“Creating a GXP performance edition of the Solstice is a natural extension of the capabilities of this car. On its own, the base Solstice offers all of the qualities one would expect from a classic roadster style, crisp handling, and spirited performance. The Solstice GXP takes that pure roadster DNA and pushes it to a new level, with a 47 percent boost in horsepower and other enhancements for a more thrilling driving experience.”
“Dangerous global warming will be impossible to avoid if the conventional coal-fired power plants now on the drawing boards are completed. Although there is growing recognition among voters, members of Congress, and power company executives that enforceable emission limits are essential to drive the market for available low emission technologies, many still don't understand the urgency. The sooner we act the better it will be for consumers, companies, and the climate.”
“The new O ROKR furthers our successful collaboration with Motorola by combining the best of both companies. We're integrating technologies to drive true innovation that changes the way consumers think about and experience personal electronics. Our innovations, our inventions, are raising the bar for functionality and fashion by taking features and functions that consumers most need and want and integrating them into what they're already wearing.”
“"You see weird things driving... I've never understood log trucks, sometimes you'll be out on the highway, you see two big giant trucks loaded up with logs, and they pass eachother on the highway... I don't understand it. I mean, if they need logs over there... and they need 'em over there, you'd think a phone call would save 'em a whole lot of trouble."”
“While management will likely continue to guide conservatively, we expect 2006 outlook will be at least in-line with (analysts' consensus estimate of) $4.18. JC Penney's stepped up branding campaign, which kicks off March 2 and includes a temporary NY store, should drive some sales and more importantly position them for market share gains as industry rationalization frees up share.”
“Microsoft is partnering with these NGOs to drive further adoption of technology that can speed information when it is most critical. We at Microsoft believe it is important to help improve humanitarian efforts through financial donations, technical resources and the volunteer efforts of our employees worldwide. This grant is directed at improving collaboration among agencies, which is one of the most vital issues our NGO partners are trying to solve.”
“Larry Weber paints a clear picture of what drives high technology marketing that you cannot forget. Larry instantly transforms your thinking and you wonder why you didn't think this way before. Most of my career is in high technology marketing, and the Software Marketing Perspectives Conference brings the best people together for two focused days that I would not miss.”
“Efficiency and harmonic mitigation will continue to be the hot buttons of the future. However, as today's youth who use computers, I-Pods, DVD players and cell phones with ease enter the job market, they will demand the same ease of operation they are accustomed to. Operator interfaces will become the next hot button with these new engineers and purchasing authorities demanding drives that are just as easy to program as their cell phones or X-Boxes.”
“I won't miss having to stand for two hours at 4:30 a.m. and having freezing cold glue applied to my feet. I won't miss two-hour drives to work or long, long, long, days sitting in my trailer waiting... waiting... waiting. I won't miss glue in my ears. But I would do it all again tomorrow.”
“Once, I would drive across town if necessary [to buy a newspaper]. Today, I open the front door and if the paper isn't within about 10 feet I retreat to my computer and read it online. Only six months ago, that figure was 20 feet. Extrapolating, they will have to bring it to me in bed by the end of the year and read it to me out loud by the second quarter of 2007.”
