Apple Quotations | Page 5

It?s sort of a wake-up call for Apple users. Everybody focuses on Windows, but there are viruses for other operating systems.

It's not a recipe for piracy. It's a recipe for competition, which is what Apple really doesn't like.

Everyone is waiting to hear what Howard Stringer says ? is Sony going to compete with Apple better in 2006?

The big unanswered question in the market is whether Apple hardware could successfully sell with Windows on it, and by successful, I mean be competitive to a degree that it could grow Apple's hardware share massively.

The biggest reason is that Microsoft has a much harder job to do. They need to be compatible with an army of devices and different types of software and different hardware platforms. Apple only has to be true to itself, and because of that the development process is multiple times more efficient for Apple.

Strong demand for our professional products combined with superb operational efficiency resulted in very strong earnings. Apple finished the quarter with $3.6 billion in cash and short-term investments.

The bar lights up and can turn red, green, blue, you name it. So if you are sipping a Cosmo, bang, the bar will turn red, an apple martini, bang, turns green.

The bad news is that most people think the situation is going to get worse for Macintosh users, and more threats will be targeted against the Apple community. The good news is that most don't believe it will ever be as big a problem as the one Microsoft Windows faces. What's perhaps surprising is that there is a hardcore element of 21% who believe that threat attempts against Mac users will not grow.

It's clear there is a segment of the consumer market that is price insensitive and more interested in advanced features than concerned about getting the lowest possible price, ... That's a segment Apple does very well in; so does Hewlett-Packard. Dell has to try to sell to that customer.

It's been important for Apple to overcome objections regarding sales of its servers into the large or mid-size enterprise. Apple's been challenged by a pervasive perception that its server offering is not compatible with existing technology.

It's an Apple experience. The integration, the hardware, the software; every detail has been thought about.

The vast majority of Apple buyers are still Mac loyalists, and I don't think you're going to find too many people who are going to take Apple to the mat. They may be angry for a little while, but it won't last long.

They are not going to let Apple take that environment.

These tribes have the right to participate in the process even if they hired a bad apple and then fired him.

Not very many companies are bold enough to shoot their best-selling product at the peak of its popularity. That's what Apple just did.

It's not an accident. This is something Apple works at. Apple has the longest history of doing this.

It's never been easy being an Apple partner and it hasn't gotten any easier over the past few years. Apple has a long history of doing direct sales, and the fact is, they're actually pretty good at it. What you have to do as an independent is to look at the next set of things you can do. How can you out-service Apple when they already provide a high level of service?

Their focus has been in a couple of key verticals, especially in markets like digital media - you can't go anywhere without having Apple in that market, ... They have done a really good job of penetrating that market - some of the scientific and technical markets are a crossover from that because of the high-powered computing aspects.

I know women at work who don't talk about having a baby because they don't want to upset the apple cart, but unless people know what the problems are, why should they engage with it?

I like Apple Computer. I notice it's down a little bit (Friday). I think this company has a good future. I think people are beginning to respect the fact this is probably the most innovative of the PC companies, away from the corporate war, so I'd be a buyer of Apple,

India is not Iran. You can't compare apple with pears.

Incredibly, Apple has persuaded Disney, which owns ABC, to make available all episodes of five TV series, including 'Lost,' 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Thats So Raven.' Each show costs $1.99 an easy impulse buy if you missed an episode. They play back beautifully, with no network logo in the corner, no yearlong wait for the DVD, and no commercials. (One 43-minute 'hour' of TV takes 12 minutes to download with my cable modem, and about two minutes to transfer to the iPod over its U.S.B. 2.0 cable.) ...That Mr. Jobs persuaded Disney to dip its pinky toe into these waters is an impressive development and a very promising sign.

In 1978, when Vickie and I married, I weighed 190 pounds, but was on a never-ending yo-yo rollercoaster ride, ... My weight bloomed, with my wife's good cooking that included a particularly good-tasting meal of roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy and apple crumb pie ... a meal I've not had in a long time, but it was so good, I can still smell it in my memory.

In many ways Apple is a victim of its own success: if you sell millions of devices, even a small problem affects a lot of people,

In my experience-- which is also the experience of some of my peers- Apple has been very slow to respond to reported security vulnerabilities. It expects security researchers to wait indefinitely to release the vulnerabilities and offers no incentive for them to do so.

I'm less devoted to PCs than into the disdain of Apple. Apple users are so arrogant and evangelical about their choice.

Impressively, according to management, 45 percent of iMac customers were first-time buyers of Apple products. While we think this number could be high, clearly it points to the strength of the company's products as well as it potential to drive share gains through further expansion into the consumer market.

If Microsoft hasn't significantly improved that experience, and made it as easy as Apple has, that's going to be a big barrier.

If I were inside Dell, I would be using Apple as the benchmark. Apple has totally wowed the computer world. They are the company to beat.

In an apple to apples comparison, from the customers' perspective, their total cost of ownership in an on-demand model is really 80 percent less than it would be had they done it on premise. And the resulting system is more reliable.

If the New York Times published this material, Apple wouldn't even dream of suing them. The only reason they're going after this guy is because they think they can get away with it.

If you look at the stock price, it's obviously been a darling. Expectations were very high. . . . Apple had to report a flawless quarter. It wasn't flawless.

In the U.S. there are many people willing to work on $9 per hour, which is causing Tasmania to lose its famous apple industry and Australia to import more and more of its fruit and food from lower cost countries. In fact, all over Australia there are warning signs of us killing or restricting our own industries.

In the consumer electronics world, there's always talk now about Apple, the way people used to talk about Sony. At the water cooler or in boardrooms, they're asking, 'What is Apple doing next?' or 'How do we stay out of their way?

In my opinion, it is better to release several security updates. Apple fixed the serious part very quick and that's good.

In our opinion, investors should not read this Apple blowup as evidence that PC demand is weak. Apple is, in many ways, a market unto itself.

In order to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.

I just thought very postcardy type, and you can see as they are mounted they are on edge, ... It signifies a different era in Apple Valley.

I have to assume that we will see more sales. Apple consumers are going to start thinking about security much like Windows users do.

Investors have gotten used to Apple being out of stock on some of their hottest products. Now they have them in stock. And the good news is that they are still selling through,

Investors do not appreciate the superior financial dynamics at Apple and do not accord it the valuation it deserves - because, in our minds ­­-- Apple is still viewed by many as a reformed alcoholic - just one step away from returning to the gutter. We have a different view and think there is a great team.

In terms of being there when the market begins to take off, that is beneficial. ABC got the ball rolling with their deal with Apple and there is value in being part of the game first.

In terms of the level of importance, this would be ù in this space ù the same thing as Apple announcing they were going to be using Intel processors,

In terms of operations and sales execution, Apple has seen good progress over the past 18 to 24 months. That's very encouraging.

In popular Egyptian and regional culture, women are seen as weak, easy victims to temptation in the same way Eve couldn't resist that shiny apple in the Garden of Eden.

If you want to get rid of a doctor spouse, eat apple a day, coz an apple a day keeps all doctors away.

If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.

Before I get to the point, let me say that I'm encouraged that Apple has managed its transition to Intel processors so rapidly. So far, the number of glitches with the new hardware appears to be small, fundamental compatibility is good, and the number of Universal applications continues to increase rapidly. Apple's own product guide lists over 1,000.

Before Apple's move, there were some players dipping their toes in the pool, but Apple was the guy that pushed everyone in.

High performance scientific and creative customers need to squeeze every last drop of performance out of their systems. We're thrilled that Intel has brought their respected suite of tools to help Apple developers maximize the performance of their applications on Intel-based Macs.

I don't think Microsoft plans on ceding this market to Apple or anyone else at this point in time. What that means in terms of tactical solutions, it's too early to tell. They're probably considering any number of different options.

I don't know how much Apple pays for that IBM chip, but you can bet it's absurdly low. Apple has this crazy idea that it shouldn't have to pay as much as everyone else. And whatever it's paying for the IBM chip, I'm sure it's paying more for the Intel chip.

I didn't expect that I would win tonight. My favorite part about the apple festival is that I get to come out and have a lot of fun and spend time with my family.

Because of our injury at 215, we knew it would be tough with three weights to go. There were lots of tough matches. Apple Valley was just tougher than us.

Gates has kept Apple alive to get the Justice Department off his back. All he has to do is stop making Office for the Mac and that is the end of Apple. He keeps Apple alive, but very weak.

Generally, Apple software is very good. That's what they're best at.

If I decide to make a coat red in the show, it's not just red, I think: is it communist red? Is it cherry cordial? Is it ruby red? Or is it apple red? Or the big red balloon red?

I don't think Apple wants to emulate Sony. I don't think they want to do video cameras. I don't think they want to do TVs. They are rounding out the Mac consumer ecosystem. I think they will be extremely cautious about what they brand as an Apple product.

If developers don't make the transition to Apple and Intel, they'll probably be making the transition to Windows and Intel. Intel doesn't have a lot to lose.

I don't think they would admit it, but yes, we had an impact. All these people yelling and screaming for dual boot, yeah, I think it certainly helped. People were willing to donate their money and support, and I think Apple heard the message loud and clear.

I don't think they want to upset the apple cart,

How seamless does that mechanism need to be under this law? The devil here is in the detail. It's quite possible that Apple says they're in compliance with this law. No one is locked into Apple's music format.

I do have an appointment to meet with the chairman of the appropriations committee (Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Redlands), who happens to represent Apple Valley. It is my intention to impress upon him the urgency this project should be held.

You can't have peace if people are able to murder a man and get away with it just because it upsets the political apple cart to stand up to them.

This is a company that helps shape the vision and direction of the industry. Apple made portable music cool again. For the longest time, it wasn't cool.

All I can say is the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. They're all cut from the same cloth and it's a great cloth.

The IBM 970MP is locked, loaded and ready to go. There's no reason why Apple would forgo putting that chip into its systems,

The Green Apple Music & Arts Festival was created to raise the visibility and awareness of Earth Day. What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to bring it to every major music venue in New York?

The impact on Apple is not clear yet. But the French are late; Microsoft and Apple are already dominating the market.

The important question the shortfall raises is whether Apple will be able to attract new users to the Macintosh platform to continue to grow its market share, ... The shortfall raises ominous questions about whether it can.

The goal is to make it easy to use, Apple has this, but it may not be the dominant player in the future.

The downgrades of Apple really take the wind out of the sails. That was a stock with a lot of momentum.

The First Amendment requires that compelled disclosure from journalists be a last resort, ... Apple must first investigate its own house before seeking to disturb the freedom of the press.

The concept is one that people getthe ability to enjoy your music, photos and videos from anywhere in your room. It's all in the implementation and execution. You can see the Apple detailsit's an experience unlike anything else that exists.

The last rate increase was in 1996. Apple Valley and Howard residents are at a $33 quarterly rate. Since they are all on the countywide sewer system, I think it would be a good idea to keep the rates standard. We also anticipate the need for some maintenance coming up in the future on this subdivision's system.

The main thing for Microsoft as a company is to get as much use as possible for the PC as a home entertainment device, and one way to do that is ensure that there is a lot of readily available content. Their concern is that none of the partner services will take off or will be effective, keeping Apple as a dominant platform.

The reason for that is Sun and Apple haven't worked that closely on Java in the past.

We heard that Apple was dying, that Apple can't survive. Every time we convince people we've accomplished something at one level, they come up with something new. We've convinced them that we've taken care of last month's question.

I tell you, all politics is apple sauce.

I'm in love with the new iMac -- it's the finest product Apple has ever created.

The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion the horse, how he shall take his prey.

Who cares about the Apple II? The Macintosh is the future of Apple, and you're going to start on it now.

We are delighted that Apple is delivering strong growth on every front -- revenues, profits and units -- and in particular that our unit growth last quarter was 2.5 times higher than the industry average, which leads directly to market share growth. Apple also continues to deliver the best asset management in the industry, ending the quarter with less than one day of inventory.

We went down to Apple to talk to them about putting QuickTime into our media player,

What's happened at Apple is that our business has basically tripled in the last five or six years.

Even in this extended worldwide downturn, Apple is continuing to be profitable and continuing to innovate.

Disney and Apple are offering customers a new and exciting way to experience television,

The swift industry-wide decline in PC sales will result in Apple's first non-profitable quarter in three years, ... We're not happy about it, and plan to return to sustained profitability next quarter. We are committed to reducing our channel inventories to normal levels by the end of this quarter, and remain very excited about the new products and programs Apple will be rolling out in 2001.

Adam was but human-this explains it all. He did not want the apple for the apple's sake, he wanted it only because it was forbidden.

Apple is leading the digital music revolution, but at its core, it's all about the music,

Apple has decided to make Internet Explorer its default browser. We believe Internet Explorer is a really good browser. Internet Explorer is my browser of choice.

Apple had a very decent group of people as their board of directors, but it was time for a change.

Apple had a terrific quarter -- we sold a record number of Power Macintosh G3 computers, customers love our new PowerBooks, Apple earned its highest profit in years and we ended the quarter with the lowest inventory level among the major PC players,

Apple had a great quarter, no question about it. We are very pleased with the strong demand for our Power Macintosh G3 computers, which accounted for 51 percent of all units sold.

Apple had a great quarter, no question about it, ... We are very pleased with the strong demand for our Power Macintosh G3 computers, which accounted for 51 percent of all units sold.

Apple grew faster than the industry this quarter for the first time in nearly five years,

Al is going to be a terrific director, and we're excited and honored that he has chosen Apple as his first private sector board to serve on,

It's very exciting to renew our commitment to the Macintosh. We're very pleased to be supporting Apple. We think Apple makes a huge contribution to the computer industry.

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.

If you'd like to know how to get from the Big Apple to the Big Easy, take Highway Love, and you'll get there.
