Over two billion people now use the broadband Internet, up from perhaps 50 million a decade ago, when I was at Netscape, the company I co-founded.
Inventors often don't know how to pitch their ideas. So many people in Silicon Valley want to hear you say 'disruptive,' and tote a 'platform.' They repeat buzzwords over and over, and I think it...
Directors should be paid for promising impossible things.
Apple is so focused on its vision that it does things in a very careful, deliberate way.
You can solve problems, but the solutions don't always have to be elaborate or expensive.
None of our competitors have ever made two systems that run the same software.
I went to the library - and this was before the Internet - and I searched for a career that was creative, would not fall into a routine, involved problem solving and making things. It also had to be...
I've always, since I was a kid, been interested in how things work.
I was involved with a sports car called Cizeta-Moroder, which was the first 16-cylinder car, beautiful. I think we sold about eight cars, and then in '92 the economic crash came, and we had to close...
If somebody is young and brilliant and imaginative, he will be listened to, even if he is a little unorthodox.
My record's all electric, and that's why I call it 'garage country.'

Even as a college professor at Carnegie Mellon and Stanford, I saw myself as an entrepreneur, and I went out, took risks, and tried to invent new things, such as participating in the DARPA Grand...
Texas has long been known as the nation's largest energy producer, but we are equally proud of our distinction as the nation's leading energy innovator.
Our world is built on biology and once we begin to understand it, it then becomes a technology.
We're scientists; we're curious about how nature works, but we're also do-gooders. It's fantastic to think that the same experiments we'd do to understand how information gets into cells could have a...
I mean, we're - if I may say so - we're experts at using materials and processes in ways for which they were never intended.
We're living through the second Industrial Revolution.
I'm one who demands a lot from people. I'm not afraid to look at alternative ways in city government. That's what I've done in my two years and will continue to do in the next four.

Neither a success nor by any means a failure, Roku will nevertheless ask public investors for money because they, too, have a right to dream that magic will become reality one day.
I learned at an early age that I could make the things that I wanted. That's a very powerful thing to realize as a kid. LEGOs were a key part of that.
The march of invention has clothed mankind with powers of which a century ago the boldest imagination could not have dreamt.
Startups are often best at solving the personal problems of their founders. The more diverse the founders, the more types of problems can be solved - and the more people who will be positively...

Adobe and Apple have collaborated a lot over the decades. There's a lot more for us to do as well.
Innovation requires resources to invest, and you can see many companies pulling back and going into an intense protective mode in a major extended period of financial distress.
We like to say at Khosla Ventures, and this is one of the reasons to do what we do, we'll take technical risks that nobody else will.
Technology is the future, I have seen the third industrial revolution, and we are in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution.
