creativity thinking people
This is one of my favorites. People think of creativity as this sort of unbridled thing, but engineers thrive on constraints. They love to think their way out of that little box: 'We know you said it was impossible, but we're going to do this, this, and that to get us there.'
data answers collections
With data collection, 'the sooner the better' is always the best answer.
believe mirrors world
I really believe that the virtual world mirrors the physical world.
funny-inspirational order three
Vince Lombardi says, you know, in my life there are three things: God, family, and the Green Bay Packers, in that order. For me, it's God, family, and Yahoo, in that order.
rhythm
I like to stay in the rhythm of things.
I like to get myself in over my head.
thinking information online
I think that ultimately over time we really should strive for a place where most information is available online and is searchable.
choices principles privacy
For me the core principles of privacy online are transparency, choice and control.
years google ifs
I love Google. I was there for 13 years, and if you told me I'd be as happy anywhere else, I would've probably doubted it. But I am as happy, if not happier, at Yahoo.
vacation long pace
I pace myself by taking a week-long vacation every four months.
wonderful moments break
Search occupies this wonderful moment in a user's day where it doesn't even really break along demographics, right?
personalization
To me, the future is personalization .
badass technology thinking
I love technology, and I don't think it's something that should divide along gender lines.
problem unsolved-problems
Search is an unsolved problem.
