Tech Quotations

I have no people reporting to me and don't expect to. My competency is in the tech realm.

Learn computer science. It's extraordinarily helpful. I like recommending learning economics as well so they think in terms of business, they have rational frameworks for looking at the world, but yeah, computer science is an amazing way to get into, even if you want to be CEO, having a tech background is helpful.

I had never, ever drunk beer in high school, and by the time I got to Tech we were having these parties out in the cotton fields and getting so drunk. I was the champion beer drinker; suddenly I was pouring it down my throat... Insane! Insane!

India has long been an exporter of talent to tech companies... But it is India that's now undergoing its own revolution.

There is a lot of risk in the tech sector.

It's strange that we create tech and then we apply it to machines, when we could apply it to ourselves. Cars can now detect if something is behind them, but we don't have this ability. Why are we applying such a simple sense to a car when we could apply it to ourselves?

The tech industry - and, more specifically, Silicon Valley - continues to stumble forward in earnest about how few women are represented in its top ranks of management and on its boards.

I love listening to old school stuff. I listen to some new cats out here, but I'm really into, like, Tech N9ne and his clique; I really like Eminem and those guys - cats that got real flow: I really connect with that. But I do love rock. I love a lot of electronica because I love programming synthesizers.

There's a toxicity within gaming culture, and also in tech culture, that drives this misogynist hatred, this reactionary backlash against women who have anything to say, especially those who have critiques or who are feminists.

I went to a Cal Tech party after the 'Facebook' movie came out, and there were kids in dark rooms coding because it was cool again. That movie made it cool to sit in a room at a party and write code.

The emergence of a hardware product from an African company marks a phase-change point for tech invention. The BRCK shows that great ideas can come from anywhere, that innovation comes from solving real problems with constrained resources.

I have seen women who are very interested in tech finish their graduate or undergraduate degrees, but then choose not to pursue a career in tech because they're not sure they want to spend the next 20-30 years in an industry that's very male dominated.

I think like a Silicon Valley entrepreneur. Failure is a great teacher. At the same time, you must remember, success will never last... Whether it's tech or fashion, it must be for the customer.

Before I became a full-time writer, I worked in tech support in those giant cubicle farms you see. I was surrounded by people who played video games all the time - sometimes actually in the call centers, playing online multiplayer games. I saw friends of mine who began to feel that going online was more compelling to them than real life.

The secret is not to make a film that causes something like Virginia Tech to happen. The secret is to make a film that stops it happening.

When my hair is curly, I use Suave coconut conditioner. It's not a leave-in, but I use it like one. It is so light and really brings out my hair's curl. A lot of leave-ins are too heavy, but this one is just perfect. When it's straight, I love Frederick Fekkai Tech Shampoo & Conditioner and their Olive Oil glossing cream.

I'm a physicist and computer scientist by training. I worked in high tech for thirty years as everything from engineer to senior vice president - for many of those years, writing SF as a hobby - until, in 2004, I began writing full time.

Industries with rapid change are the enemy of the investor. Tech businesses, particularly biotech, is a problem from that point of view. All industries work with change, but you should ideally be investing in businesses with a low rate of change, not a high rate of change.

Dance music is about having a good time, and a lot of dance music is very serious now. When progressive house and progressive tech came along, it was kind of serious, but it's all context as well.

I think it's a competitive advantage that both Amazon and Google and other tech companies have over a lot of their counterparts. They take big risks and are pioneering new markets with the promise of big rewards. It's why Amazon is kind of reliably starting new businesses and opening kind of new frontiers.

With a lot of help from my high school teachers, I went to college and became a medical tech at a clinic outside Kansas City.

Providing better computer science education in public schools to kids, and encouraging girls to participate, is the only way to rewrite stereotypes about tech and really break open the old-boys' club.

Most buildings, whether they're Gothic cathedrals or Romanesque ones, were high tech for their time.

You know, my degrees are in computer engineering. I spent a lot of time in the tech industry. And I like to say that I don't invest in tech because I spent time in it. And I saw firsthand that the durability of technology moats is many times an oxymoron.

Luckily for both the tech industry and Hollywood, there is only one thing that counts - use of the Internet is still growing exponentially, as consumers shift to digital everything from analog.

Obama will win the 2012 election, thanks in part to the tech community rallying behind him due to issues like SOPA, visas, and free speech.

We don't know what the next generation of art is going to look like. We're kind of making it up as we go along. Not unlike the tech industry.

We have a huge tech following that do nothing but Digg tech stories, and then there's another pool of users that remove the tech section from their view of Digg, because you can go on and customize your own experience and remove sections you don't like.

I got lucky because my dad moved us to Silicon Valley before it really was known worldwide as an important tech hub.

Tech companies don't exist in a bubble; they draw from and feed into a larger community. Ideally, the relationship is symbiotic.

I knew tech was going to be increasingly important in my lifetime, so I focused on it early.

Normally, if you have a huge category that leads a bear market all the way down to the bottom - like tech after 2000, or energy in the '80-'82 bear market - you get one quick pop, and then years of lag as we fight the old war.

If a tech journalist needs financial security before doing what their conscience dictates, I'm not sure they should be calling themselves journalists at all.

Millennials' tech and global savvy will make them instrumental in shaping our mobile future worldwide.

I'm kind of a tech geek. With the camera work, I chose to shoot super 16, which has a real tactile feel. I feel it's as authentic as possible; I love the way the grain feels.

One of the cool things we're seeing at TaskRabbit is local tech and gaming startups hiring TaskRabbits to test their products and deliver immediate user feedback. As the founder of a tech startup, I can tell you that this type of focus group testing is paramount - and usually really pricey and difficult to coordinate.

I'm not as tech savvy as some YouTubers, but I'm a lot better than my grandparents. Whenever I have a technical question, or something isn't working, I ask Google, and that usually throws up the answer.

Those companies that don't see the black and brown communities are missing, out of their closed eye, talent, which leads to money and growth. When baseball, football and basketball couldn't see the field, they missed talent and growth. The same is true in the tech industry.

I've always wanted to get involved in the tech industry, but hadn't come across anything that really clicked for me.

It's no secret that in our society, and many before, people are trend followers. For some reason, they feel better about themselves if they are dressed in the latest fashion or have the newest tech gadget.

I remember flying in, driving down 101 in a cab, and passing by all these tech companies like Yahoo! I remember thinking, 'Maybe someday we'll build a company. This probably isn't it, but one day we will.'

More tech companies ought to be paying dividends.

More companies in the tech sector are instituting and raising dividends. That's good for investors who are value oriented and realize that a dividend is a piece of a return,

My advice would be to be careful, to tread slowly here. A lot of what is rallying is the beaten-down tech stocks.

One of the real risks with tech stocks is a company that doesn't recognize it's no longer a rapid-growth business. But many have recognized that and are being more share shareholder-friendly with their cash.

Personally I think there's only one school that can't lose -- Oklahoma. I think anybody else can get beat. Just to win is hard. I mean, Virginia Tech goes to Temple and sneaks out on a missed extra point. How can FSU go to Clemson and lose like they did? Every week, you've got those upsets. I think it speaks volumes for what TCU has done.

One of the first things Reggie asked Patrick was what Virginia Tech looked like on defense. It tells you that he feels like he's going to be back pretty quickly.

My grades weren't what they should have been, so they sent me back to the ninth grade. I was glad, because I wanted to study music, and Cass Tech was second only to Juilliard. We studied all kinds of music, harmony and orchestration.

Shutterstock has the tech ethos. Rex has the relationships, packaging, and merchandising know-how.

One thing that will hurt international tech companies is that we don't expect the dollar to weaken much more so year-over-year revenue gains are going to be a lot tougher to come by.

One lesson I've learned (in this production) is that the real gospel message of the cross, the blood and the resurrection is as powerful as it ever was, but the way it is presented from one generation to the next is vitally different. This being a sight and sound generation, we have to go more toward the dramatic and tech approach to get their interest.

Maybe handset sales in China are okay but that's not enough for the U.S. tech market to rally on. Companies here are still cutting capital expenditures.

My family know not to get me any tech for Christmas. I can never get it to work, and it all becomes very tearful and pressurised.

Nobody we've played this season, ... has come with this much size, this much talent and this much experience. North Carolina and Georgia Tech probably have the most overall talent. Now that they're healthy, they're probably believing they can do it.

Next week's market is going to be big for tech companies. As long as the Nasdaq powers ahead, we're going to see more and more filings.

Next week we have a raft of earnings in the tech sector, with STM, Philips and Nokia. We have got to see evidence that if the bad news is not turning into good news, then at least the bad news is slowing,

Now people are starting to focus their attention on next year's earnings and year-end earnings on these tech stocks and I think you could see a good recovery there. Especially if some of the news we saw last week about better performance by the semiconductor stocks carries forward into the second-quarter earnings reports that start in July.

Now, you don't have to have a high school diploma to go to community college. Kids can go to tech schools. They might be called a dropout when they're not.

Now you've got the herd mentality rushing to the fore. This whole thing is nothing more than a reality check: it's a warning shot across the bow of the tech sector. The day traders and the tech-heavy investors, I think, are a little scared right now.

Obviously, beating Tech is important, but just playing good was important. Moreau was outstanding, and we played a complete game.

Oakland's time is coming. In fact, Oakland's time is already here. Tech is coming to Oakland, and it's terribly exciting.

Now they have a pretty strong portfolio. This is a powerful tech story for the company, and they need that.

People won't remember the small little losing streak that we had. They wouldn't think that the game we had against Virginia Tech was a fluke. I think it would put an exclamation point on the whole season and be a good way to start the new one.

People weren't expecting good news from Sun, so it's not a surprise, but there's been some enthusiastic tech news recently and you need a string to keep that going. Sun didn't provide that, and in fact they countered that, so people are backing off a little bit.

Obviously the tech stocks have been hit hard over the last few weeks, but I don't think most people realize that this actual downdraft began in September of 1995, ... These stocks have been getting hit now for 6 consecutive quarters and they have underperformed the market. I think most of its coming to an end.

Obviously, the tech wreck has some effect on the consumer because the slowdown has affected (spending). The Fed has less work than we had thought before.

Obviously I'm very happy to be here. Georgia Tech is a special place, and I'm looking forward to many more years here.

Obviously it has to do with the puncture in the balloon in the tech world.

Retail sales numbers were stronger than expected, and that shows that consumer are still spending, and I think that is weighing on the market today and it should. But it's not weighing on the Nasdaq, where you're seeing those really good earnings reports. People really regard tech as the place to make money.

Right now it seems to be the tech stocks that are doing well.... Their share prices aren't overpriced now. It's not really a novel theme, but investors seem to be putting money into stocks that have taken a bit of a breather.

Net neutrality is a concept that the tech industry rallies around, but it is hypocrisy.

Nobody felt sorry for Virginia Tech when they were 0-6, and nobody's gonna feel sorry for us that we lost four in a row. It's important to understand that it's a man's league and we've gotta keep working.

I didn't really have anything else to compare Tech to. I gathered all the information I could to make a smart decision.

I have had numerous interviews with reporters who called looking for quotes about tech bargains. I always explain that we believe the best values today are in growing companies outside of the technology sector....To these reporters, it defies common sense that stocks that have declined 80 percent or more are not yet 'values.' That is a testament to how powerful and unprecedented the technology mania was. Even after such large price declines, most of these stocks are still not cheap.

If we play like Virginia Tech plays, we'll win the football game. Be efficient, hard-nosed, tough, chasing the football, playing aggressively. Now if we get a bunch of penalties like we did in the first half, we're not going to win.

If we can get five tech companies out of that, we'll be happy.

If they beat Duke, they've got to be considered seriously for the NCAA. It would be tough at 7-9 (in the ACC during the regular season). We went 8-8 at Georgia Tech one year and didn't go.

Many of the large-cap tech stocks, including Intel, are undervalued. Any move strengthening their position in the market, makes their stocks more attractive.

Lots of money has moved to the sidelines, ... People are not comfortable with the uncertainty ahead, made up of the fact that many of the tech companies keep lowering their guidance.

We need to market the program and sell tickets by making the city notice Georgia Tech and all that good things that are happening on campus.

We need dollars being spent again, ... Most recessions always end because the consumer turns. I think a lot of it is going to be in the tech sector and the tech recovery. Most companies weren't spending on tech as they've been just desperately trying to make their quarterly numbers.

We're confident about the longer-term prospects for the fund. Although it may not keep up with its more aggressive peers in a tech rally, we think its attention to long-term cash flow generation can help it in a slower-growth environment, when an earnings miss can send a richly priced stock reeling.

We're excited and at the same time we have to start getting prepared. I'm looking forward to having a game in southern California. Texas Tech will be huge here, with a really exciting atmosphere. New Mexico State is always fun. Now, though, we will just have to focus on getting better in February. Then March.

Libraries have a PR problem - or at least that's what they call it when no one under the age of 40 walks through the door. To bring in a younger crowd, the paper pushers have turned to tech to bring in the public. DVDs, CDs and, yes, even videogames are hitting the shelves of your local library.

Let the tech firms and consulting firms build your skills, but be sure to ask yourself, 'Am I maximizing my impact?' 'Am I living up to my values?'

Much of what we've gained out of Comanche we can push forward into the tech base for future joint rotor-craft kinds of capabilities, as we look further out,

Since the minute the Auburn game ended, there were a lot of questions from the press - 'Can you follow this up?' Tech is 1-3 in games following an upset of a Top 25 team under Gailey, so it's certainly been a problem ... but I think right now there are enough senior leaders on this team that have seen what happened in the past and are determined not to let that happen again. If they lose this game it's not going to be because they weren't focused and ready to play.

McAfee is honored to have Tech Data as a customer, to receive this year's Difference Maker award and to be recognized by Tech Data among so many distinguished IT Vendors, ... During 2005, McAfee and Tech Data have collaborated on numerous initiatives that will increase the overall sales experience for our reseller community, and we are committed to building on this momentum during 2006.

Most of the software ideas of the late '90s which people tried and failed on--customer relationship management, marketing analytics, supply chain management, B2B procurement--those ideas all made sense and had good business justifications. But the tech wasn't quite there. Many customers who bought early feel bitter. But at some point those things will hit the mainstream and work.

Most tech companies are excited about the opportunities in front of them, maybe more excited than they should be. It's more likely that tech companies paying dividends already may increase them as opposed to many tech companies paying new dividends.

She got out of tech stocks a year ago and bought a new Beetle, ... She paid cash for it, and now she's looking at a PT Cruiser.

She got out of tech stocks a year ago and bought a new Beetle. She paid cash for it, and now she's looking at a PT Cruiser.

We had chances at Nos. 3 and 5. We just needed to close out the second set, and we could have gone up 3-2. We would have been one point away. Texas Tech did a great job extending the matches to win.

When I was a young man in the 1970s, tech firms were scattered across the developed world. Since then, America has come to dominate tech almost totally.

Many of the blue-chips in tech are doing well. We're in good position to have a nice first quarter.

Solid tech companies are not overpriced at all,

Semiconductors and software have been the leadership for the past few months, so when there's tech selling now, they tend to lose support first. But we're at the top of a range, technically, so we're going to see some selling for the next two or three sessions.

SIM Tech will now be able to expand their product portfolio to include advanced 3G wireless solutions that enable users to be connected and mobile, giving them access to necessary applications wherever they may be.

Silicon Valley isn't the only game in town. Tech is increasingly decentralized. Around the world, new tech centers with younger companies are able to embrace a different approach to talent: recruit locally, identify homegrown prospects and, in a phrase, bring them along for the ride.

Silver Lake has been unquestionably the most successful of the current wave of tech buyout groups. They have shown that despite the apparent risks of these deals, considerable money can me made.
