Great CEOs are not just born with shiny hair and a tie.

Whatever you're selling, storage or networking or security, you're going head to head with the incumbent players.

Innovation accelerates and compounds. Each point in front of you is bigger than anything that ever happened.

Skype has a great engineering team, which I like to describe as 'all of Estonia.'

More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services - from movies to agriculture to national defense.

A very large percentage of economic activity is shifting online and it makes sense that there are more services that are going to charge. It also means there are going to be more people willing to pay.

Technology is like water; it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers, it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.
