I rarely saw people sitting at computers producing real code wearing ties.

I am surprised at all the people in the high-tech industry focused on "making money"... If that's all they want to do, they should have a $100 printing press in their basements and they will truly "make money." Instead, if we focus all that energy on innovation, we'll change the world for the best.

Invention is the root of innovation. Innovation is the major force for change in the future.

The key word is flexibility, the ability to adapt constantly. Darwin said it clearly. People thought that he mainly talked about survival of the fittest. What he said was that the species that survive are usually not the smartest or the strongest, but the ones most responsive to change. So being attentive to customers and potential partners is my best advice--after, of course, perseverance and patience.

The biggest enemy is doubt. If you don’t believe in what you are doing, you aren’t going to make it.

Camera-phones are like nuclear power plants: bad people will turn them into evil, good people will put them to good use.

I build things that I think are exciting from a technology standpoint and will help make life easier, simpler and better for people.
