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.

I've always said AOL is great opportunity for somebody.

We want to be able to sell you anything, anywhere, any time you want it.

I like businesses in transition, first of all. If ever there were a business in transition, it is publishing.

I don't want to set the world up for surprises.

reality world painful
This is a world in which reasons are made up because reality is too painful.

If you have too many epiphanies, you're on some kind of drug.
form commerce
All forms of commerce are adversarial.
