Steve Jobs as quoted by Maria Popova:
The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.
Steve Jobs as quoted by Yahoo:
I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.
YonHap News: Jong-kyun Shin, Samsung’s mobile president, on the eve of the company’s Galaxy Nexus launch:

Samsung should have taken patents seriously from the very beginning.
For now, it really is just a novel toy. [...] but mark our words — when Lytro integrates this kind of tech into a larger, more potent shooter: game over.

Andy Rubin as quoted in This is my next:
I don’t think there should be apps specific to a tablet. If someone makes an ICS app it’s going to run on phones and it’s going to run on tablets.
This strategy works as long as there are little differences between ICS phones and tablets.

The lag is so subtle, yet so infuriating.
