There's no platform for an unsigned music scene in the main cities - it's all hyped acts or showcases behind closed doors. I read about artists that are doing it 'the old-fashioned way' and touring, as if that's a unique thing to do - well, that should just be the way it is.

In high school I had some famously egregious fashion missteps. I was really out there in fashion, I think because I wanted attention. I would wear crazy patterns, skin-tight pants and giant platform shoes.

I ran on the platform of moderation and won the election by a large margin. By virtue of the strong mandate that I received from the electorate, I am committed to operating in the framework of moderation, which calls inter alia for a balance between realism and the pursuit of the ideals of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Formally, I did my studies in the sciences, but I was very conscious that I was being deprived of culture. While studying neuroscience, I was running a rock-music festival and was able to use that as a platform to explore what it takes to produce art for 20,000 inebriated 20-somethings.

People remember my last name because it's different, and people remember me in meetings because I dress differently from other people just because I'm a woman.

Allowing a handful of broadband carriers to determine what people see and do online would fundamentally undermine the features that have made the Internet such a success, and could permanently compromise the Internet as a platform for the free exchange of information, commerce, and ideas.

When you run a platform on scale, you have to make sure it's truly open. That way, not only do you do well, so do others.

I don't believe in a golden mean; I don't believe you find policy wisdom between two polar points. I don't dismiss that possibility, but I look at the platform that's so ideologically based, that's so dismissive of facts, of evidence, of science, and it's frankly hard to take seriously.

I do not want to be president because I am a woman. Being a woman is important, but it's not the most important. I want to be president because we have the talent and the platform and the vision of a Mexico that we want for all Mexicans, not only for a select few.

We can't all be like Ryan Seacrest... the perfect platform manifestation of a human. I don't know if we all have those gifts for restraining our emotions... or whatever it is he does.

YouTube has become more mature, both as a platform and as a community.

I view music as entertainment. When I'm on stage, I don't look at that as a platform for sharing ideology. Otherwise I'd be a zealot myself. That's why, when people ask me, 'Do you think you can change the world through your music?' I say, 'I doubt it.'

Al Qaeda is nothing more than a mutant supply chain. They're playing off the same platform as Wal-Mart and Dell. They're just not restrained by it. What is al Qaeda? It's an open source religious political movement that works off the global supply chain. That's what we're up against in Iraq. We're up against a suicide supply chain.

When the Beatles first came out, you had to go to a certain amount of trouble to have long hair. You just couldn't have it immediately.

We started off as this platform inside Facebook; and we were pretty clear from the beginning that that wasn't where it was going to end up.

One of the saddest things a creator has to deal with in this industry is when a product is now impossible to play. Not because it's a bad game, but because the platform doesn't exist anymore. We've been prolific trying to bring back landmark products, and our approach in the past has been to update the graphics. But I think this time we did the right thing. Command & Conquer is an event, it's one of the most successful franchises ever done, and it would be very inappropriate to modify it.

Nine will need to seriously rebuild to maintain their premium. But more than anything, this is a great result for Seven. The momentum is clearly with them and it has continued into the start of this year with the tennis, which is again proving a great promotional platform for upcoming programs.

I wouldn't say that it's all about the day labor site. I think people take into account the whole platform of a candidate.

One way to entice people away from solutions they've used is to go to market with a good quality product. You also create a low-cost or no-cost system that people can experiment with. More importantly, you offer a platform that offers very low entry-level expenses for developers to start playing with.

Only a proxy infrastructure has the power to simultaneously control, protect and accelerate Web communications and applications. We're pleased the State of Alabama chose Blue Coat to help make its Web environment and Internet use safe, productive and with the highest quality and responsiveness. Located in the network between users and the Internet, Blue Coat proxy appliances are an ideal platform for state, local or federal government organizations implementing comprehensive security and control for all types of Web communications.

We're excited by the level of innovation and ingenuity that all of the entrants demonstrated. The eBay Developer Challenge 2006 winners offer buyers and sellers the ability to access the eBay marketplace from wherever they might be, extending the eBay platform in ways previously unimagined. They are all great examples of how innovative developers and affiliates can create viable businesses using eBay Web Services while taking the eBay user experience to a whole new level.

We're excited by the success of WhatsApp on top of Android. Amazon brings services like Kindle on top of Android. It's a competitive world and a lot more complex than people realize.

Much like eBay and other sites, this move provides a platform for everyday users to participate in utilizing the Internet in a commercial way while providing a service to the community at-large. Under this new structure, Expert and Elite rank users will enjoy a high level of control over the sponsored links being presented on their user pages, including their content, appearance, quantity, promotion, even their costs to advertisers.

McCain wants to make the GOP move in the direction of his issues, particularly campaign finance reform. There are two issues he'll squabble with Republican leadership on. First is his bitterness toward Bush for the attack ads from South Carolina on. Second, he can make the issue that he drew new voters into the party, and that the party will have to incorporate his platform if it wants to keep those voters.

MPU was a great platform for emotional drama and Australian stories.

Since we are a very image-intensive delivery mechanism, Linux will be the platform of choice for serving up all those images. We believe we have enough capacity to meet the industry standard of eight seconds of delivery time up to around 30 million page views per day.

Shoes? I have loved them all: '60s pumps; white Courreges ankle boots; platform soles from the first time around, in the '70s; more boots - ankle, calf, and knee-high; 1980s sneakers; pin heels and wedges; Mary Janes and stilettos.

She's not ducking what happened. This is a platform to show the reformed Martha to the world.

She will not brag on herself. That's true. It's hard to get her to brag. The attention she's gotten, the awards she's received, she uses those as a platform to talk about issues that she thinks are important, not for self-aggrandizement.

I can tell you that the cooperation that we have is unprecedented in this case, and we feel very comfortable that the platform that we've developed, and the cooperation that we've received from the other jurisdictions, is exactly what we need to be able to pursue this case successfully.

Freedom is a great demonstration of how the Opera Platform mobile AJAX authoring environment can help operators, handset manufacturers or content providers create compelling user-oriented premium services that are not hindered by the limitations of WAP and GSM/GPRS data transfer speeds. AJAX has become very popular on the Mac/PC platform, and it makes even more sense in the mobile space as it enables the creation of Web based services that are so fast they seem like local applications.

Fundamentally, it's a shift from Office as a bag of tools to a platform that companies use to run their business.
