creativity thinking people
Creativity is people who care enough to keep thinking about something until they find the simplest way to do it.
meaningful believe discipline
We believe in saying no to thousands of projects so that we can really focus on the few that are truly important and meaningful to us.
wall focus problem
You can focus on things that are barriers or you can focus on scaling the wall or redefining the problem.
order ideas numbers
We are the most focused company that I know of or have read of or have any knowledge of. We say no to good ideas every day. We say no to great ideas in order to keep the amount of things we focus on very small in number, so that we can put enormous energy behind the ones we do choose.....It's not just saying yes to the right products, it's saying no to many products that are good ideas, but just not nearly as good as other ones.
gay pride proud
So let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.
thinking apples pressure
I don't really think anything Microsoft does puts pressure on Apple.
moving apples people
If you're worried about messaging, people will just move to something else. You know if you legislate against Facebook and Apple and Google and whatever else in the US, they'll just use something else. So are we really safer then? I would say no. I would say we're less safe, because now we've opened up all of the infrastructure for people to go wacko at.
country apples people
Our message, to people around the country and around the world, is this: Apple is open. Open to everyone, regardless of where they come from, what they look like, how they worship or who they love.
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.
thinking apples
I don't think Apple has to own a content business.
country boys phones
If I'm working with you for several months on things, if I have a relationship with you, and I decide one day I'm going to sue you, I'm a country boy at the end of the day. I'm going to pick up the phone and tell you I'm going to sue you.
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.
mean data mountain
There's a mountain of information about us. I mean there's so much. Anyway, I'm not an intelligence person. But I just look at it and it's a mountain of data.
strong thinking views
I think two people with strong points of view can appreciate each other even more.
