Users Quotations

There is one major problem with anti-virus software: It needs updating. Users cannot be relied upon to have even the anti-virus software in the first place, let alone be able or willing to pay for the updates.

Youthful social media users share their personal lives online, tweeting and posting everything from their relationship status to their current location to their latest purchases. Yet, when it comes to discussing deeper personal finance issues or seeking personal finance advice online, the majority of young adults typically shy away from the web.

I will fully engage myself to maintain CERN's excellence in all its attributes, with the help of everybody, including CERN Council, staff and users from all over the world.

I agree completely with my son James when he says 'Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything, while the former lights up knowledge'.

As users replace usage of the web with a mobile, app-centric ecosystem, the phone becomes the center of gravity. In this mobile world, Facebook is just one app on the phone.

If I make a good product and deliver value to users and to the world, the financial gains will come.

If we want users to like our software, we should design it to behave like a likeable person.

It's difficult to build services that are supposed to scale to, you know, 30, 50, 100 million users right off the bat because they got to be kind of tailored down; by definition, they have to be a little bit generic to speak to that large of an audience.

The Internet was invented in America but has found its largest number of users in China.

Ruby inherited the Perl philosophy of having more than one way to do the same thing. I inherited that philosophy from Larry Wall, who is my hero actually. I want to make Ruby users free. I want to give them the freedom to choose.

As users flock to Vine, Snapchat and, previously, Instagram, the social platforms are challenged to continue to be the primary provider of these services to the growing army of smartphone users.

I am regularly asked what the average Internet user can do to ensure his security. My first answer is usually 'Nothing; you're screwed'.

Path is a well designed app with a singular purpose. For users who solely want to share with a small group of friends, and share everything with the whole group, it is very effective. And of course, it is wonderfully designed. Just.me isn't better or worse, it's just very different. Just.me is a messaging application, not just a sharing app.

The Internet is a telephone system that's gotten uppity.

Wealth won't give you satisfaction; creating a good product that's well received by users is what matters most.

Our management team strongly believes that the key opportunity of our business does not only come from just the increase in terms of number of users but also how we continue to enhance the value of our platform for our users.

If multi-stakeholder Internet governance is to survive an endless series of challenges, its champions must commit to serving the interests and protecting the rights of all Internet users around the world, particularly those in developing countries where Internet use is growing fastest.

The 2 million people who work in the NHS and social care are also themselves patients and users. I know they all want to treat patients and users the way they and their families would want to be treated and that is the purpose of our reforms.

On scores of sites, users can upload illegal files of my books. As per 1998's toothless Digital Millennium Copyright Act, I bear the burden of discovering and reporting each theft.

The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.

With Digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allow an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do.

Sponsored stories are not a great way to monetize mobile traffic. The phone is way more of a publishing tool than a reading tool. The attention users pay to the streams on mobile is far less than on the desktop.

Madefire is igniting a new era by creating a modern, dynamic reading experience and bringing that to the millions of iPad users around the world.

If people use Chrome, we make less money on our service and that's fine by us because that is fair competition. I wouldn't put Google on a pedestal for competition, but they aren't telling users not to use OpenDNS.

It's my fond hope that social networks such as Facebook will help users broaden their perspectives by listening to a different set of people than they encounter in their daily life. But I fear services such as Facebook may be turning us into imaginary cosmopolitans.

Nowadays, anyone who cannot speak English and is incapable of using the Internet is regarded as backward.

Our users are trapeze artists, high school football coaches - I got cornered by a couple of theoretical physicists who said Dropbox lets them collaborate across the world and share their experiments' results. They were raving about how it's driving their research.

Just as we could have rode into the sunset, along came the Internet, and it tripled the significance of the PC.

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.

Proprietary software keeps users divided and helpless. Divided because each user is forbidden to redistribute it to others, and helpless because the users can't change it since they don't have the source code. They can't study what it really does. So the proprietary program is a system of unjust power.

It is users that are driving the networks with innovations on top of the networks and with innovations in the devices space. This is very healthy.

As more and more people reach the Internet by mobile phone, we should make sure users are getting the open access they believe they're paying for.

The idea of free software is that users of computing deserve freedom. They deserve in particular to have control over their computing. And proprietary software does not allow users to have control of their computing.

It's very hard to just have a pure form like a Hulu or a YouTube to be successful in China because our view is, users come to a platform; they really don't care whether it is professional or whether it's a user-generated, or it's premium, you see. They want to come to a big database to be able to find the content they want.

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.

When The Daily Muse initially wanted to launch a job board, our first ideas were insanely (and needlessly) complex. We wanted to integrate with social networks, gather rich personal data to build predictive algorithms, and put together numerous cool visualization tools before launching out to the world. We were just sure users would love it!

People's mouse clicks decide what businesses, services, and content succeed. Users have equal access to tiny businesses with viral ideas and blue-chip companies, allowing these enterprises to compete on their own merits. It's how so many small start-ups have been able to become Internet success stories.

Advertising is very simple in a lot of ways. Advertisers go where the users go, and users are choosing to spend a lot more time online.

I realize that Facebook today is a global success with more than 600 million users worldwide. But I also understand, maybe a bit sadly, that it is not for me. Perhaps it is because I am a bit too old? Or perhaps it is because I am more interested in exploring the epic text, which I have lived with for all my life.

The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom.

With the rapid growth of Internet users in China bringing online video into a new paradigm, the market scale we first envisioned as an online video website back in 2006 has grown significantly.

Today we have 1 billion users on the Net. By 2010 we will have maybe 2 billion.

The utmost thing is the user experience, to have the most useful experience.

The Internet is the Viagra of big business.

Technically, web browsers can control what users see, and sites using Javascript can overwrite anything coming from the original authors. Browsers heavily utilize Javascript to create an interactive Internet; sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Gmail could be crippled without it.

Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr are all 'User First, Brands Second' services. The brands are all over these services now. But for the most part, these services didn't do much to bring them. The engaged users did.

If Al Gore invented the Internet, I invented spell check.

Like almost every major infrastructure, the Internet can be abused and its users harmed. We must, however, take great care that the cure for these ills does not do more harm than good. The benefits of the open and accessible Internet are nearly incalculable, and their loss would wreak significant social and economic damage.

One thing is very clear from the chatter I see on Chinese blogs, and also from just what people in China tell me, is that Google is much more popular among China's Internet users than the United States.

One of the reasons there is reluctance among business users is that they have higher priorities.

One of the biggest issues all-in-one users face when scanning documents on their multi-function devices is the poor image quality. Kodak is addressing this issue head-on by integrating its image-quality features into a networked device that essentially performs similar functions as other multi-function devices when connected to a network.

Nearly all of the damage done to data by this virus will be done by end users panicking.

New technology advances are changing the way that fire detection is handled, but many dealers and users are unaware of how simple the technology is to implement, use and maintain.

Nineteen percent of homes in Western Europe are already 'cellular-only'; cellular operators should be encouraged to see that a further 18 percent of cellular users with fixed telephones are also considering disconnecting that fixed line.

Nineteen percent of homes in Western Europe are already cellular-only. Cellular operators should be encouraged to see that a further 18 percent of cellular users with fixed telephones are also considering disconnecting that fixed line. Younger users will be key targets for cellular operators, with older users in family units showing strong interest in triple plays and quad plays.

I would certainly recommend that users implement the vendor workarounds until a patch is made available. We feel that exploit code can and will be created.

Ninety-three percent of all activities starts with a search. Despite our best attempts to add those (community) features, our users want search.

Nobody is forcing anybody who is uncomfortable with the terms of service to use Facebook. Executives point out that Internet users have choices on the Web.

The PC is becoming very much an entertainment device.

One thing the government could do would be to increase the amount of butter that could be imported without tariff, and that would provide ice cream producers and other users some additional supplies of butter,

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.

No one cares how valuable your product is if its addressable market is small. The key isn't so much the number of users as it is the dollar size of the market.

One of the areas we wanted to focus on was to empower users more.

One in six Internet-using adults in the U.S., or 25 million people, have sold something online. The figure is higher for Web users who have access to broadband Internet connections.

None of this stuff is going to change things for users in the next 12 months.

None of this stuff is going to fly unless there is some sort of measure to protect the integrity of the network, ...

Online communities are one of those sticky applications where users come back again and again,

People who buy medicines marketed via spam messages are not only encouraging the spammers to send more of their nuisance emails, but are also potentially putting their lives at risk. Daniel Lin is unlikely to be sending any more spam, but there are plenty of other spammers out there prepared to make a quick buck with their unwanted marketing messages. All computer users should defend their email addresses with up-to-date anti-spam software, and remember to never buy goods marketed via spam.

Right now Linux on the desktop is siphoning workstation users from Solaris and HP-UX.

Network neutrality is a nearly indefinable concept. For instance, does network neutrality mean that network operators can't block spam? Should network operators be allowed to stop viruses from spreading? Should large users of peer-to-peer software be allowed unlimited bandwidth so service for other users is slower?

Network neutrality protects the ability of users to access the lawful content, applications, and services of their choice. In other words, it lets users determine who wins and loses in the marketplace, and that's the way it should be.

If they can deliver a good experience and be a resource, they will get users to come back and can go to advertisers and show their value,

When you consider that Symphony is currently limited to the niche of REO evictions and related post-foreclosure legal processes, reaching the 5,000 case mark in about a year's time is a good indicator of just how capable Symphony is, and of how well-received it has been. And, we are particularly pleased to have reached this milestone while maintaining a system uptime of over 99%, and with our users rating Symphony among the industry's best default-related technologies.

We need better options for securing the Internet. Instead of looking primarily for top-down government intervention, we can enlist the operators and users themselves.

We recommend that users shield themselves before addressing vulnerabilities, but in this case they can't apply a shield and are exposed to possible attack until the patch is applied.

We're simple-minded, the team at Hulu, which is, we think if we can obsess over quality and build a better mousetrap, that good things will happen. Users will adopt the service, advertisers will see great value in it, and that's what we're seeing.

We're giving Internet users total privacy, which they've never had before. We don't even ask you to trust us because even we don't know where you are browsing.

Since the beginning of December, we have seen a real pickup in the number of people who have been long-term BlackBerry users at least interested in what the other solutions are in the market.

Mission-critical data that goes missing could result in legal liabilities and regulatory compliance violations -- an intolerable situation. One would expect that security-conscious organizations would include tape encryption as a standard security defense. Unfortunately, this hypothesis simply isn't true. In a survey of 388 storage professionals, ESG found that only 7 percent of users reported that they always encrypt their backup data while 60 percent said that they never do. There will likely be many more instances of lost tapes, which may lead to embarrassing public disclosures and expensive notification efforts.

Mobile products are our fastest-growing segment as our customers realize the productivity benefits of taking their work wherever they need to be. These are all legitimate desktop replacements. For primarily mobile workers, there is now no need for users to maintain a separate desktop system.

Mobile search is an area of keen interest to both users and vendors.

Mobile users spend a significant amount of time away from their desk and are frustrated by their inability to stay connected to their e-mail. They have been waiting for technology to catch up and solve this problem.

Since we saw the first Sober worm back in October 2003, its author has tried to improve upon tried-and-tested tricks to dupe computer users into launching infected attachments. This latest worm purports to be a warning from CIA and FBI agents, accusing recipients of visiting illegal websites. Mocking the feds is a sure-fire way of goading the authorities, and you can't help but wonder whether the author is desperate to be caught.
