running world rooms
The world is changing. Networks without a specific branding strategy will be killed. I envision a world of highly niched services and tightly run companies without room for all the overhead the established networks carry.
running games yesterday
It's not that you don't want to earn as much money as you can - it is your obligation, of course - but companies have obligations beyond that and they certainly have obligations beyond that at certain times, in the times in which they operate. And they also certainly ought to know that meeting and beating expectations is probably yesterday's game and it will be increasingly so, which would be by the way very healthy for companies. Running a company that meets and beats expectations, and that runs their company accordingly, are companies that I would question why anyone would invest in.
product ready search serious
We're ready to compete. We're very serious about this. Search evolves. We have a product that I think is part of that.
opportunity said great-opportunity
I've always said AOL is great opportunity for somebody.
vision want able
We want to be able to sell you anything, anywhere, any time you want it.
firsts transition publishing
I like businesses in transition, first of all. If ever there were a business in transition, it is publishing.
world want surprise
I don't want to set the world up for surprises.
believe promise internet
I absolutely believe the Internet is passing from its free days into a paid system. Inevitably, I promise you, it will be paid.
reality world painful
This is a world in which reasons are made up because reality is too painful.
thinking years ideas
The idea of a company that's earning money, not losing money, that's not, let's say 'industrially endangered,' to have just cutbacks so they can earn another $12 million or $20 million or $40 million in a year where no one's counting is really a horrible act when you think about it on every level. First of all, it's certainly not necessary. It's doing it at the worst time. It's throwing people out to a larger, what is inevitably a larger unemployment heap for frankly no good reason.
people world opinion
My opinion, young people go to the Internet. To the Internet distribution system right now, you put it up there and it's accessed by the world.
issues economic-models solve
No one can solve an issue where there is no economic model yet.
want be-you
I'm never absolutely sure of anything, and I don't want to be. You're either right and you'll pull through, or you're not. We're never going to be right about everything, and we've certainly been wrong.
drug kind epiphany
If you have too many epiphanies, you're on some kind of drug.
