John Fowler Quotations

I think we are in the first two years of six.

Today there are hundreds of millions of mobile devices, but you do have to know a bit about what each device is capable of doing in order to approach it as a developer.

We have notions of blades that might be somewhat more powerful than what IBM will think about it.

We're certainly going to get there faster. It helps our time frame.

We decided to get much more serious about the industry-standard server market.

Today, Web services is really about developing for the server. What it means to developers is any set of systems services that you make a Web service you to access by any kind of device with a highly interactive client, not just a browser.

The simplicity of language, the sparseness of the word on the page, the way a few words stretch my mind across big spaces all this is here.

We are going to bill them as the fastest, most energy-efficient and reliable x86 servers in the industry. We have aimed these three servers at the bull's eye in the industry-standard market.

During my early years, ... we tried to do everything in the least expensive way possible our public improvements, grading. There was even an aversion to charging developers any amount of money (for public facilities). If we can't do it ourselves, we said, we shouldn't charge the developers.

San Diego has always had a champagne appetite and a beer budget,

Sun's role in the grand scheme of development is to work on the runtime environment and the APIs. The tools we produce are much more for systems programmers, not enterprise developers.

He (Yen) has got a new-age processor going into a hungry, installed base. I've got a great x86 system that can run any operating system.

In the new global economy, speed-to-results is a fundamental component in getting ahead of the competition. This dynamic has led to the emergence of a new set of technologies and business models designed to harness the aggregated power of clustered compute resources and to provide access through service-oriented methods. We're on the verge of seeing these technologies become the basis for the next generation IT infrastructure. This publication will introduce you to some of these technologies and help you determine the best solutions for your organization.

I don't know if the market can match the $200-plus billion in sales that occurred in 2006, but there is still a lot of capital that is attracted to real estate.

The challenge is always going to be software. The primary issue is availability of applications to get to broader and broader segments. Also, most companies do not have the technical capabilities to run high performance computing facilities of their own. It takes a lot of power and data center space.

There's a lot of back and forth on the product roadmaps. We go to AMD and say we'd like the following changes in your product road map. None of these are exclusive, but they take those along with others and go to work on the product roadmap,
