Steve Ballmer

• The number one good thing about information technology is that it empowers people to try and do what they wantto do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn’t think they might learn before, then during a sense it's all about potential.
• There’s nothing that flows through a pipe or down a wire or the rest. we've to continuously create new innovation that lets people do something they didn’t think they might do the day before.
• We can believe that we all know where the planet should go. But unless we’re in-tuned with our customers, our model of the planet can diverge from reality. There’s no substitute for innovation, of course, but innovation isn't any substitute for being to bear, either.

Michael Dell (Founder of Dell Computers)

• I like to inform folks that all of our products and business will undergo three phases. There’s vision, patience, and execution.
• Accessible design is sweet design.
• So, i feel the output of our innovation is great. we've a culture of self-improvement. i do know we will still improve. there's no issue. But at an equivalent time, our absolute level of output is astounding .
• Google’s not a true company. It’s a house of cards.

• All companies of any size need to still push to form sure you get the proper leaders, the proper team, the proper people to be fast acting, and fast paced within the marketplace. We’ve got great leaders, and that we continue to attract and promote great new leaders.
• Great companies have high cultures of accountability, it comes with this culture of criticism i was taling about before, and i think our culture is robust on it.
• I don’t know what a monopoly is until somebody tells me.
• I’m very, very bullish about our prospects, and as I tell our board, as I tell our employees, this is often the time to take a position . There’s such a lot opportunity. Let’s just invest therein opportunity, and really get after it.

• My children – in many dimensions they’re as poorly behaved as many other children, but a minimum of on this dimension I’ve got my kids brainwashed: you don’t use Google, and you don’t use an ipod.
• Our company has got to be a corporation that permits its people.
• Our vision and our mandate is to offer customers the type of holistic, simple experiences they need , and that we do this a day .
• We don’t have a monopoly. we've market share. There’s a difference.
