All we're really doing is repeating technologies that were tried 10, 20, 30 years ago... it's just that it was too expensive, too unusable, and we didn't have the enabling technologies to make it possible.

Modularize, don't customize. Build a platform as opposed to building all of the custom technology and custom vertical experiences.

I'm certainly not into money and prestige. For me there is simply nothing more exciting than people involved in the creation of great products. That is what drives me.

Better to be right about the trend and wrong about the implementation, than the other way around.

The best technology is aimed far enough in the future that it stands out, but close enough to the present that it blends in.

Start with something simple and small, then expand over time. If people call it a 'toy' you're definitely onto something.

Always look for these changing technology factors- any market that has a significant change in the underlying raw materials ...or enabling factors, is an environment that is about to change in a very significant way.
