something like this and what may have gone wrong for him.

Shatha Atiya

He's happy to be home. It's not the time to explain anything. The whole thing is very abnormal.

Tony Stewart

He's a talented kid. He's one of those guys that when you explain something to him, he does a lot more listening than he does talking, and that's hard to find with guys that are really competitive.

Jim Parkman

I think it's more harmful than it is good. Most defendants say, 'Put me up there, and I can explain everything away.' And that doesn't happen.

Mark Boudreaux

We take these issues very seriously. We realized that we needed to do a better job of explaining how the industry works.

Don Watson

How would they explain that as they got off the plane at Beirut? ... How would they tell grandma under a cypress tree: They wanted us to worship a donkey!?

He could remember things that happened 40 years ago better than you or I can remember what happened last year.

Diana Yates

What would have happened to Citigroup under a weaker operating environment?

David Cameron

Whatever happened to no reverse gear? Whatever happened to the historic turning point? If you keep turning it's not going to be very historic.

Frank Beamer

Whatever happened is unfortunate. I'm not happy about some of the things that happened in the first half. We'll leave it at that.

Carlo Colaiacovo

Whatever happened in the past, stays in the past. We're not going to look back on those games.

Donovan McNabb

Whatever happened in the past, hopefully it's over.

Chad Pennington

Whatever happened in Albany stays there. It happened so long ago that it's not in my mind anymore.

internal sloppiness in the management of that lab.

Ray Harris

I'm wondering why I'm not mapping fissures, ... We could do it with internal funding, if we had enough, but we don't have enough.

I'm an instinctual actor. I don't really talk about it. Usually if I get a script and I'm having trouble with it, I go to sleep and I dream about it because I'm super internal with the way I work.

George Kafkarkou

It's not just about the end-user's needs, but also about the needs of the IT professionals who service those end-users, whether internal IT staff or an outside solution provider.

Robert Cannon

It's an internal matter. We're waiting for the investigation to be completed.

Katsuya Okada

The reform of Japan starts today. There is no tomorrow for the Koizumi LDP government, which spends all its time in internal power struggles.

Andy Fisher

This is not the first time this has happened. It may be some kind of internal bureaucratic problem.

Elliot Mincberg

The whole idea of the internal memoranda is to try to get a more unvarnished view of what Roberts said.

Laila Robins

That's always a fun thing to play, a relationship where there's equals. I often play roles that are repressive, or women who are slightly repressed or having some kind of internal conflict.

Steven Wood

The FOMC is smiling, as their preferred scenario is largely unfolding.

Jacob Snow

That has a lot of potential because, at this point, it's largely undeveloped.

Ken Peterson

It's largely a matter of your trust in the person taking your order.

Najib Razak

For many years, Myanmar's leadership was largely shut out from the world of international diplomacy.

Jeff Cohen

The only thing I think really needs to be addressed by Microsoft is biometrics.

Jeff Johnson

He was saying, 'Look what I did at Microsoft and look what I can do for you.

Rob Enderle

There's always been a belief that Microsoft would respond punitively if you did something they didn't like. You were afraid of Microsoft's reaction, .. That belief has been pretty much destroyed. Vendors, clients and customers feel pretty much free do whatever they have to do in their Microsoft relationship.

Bruce Perens

If Microsoft turns out to be the aggressor, that does not help. The pool unfortunately turns out to be spitting in the wind.

Chuck D.

The migration path to anything but Microsoft would require a forklift overhaul.

Richard Williams

This is a glaring, embarrassing problem that Microsoft has to fix.

Eric S. Raymond

Microsoft is not the problem. Microsoft is the symptom.

Naveen Jain

Early versions of Microsoft Word left a lot to be desired. However, to the company's credit, it quickly learned where Word fell short, made the necessary changes, and repeatedly introduced new versions of the software.

Lance Ulanoff

Mac OS is just as vulnerable as Microsoft Windows

Mary-Kate Olsen

I look at old photos of me, and I don't feel connected to them at all. I would never wish my upbringing on anyone... but I wouldn't take it back for the world.

Mark Edwards

That's a little weird to me. Why would you be taking photos if nothing happened? Were they being taken to set up a defense?

Norman Reedus

I'm always taking pictures and travelling with a camera and have so many photos that I've done a book.

Craig Fraser

Those photos would make you turn white to look at them,

Megan Smith

For those of you who are underrepresented in technology, know that you've always been here. Look in photos and see yourself reflecting back.

Jess Glynne

I have so much hair, so straightening takes a long time. I mean, if I look at photos of myself with straight hair, it's hilarious. I look like a different person.

The hardest portion of English, I must say it: Idioms.

George Daley

I would say they also raise more questions than answers.

He is very sharp. No one has any questions that he is well-qualified.

Darrell Bricker

Scott Hannan

We've got to salvage this trip. We have to win, no question about it.

Helen Rowland

There aren't any embarrassing questions - only embarrassing answers.

Cecil Ratliff

I don't have to repeat anything this year. I tell him what to run and there's no questions about whether it will work or not. He's a senior now and much more confident, a leader.

F. Schumacher

I'd much rather be in my spot, there's no question about it.

Matt Cullen

He was the difference, there's no question about that.

Dale Murray

I told Steve he won't be out the door. He could still be on the staff.

Bus Cook

We have to get some things resolved. I'm sure the Titans want to keep Steve, and I'm sure they will. Steve wants to stay, and we want to keep him in Tennessee.

Cate Blanchett

Once you get an offer from Steven Soderbergh, you just do anything you can to make it fit.

Jim Heath

We think Steven (Duncan) will make it (to state) in the 100 back.

If this happens, this is time for Steve to make that move.

Eugene Christiansen

Horseracing is still waiting for its Steve Lipscomb,

Tom Muller

One job, one wife, one house. That's Steve Flores.

Tony Stewart

I'm scared of saying something that may get taken the wrong way.

George Best

It has been a long week but things have taken a turn for the best. I am very optimistic.

Richelle Mead

Well," he said, clearly enjoying my confusion. "It was actually for two souls, since you and Seth were both saved. But even if it wasn't, it still would've been worth it. Do you know the price of one soul, Georgina? It's beyond rubies and diamonds, beyond any mortal reckoning. If it had taken me centuries, if it had taken a dozen more angels to help me, it all would have been worth it.

Richelle Mead

I’ve come to ask you where Seth is.” "Funny,” said Andrea. “We were going to ask you the same thing.” I was taken aback. “How would I know?” They both just stared. "I don’t!

Ron Chernow

A prudent silence will frequently be taken for wisdom and a sentence or two cautiously thrown in will sometimes gain the palm of knowledge, while a man well informed but indiscreet and unreserved will not uncommonly talk himself out of all consideration and weight. (Alexander Hamilton's 'thesis on discretion' written to his son James shortly before his fatal duel with Burr.)

Tryon Edwards

We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave may be the shortest way to heaven.

Trish Stratus

I'm good friends with The Rock, and I talk to him all the time. And he says that, even though his movie career has taken off, he misses the instant gratification of wrestling, and the live crowds, and I could see being that way myself.

Richard D. Zanuck

The technology is really where all of the changes have taken place, but the fundamentals of a good story being the basis of every good picture, and really the only basis still remains the rule, more so today, I think, because we've unfortunately weaned an audience from birth to kind of mindless movies.

Tyler Oakley

I'm usually so in control, especially for YouTube videos.

Sarah Silverman

I love making videos on my couch. You can put those on the Internet fast. I can express myself.

Video for the Internet has become a testing ground for mediums that actually have revenue.

Lilly Singh

I know one of the reasons I first started making Youtube videos was because no one looks like me.

Nia Long

Directing music videos is all about capturing images.

Kimiko Glenn

When I think back on high school, I always tried to make silly videos with my friends.

Miguel

Goat screaming videos are hilarious.

Niklas Zennstrom

Some Internet operators are concerned that video services such as Netflix and YouTube consume lots of the bandwidth on the network. While there is some truth to this, my guess is that the operators wished they could provide the same kind of services with the same success as Netflix and YouTube.

Sheryl Crow

Most writers like to maintain some sort of anonymity. For me, making videos was an assault.
