Poetry was invented as an mnemonic device to enable people to remember their prayers.

The secret to my 5 o'clock shadow is a little device called the George Michael 3000 Custom Beard Trimmer and Personal Massager. Just kidding. I actually shave every morning, and thanks to my vast knowledge of Eastern philosophy and mysticism, I will my facial hair to grow to the exact same length each day. Dave Grohl taught me that one.

What I'm really interested in is this idea of a 'brain co-processor' - a device that can record from, and deliver information to, so many points in the brain, with a computational infrastructure in between - a computer that can process the information and compute exactly what needs to be restored.

America gave the world the notion of the melting pot - an alchemical cooking device wherein diverse ethnic and religious groups voluntarily mix together, producing a new, American identity. And while critics may argue that the melting pot is a national myth, it has tenaciously informed the America's collective imagination.

'Referring the matter to a committee' can be a device for diluting authority, diffusing responsibility and delaying decisions.

Microsoft is committed to the ubiquity of the Skype experience - communication across every device and every platform will remain a primary focus.

When you shop online, wouldn't you like to sample the bouquet of wines, the aroma of cigars, or the subtle fragrance of flowers before surrendering your credit card number? Surely more companies will want to aromatize their Web presence when they realize there's a device that can produce genuinely pleasing, authentic fragrances.

Carbon nanotubes are amazing because they're really good electrical conductors, yet they are only a few atoms in diameter. You can make transistors out of them in the same way you can with silicon. At Berkeley, we made the narrowest device anybody had ever made. It was basically a single molecule.

For me personally, the technology that has taken the most unexpected turn in my lifetime is what I refer to as 'the device formerly known as the cell phone.' I still remember many predictions that by 2000 there would only be about a million cell phone users. Boy, were they ever wrong!

It is a fantastic initiative by the ministry to develop Aakash Tablet, a mobile device that can be utilised by students anywhere. It was successfully tried out. The second and third versions have come out and the fourth version is on the anvil.

I would love to have some sort of 'Back To The Future' Delorean time machine travel device so I could go back to 1981 to see that very first Jackson 5 concert I went to, back when I was a kid.

An astrolabe is relatively unknown in today's world. But, at the time, in the 13th century, it was the gadget of the day. It was the world's first popular computer. And it was a device that, in fact, is a model of the sky.

For much of Toyota's history, we have ensured the quality and reliability of our vehicles by placing a device called an andon cord on every production line - and empowering any team member to halt production if there's an assembly problem. Only when the problem is resolved does the line begin to move again.

The discovery of the Quantized Hall Effect (QHE) was the result of systematic measurements on silicon field effect transistors - the most important device in microelectronics.

Metrics are not a device for restraining the mad, any more than 'open form' or free verse is a prairie where a man can do all kinds of manly things in a state of wholesome unrestrictedness.

In my humble opinion, the PC as we have known it is in a continuous decline and being relegated to a utility device for businesses.

Immortality Device has been tested and researched by medical researchers all over the world from time to time. They email me and told me what they found. I post their results sometimes on my site.

Think of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.' It is equally intoxicating for children and adults. All this 'crossover' talk is something publishers are using as a selling device - a kind of post hoc rationalisation of what was happening already.

Historically, the French have had a romantic attachment to their bikes. Though the first functioning two-wheeler is thought to have been invented by a German in 1817, it was the French who popularized and marketed the device in the 1860s, giving it the name 'bicycle.'

I developed a counterterrorism device that's revolutionizing the way we detect nuclear materials.

There's a wire injected under my skin a few days before an event and connected to that is a wireless transmitter. That device communicates my blood-glucose levels to the receiver unit, which is mounted above my steering wheel.

Think about technological float: it took centuries for the wheel to gain universal acceptance. Now any microchip device can be in use around the world in weeks.

The average American returning from a trip abroad likely - and understandably - assumes the contents of his or her electronic device does not come close to meeting the threshold of 'criminal' activity, such as would give a government agent the right to seize and peruse their iPad just because they are returning from a vacation.

I'm involved in everything from a nutraceutical company to a pharmaceutical company to a medical device company. My whole world revolves around health, and I feel it's my responsibility, in a way, and I say it this way, and I don't take this lightly.

The accumulated knowledge of materials, computing, electromagnetism, product design, and all the rest that we've learned over the last several centuries converts a few ounces of raw materials worth mere pennies into a device with more computing power than the entire planet possessed fifty years ago.

The medical device tax repeal is the only proposal that had the most bipartisan votes coming out of the House and has the opportunity in the Senate to gain tractions, and it fixes a part of ObamaCare in terms of repealing an awful tax. And it's got bipartisan support.

There's been a big evolution since the days of personal computing. People had a concept of one computing device per family or maybe per person. We've clearly evolved to computing devices becoming more personal.

Our information lives will be better served when we are free to get to our information from wherever we are, with any device available.

'Puzzlejuice' will get your brain juices flowing as try to juggle both falling boxes and a growing list of letters to create words from. There are power ups to unlock and massive explosions that will shake your mobile device to its very core if you are quick enough with your fingers and your thoughts.

Google Now is one of those products that to many users doesn't seem like a product at all. It is instead the experience one has when you use the Google Search application on your Android or iPhone device (it's consistently a top free app on the iTunes charts). You probably know it as Google search, but it's far, far more than that.

My most memorable food challenge was probably the Big Texan in Amarillo. All the big executives called me because it was such an iconic challenge, and a victory in that would be a legitimizing device for myself as much as for the show.

When Apple introduced its game-changing iPhone in 2007, Nokia was caught sleeping on the job. Although it had actually developed an iPhone-style device - complete with a color touchscreen, maps, online shopping, the lot - some seven years earlier. Astonishingly, it never released the product.

I know that my tendency is to be linear, and I'm trying to find ways to subvert that. And so in 'Bellocq's Ophelia' my device for subverting it was to tell the story and then to tell it again; it always circles back to this one moment, and it's not linear, but it's round in that way, and much of 'Native Guard' is like that.

How many times have you been watching an episode of 'South Park' and thought, 'I'd like to be able to watch this on my television while hooked into my mobile device, which is being controlled by my tablet device which is hooked into my oven, all while sitting in the refrigerator?'

At the height of Iraq's clandestine nuclear weapons program, which nearly succeeded in building a bomb in 1991, Tuwaitha incorporated research reactors, uranium mining and enrichment facilities, chemical engineering plants and an explosives fabrication center to build the device that detonates a nuclear core.

I've been writing all these books that have been largely autobiographical and yet, really, they don't tell you anything about me. I just use my life story as a kind of device on which to hang comic observations. It's not my interest or instinct to tell the world anything pertinent about myself or my family.

I was really ambitious, so I was innovative. I was one of the first DJs to do live calls, 'cause I found this phone device that would pick up other people's voices.

One of the things we've always strived to do was position this as a new portable entertainment device that obviously plays games, but has so much more to offer,

One of the big benefits of an enterprise CRM solution is the ability to access vital customer data, regardless of device or locale. Onyx customers in the United States, Europe or Japan can now access and leverage customer data in real time. This is of great interest not only to our enterprise-level Japanese customers, but also to our multi-national customers with worldwide operations.

Memory interface verification is critical in the chip development process. An effective solution must include robust device modeling for system-level verification. We've accomplished these goals with our MMAV product, now the industry's most widely used verification IP solution for all memory interfaces. Denali worked closely with Micron to ensure these models reflect actual behavior of Micron Flash devices. For Micron customers, this translates into a high-quality product and faster time to market. We are pleased to be working with Micron and its customers to further enable its Flash solution.

We need a wireless mobile device ecosystem that mirrors the PC/Internet ecosystem, one where the consumers' purchase of network capacity is separate from their purchase of the hardware and software they use on that network. It will take government action, or some disruptive technology or business innovation, to get us there.

Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company.

Mobile entertainment is, without a doubt, the future of the phone. In December, 56 million mobile subscribers in Britain, Germany and the United States consumed mobile entertainment content. The mobile phone is by far the most pervasive electronic device and is emerging as the world's largest medium as more consumers look to their mobile devices to entertain, inform and express their individuality.

(Mobile phones are) a device that's synonymous with the person as opposed to fixed-line phones. It's inevitable that they're going to exploit that.

Motorola is hell-bent on making sure we have the hottest device in all form factors.

Software has to work with all carriers. People will want any application to work on any device on any network. Open standards will drive down costs. As the market matures, the technology will have to open up.

Security is important for cell phones because it is much more likely that a user will lose that device than a laptop or desktop computer.

Security remains one of the foremost inhibitors to expanding wireless application use in the enterprise. We expect that within the next 1-2 years, 50-65 percent of companies deploying wireless applications, many of which have been deployed with minimal security built-in, will acquire tools that secure and manage those applications. Moreover, with an increasing array of different device types and platforms in use, companies will concentrate on suites that provide maximum platform support while integrating into the existing non-mobile security capabilities enabled in most organizations. Products like Good Mobile Defense enable badly needed enhanced security in enterprise wireless deployments.

This was only a draft description that we sent to device manufacturers for the purpose of getting feedback. Our legal team reviewed the description and promptly revised it.

I am sure people will recall that at Magilligan camp ... an almost identical situation occurred as the one that seems to have occurred this morning, where a device was left there and a person who was an employee in the camp picked up the device and received very serious injuries as well on that occasion.

For Sony to succeed, they're going to have to come up with as compelling a link between the store and the device as Apple has.

If chick-lit really is taking a commercial battering, I'd suggest it's because the marketing has been done to death. Covering everything in girlie pink and putting chocolate in the title may once have been a clever Pavlovian device but now makes readers feel a bit sick.

I am excited to announce Opera's sharpened focus on bringing the full Web and open standards support to TVs, consumer electronics and other devices. Advances in broadband networks and device computing power have set the stage for an explosion in the number and variety of places we will see Opera powering Internet access.

I don't think it's realistic to expect someone to snap (with his left hand) and also be able to block with that right hand. I think we're going to be patient, let it heal and then it depends on what kind of restricted device on that hand.

I expect in 10 years you will still have a music player that is just good for music. I do not think you will have a single device for all forms of entertainment including video -- it is an experience issue.

If a driver has left and a customer calls, they can trickle the request to a cellular network over the device. Instead of warehouse workers pulling inventory from the warehouse for delivery using one device and drivers out of range using a cellular phone, each could use the integrated device, and the enterprise would only have to maintain a single infrastructure to support that.

I believe we're starting to see a shift ... from a debate primarily on the safety of the device to the appropriate use of the device, ... I think we're going to see things die down with the continuous legal and scientific evidence supporting our cause.

Cell phones are the lifeline for teenagers. They just can't imagine life without them, ... It's not just a communication device for teens; it's an entertainment device.

I have been fielding quite a few calls about Apple's filing of the 'Mobile Me' patent. Folks have been speculating about a phone from Apple for more than a year. Being that I am a wireless analyst, I don't follow Apple as closely as others do. What I do know though, is that we are not likely to know until Apple wants us to know. They are pretty good at big surprises. Do I think they are developing a phone? Probably. Probably somewhere in their labs, there are prototypes of phones. Whether or not they bring one to market commercially is another story. Whether or not they will do so on their own is another open question. Hard to imagine carrier subsidies on a device unless there are revenues to be earned through downloaded services and content.

Today content is locked to play back on one device. Now we have the freedom to enjoy content on whatever device consumers want to use.

Having a portable, personal Web device opens the door to a number possibilities, such as sharing and updating all kinds of information, in real-time.

We are focused on changing the economics of mobile email adoption with Nokia Business Center. As the leading mobile phone manufacturer in the world, we have the distinct advantage of being able to make a great mobile business device that can be used to make phone calls, do email, or use other applications. Considering 70 percent of people who use popular email devices also carry a mobile phone, the opportunity for us to provide one device and solution that perfectly addresses both the voice and data experiences is tremendous. In the current landscape, many industry players are going after a slice of the potential mobile email market. Nokia is going after the full 650 million corporate email inboxes. We want to knock down the barriers to mobilizing the entire corporate email market.

We made the decision to go down this path because we could see that Symbian was on the right track, ... Eighteen months ago, when we put the business plan together, there were still some question over the ownership of Symbian and whether the market share was going eventuate. But we made the bet that Symbian was going to be successful and we wanted to be part of that success. Now I think that is a forgone conclusion that Symbian will be successful. They are growing their customer base and the device volumes are getting into the very significant numbers.

We look forward to demonstrating the first integrated 10G PHY/EDC device at OFC. This integration, together with the device's onboard clock synthesizer and small inexpensive package, enables introduction of low cost 10GBASE-LRM optical modules.

If we all have to buy a new device for the home that's a combination of a TV and PC, Sears is the largest seller of home appliances today in America. Whatever that appliance is, it's going to require installation, which would leverage their home services business.

If we all knew what device was going to be the most effective way of getting content five years from now, we could retire. Everybody is competing to get the attention of people and get them to use their device to get content.

If the bag had, in fact, contained the explosive device that was anticipated, the bomb could have detonated several times over in the hour that the bag sat there.

If I tried to sum up the overall picture for the holidays into one word, it's 'convergence,' ... If you're shopping for electronics, the must-have product is a single device that can do a little bit of everything.

He had booked a ticket to fly from Manchester to Amsterdam in preparation for an onward flight to the United States on which the explosive device would be initiated,

He happens to have a device in his chest, but he still has a lot of heart,

Imagine in the future that we have the technology in your vehicle that can communicate to a box or a device posted alongside the road.

Underneath the covers I believe that Abbott wants to be a device player and for the first time they are making a real legitimate stand to become one. If Boston doesn't get Guidant, at this valuation, I think Abbott ultimately buys Boston.

My phone has become an all-in-one entertainment device and mobile games are an integral part of that. Mobile gaming is really hot right now and I'm excited to be part of this project.

My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get a new idea, I start at once building it up in my imagination, and make improvements and operate the device in my mind. When I have gone so far as to embody everything in my invention, every possible improvement I can think of, and when I see no fault anywhere, I put into concrete form the final product of my brain.

I was concerned first of all that people were using a device that wasn't proven and second of all, there was this issue of ozone generation. That's been recorded before. We know these generators generate ozone,

Linux provides mobile device manufacturers with a powerful platform and unmatched inter-operability, to deliver new capabilities in advanced handsets. In much the same way that the OSDL Carrier Grade Linux working group helped accelerate Linux adoption in telecommunications network infrastructure, we believe that MLI will create the ideal forum where device manufacturers, network operators and developers can focus specifically on Linux and open source applications, to move mobile handsets to the next level of functionality and profitability.

LOCK-AND-KEY, n. The distinguishing device of civilization and enlightenment.

That affects practitioners who don't accept assignment because patients will go somewhere else or just not get the device because they cannot afford the out-of-pocket expense.

Sprint gives customers the power to use their wireless phones to stay informed even when they're not at home or near a computer. The Housekeeping Channel is another useful tool our customers can access on the one device that's always with them -- their Sprint phone.

Sprint is the first carrier in the United States to deliver what customers want most in a wireless store, the instant gratification of downloading and owning their own personal collection of high-quality songs on a device that is always with them.

Our research has shown that people are looking for a device designed exclusively for immersive reading.

Patients and physicians need options to address early to moderate stage disc degeneration, ... Currently, many of these patients find themselves in a holding pattern, in limbo between prolonged, marginally effective conservative care and major surgical intervention. Our hope is that the Wallis device will provide relief to those patients and stop them from progressing toward total disc replacement or fusion.
