My grandfather was an autoworker, and I have a weapon he manufactured to protect himself from the company that he would carry to work. It's a big iron pipe with a hunk of lead on the head. I think about how far we've come as companies from those days, where workers had to protect themselves from the company.

Almost everyone who has had an idea that's somewhat revolutionary or wildly successful was first told they're insane.

Especially in technology, we need revolutionary change, not incremental change.

Being negative is not how we make progress, and the most important things are not zero sum.

If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.

I have always believed that technology should do the hard work - discovery, organization, communication - so users can do what makes them happiest: living and loving, not messing with annoying computers! That means making our products work together seamlessly.

For a lot of companies, it's useful for them to feel like they have an obvious competitor and to rally around that. I personally believe it's better to shoot higher. You don't want to be looking at your competitors. You want to be looking at what's possible and how to make the world better.
