User Quotations

Things that we need to learn are the importance of establishing brand, establishing market presence. Technology-wise, it's things like ease of use, user interfaces; all of these things that tend to be less important in our other business segments are important things for us in the consumer market.

I think then, when we started receiving the first of the user feedback, feedback from people that I had not specifically told about it, but had spread from friend to friend and then they were giving us feedback.

This is where the world is going: direct access from anywhere to any type of data, whether it's a small piece of data or a small answer but a long algorithm to create that answer. The user doesn't care about this.

Working with lots of old media clients, I've had a front-row seat on the ascension of new social players and the decline of traditional news outlets.

I have done a pretty good job of partitioning my life digitally, posting utterances and stories that I'm happy to share with anyone on Twitter, leaving a few sparse comments and 'Likes' on Facebook (I'm not a huge user of the service, I'll be honest), and sending any number of photos to thousands of 'followers' on Instagram and Tumblr.

I'm not of the opinion that all software will be open source software. There is certain software that fits a niche that is only useful to a particular company or person: for example, the software immediately behind a web site's user interface. But the vast majority of software is actually pretty generic.

Historically, software for business was seen as unsexy because the products were seen as so poor - they provided such a poor user experience.

As languages go, English is pretty user friendly. If you look at a tiny language spoken somewhere that most of us have never heard of, chances are it's going to be so complicated that you have a hard time imagining how people can walk around speaking it without having a stroke.

I not only work online through my various projects, but I am an avid user of online technologies to connect and engage with friends as well.

At any time of day, hundreds of different versions of Facebook are running on the Internet - with a changed color here, a moved button there - and the user response to each variation is measured. And the same is done with advertising.

Well, user feedback was excellent. Even when the software didn't work at all, there were few people who were avid users, and there were people who were just sending excellent feedback and excellent ideas.

Things that are ultimately complex must have a simple end user experience if they are to be successful.

At KaBOOM! we are crowd-sourcing a nationwide Map of Play that uses GIS data and user rankings to identify where the engaging playgrounds are located, but more importantly, where they are not.

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.

One of O'Reilly's advantages is that we have a network of thousands of user groups to whom we give free books, to whom we advertise our products, and they spread the word. If you don't have that database, it's hard to get the attention of the market.

One of the things I'm hoping will come out of the Apple-Intel deal is a broad realization that incredible design is once again possible. Over the years the hardware OEMs have consistently used Intel and Microsoft as reasons they can't build really cool products. Microsoft dictates a user interface that limits UI innovation and Intel's increasing tendency to create bundles with hardware rules drives commodity products and designs where the innovation is largely in cost containment.

One of the things we're interested in is attentive user interfaces. These are interfaces that pay attention to you as you pay attention to them.

One important finding is the emphasis on business skills. There has always been a need for that, but now employers want IT workers to have industry knowledge and business skills from the start. Computer science is very technical by design, but two of the more popular areas in demand are systems analysis and systems design, both of which are customer-facing positions that require user interaction and communications skills.

One area of interest to us is identity management. One technology that we would be interested in looking at is smart-card technology with respect to accessing IT services. We're interested in using smart cards for user log-ins.

More important than this temporary alignment is the fact that the indicators are going in the same direction and have been doing so for several months. The Katrina period seems to have been the low point and we interpret the trend as the slow accommodation to the reality of higher oil prices. We also like seeing user expectations in line with vendor revenue forecasts.

No one should install any software without telling the computer user before doing it. Burying it in a disclosure document that is not read by 99.9 percent of users is not an excuse.

People working on different pieces of code--the user interface versus the back-end business logic--can work together to debug how they work together.

Obviously, this company is a big user of energy. Oil shouldn't have been at 11 a year ago. It shouldn't be at 34 now. It will eventually settle at a price that will let UPS do very well.

When you break down the barriers between communications, every IM user is able to send and receive more messages, which means they'll be spending a little more time on their messenger, and get a few more impressions.

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.

Mirapoint's multi-layered approach to spam, including its unique MailHurdle technology, was the ideal solution for Jayman's spam problem. By blocking spam at the edge of the network, then filtering for content, Mirapoint demonstrated high accuracy rates -- ensuring executives aren't spending hours each day searching for 'lost' email. The simplicity of an appliance with robust user controls and high accuracy rates made the switch to Mirapoint nearly invisible to end-users. All they noticed was better email.

The owner of such a search stream possesses a powerful asset, once user attributes may be calculated to determine how they relate to the target market.

GUI (Graphical User Interface) is always intuitive to those who design it.

Given recent activity, McAfee AVERT Labs forecasts that attackers may attempt to test the viability of exploiting this vulnerability en masse, by producing a reconnaissance Trojan to identify a vulnerable user base.

There's plenty of room for improvement and Puma hopes to address those design issues.

I think it's a good decision. They can't afford to cut any more features to make a 2006 date. The features that need the most testing, frankly, are enterprise features related to the core of the product, like user account control and how it will lock down services to make them less vulnerable to a worm.
