“I read Google News and use NetNewsWire to keep up with general and tech news.”

My dream was actually just to have a computer some day. If I’d imagined that it meant starting a company to sell them, I probably would have avoided the whole thing.

Steve Jobs had very strong feelings about what makes a company great, what makes products great. He more or less chose Tim Cook to be in that role, in that position.

Somebody who’s designing something for himself has at least got a market of one that he’s very close to.

I learned not to worry so much about the outcome, but to concentrate on the step I was on and to try to do it as perfectly as I could when I was doing it.

Atari is a very sad story.

Back in high school I told my dad, “I’m going to have a computer someday.” And he said that it cost as much as a house-the downpayment on a house. And I said, “Well, I’ll live in an apartment.”

Imagination is something you do alone.

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.

I really believe I know why my designs were better than any other human being, but I don’t want to take credit for starting Apple, for turning the world around or anything like that.

Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such.

You know what, Steve Jobs is real nice to me. He lets me be an employee and that’s one of the biggest honors of my life.

I went – I had designed – in high school designed hundreds and hundreds of computers over and over and over, so I developed these skills without ever thinking I’d do it in life as job.

Predictions can sound really good if you’re good with words and can express them eloquently and give people ideas and inspiration in their head. But I’m not really good at that, so I don’t want to.

I worked with such concentration and focus and I had hundreds of obscure engineering or programming things in my head. I was just real exceptional in that way

After the Apple II was introduced, then came the Commodore and the Tandy TRS-80.

Every dream I’ve ever had in life has come true ten times over.

To control and enslave the minds of men, all one must do is convince them that a secret exists, and that he is privy to information regarding that secret; hence the power of priests and psychics.

The ‘well-informed citizenry is in danger of becoming the ‘well-amused audience’.

If you create incredible value and information for others that can change their lives – and you always stay focused on that service – the financial success will follow.

There has never been a master plan. Anyone who wanted to do it, we fired because it takes on a life of its own and doesn’t cover new reality. We want people taking into account new information.

The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.

We are witnessing a seismic change in consumer behavior. That change is being brought about by technology and the access people have to information.

We all know a lot about something. We all have a passion about something.

It seems likely that most if not all the genetic information in any organism is carried by nucleic acid – usually by DNA, although certain small viruses use RNA as their genetic material.
