The cost of a PC has free-fallen in the last few years. But it opened up the market by millions of PCs. If the price of software or of implementing a system drops by 25 to 40 percent, that allows a whole set of smaller businesses to implement the software and services that couldn't afford to before. |
The Danica Patrick that I know would come out here to race even if the TV cameras and fans weren't here. ... She is a racer at heart. The fact that she can balance the demands of the media, fans and sponsors and still compete at a high level is just another mark of how dedicated she is to her craft. |
The data storage on the chip could include all three of those — your face, your fingerprint or your iris ... so when you present yourself to get into another country, you will be required to present your biometric to make sure the holder of the passport is the same person as who's on the passport. |
The demand for home appliances whose power consumption and electricity costs are low is steadily increasing. NEC Electronics' 8- and 32-bit motor control solutions are designed to help system developers meet this demand, and are the first products in a line the company plans to expand in the future. |
The difference is that we have wide swings in Alberta on revenue on royalties. We can pretty well predict on the tax side within pretty close margins what our income is going to be. But you would not want us to budget on $60 oil, so we use the best information we have from the best analysts we have. |
The dimension that counts for the creative person is the space he creates within himself. This inner space is closer to the infinite than the other, and it is the privilege of the balanced mind... and the search for an equilibrium is essential - to be as aware of inner space as he is of outer space. |
The driver for all industries looking to outsource the movement of their goods is the need to reduce costs in order to increase profitability. Employing an expert to maintain various stages of its logistical supply chain allows a company to focus on its core competencies and 'stick to the knitting'. |
Paul Theroux (1941-) |
The economic data out this morning was decent, but there's some concern about continuing high prices. Oil may be pulling back, but oil stocks are still pulling the market down. It hasn't gotten overdone, but we've still got profit-taking today. We don't have any catalysts yet so we'll ride this out. |
The essence of the American dream is the understanding that we are here on this earth and in this land for a higher purpose: to discover-and develop to the fullest-our God-given potential. Anything that stands in the way of the dream, we must fight. Anything that enhances the dream, we must support. |
The fact that cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease in children makes me so committed to this cause. By shaving your head, you can be a hero for children with cancer. It's a perfect match because kids lose their hair during cancer treatments, and people will pay money to see you bald. |
The fact that you have different results in these cases is itself a problem. I've yet to meet anyone who seriously argues Andrea Yates was not insane. But by sticking to a rigid standard of only knowing right and wrong, you exclude the most common forms of insanity: people responding to evil voices. |
The federal government is going to spend whatever they need to, to make some visible progress before next year's mid-term elections, ... And what that's going to do to an economy that's already at full employment is drive up the cost of cement, drive up the cost of steel, drive up the cost of labor. |
The first fire was like a warning. So we got most of our important equipment out of there. Before this fire, there was hope we might go back to that building. Now, there is no hope. A fireman took me through the building to look at our space. Those marble steps in the front? Looked like a waterfall. |
