Hardware Quotations

So when we go into a large hardware bid, there is usually a services component that is part of that. So as we enter these deals, we tend to talk about the capabilities and what else needs to be done, and from there the bid might expand beyond hardware to the services.

It's hardware that makes a machine fast. It's software that makes a fast machine slow.

We have lost one shuttle for every 57 flights and that is not a good ratio. I do believe we need to continue space flights, but maybe we can follow the example of the Russians and use unmanned vehicles to transport hardware into space.

The emergence of a hardware product from an African company marks a phase-change point for tech invention. The BRCK shows that great ideas can come from anywhere, that innovation comes from solving real problems with constrained resources.

Whether you are a consumer, a hardware maker, a software developer or a provider of cool new services, it's hard to make a move in the American cellphone world without the permission of the companies that own the pipes.

To jump-start our economy, we must leave cash in your hands - because if you've got money in your pocket, you'll spend it at the hardware store or the corner market, and that will drive job growth in our private sector.

I went to a state school in Christchurch, New Zealand, and then straight on to the University of Canterbury. But I worked part-time all the way through high school: first with a paper round, then at a fast-food outlet, a video store and a hardware store.

I get double-takes at the hardware store. I've had people say, 'I didn't know you did this.' With a celebrity, if folks don't see you, they think all you do is stay in the house.

I don't use any real vintage hardware any longer. That's always been the object as far as gaining control of the studio environment, going back to when I built my first studio, Secret Sound, in New York City. The whole point was to not have to pay studio bills anymore and not be looking at the clock.

The hardware manufacturers, game designers, cable companies and computer companies and, in fact, film studios are going to ensure that this thing marches on. They know that they are going to make an enormous amount of money from it.

Influence is best measured not only by military hardware and GDP, but also by other people's perceptions that we, the United States, are using our power legitimately. That belief - that we are acting in the interests of the global commons and in accordance with the rule of law - is what the military would call a 'force multiplier.'

If I was designing a web site for elementary school children, I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools.

A geek is a guy who has everything going for him but he's just too young. He's got the software but he doesn't have the hardware yet.

With bundled machines you can throw away the hardware and keep the software, and it's still a good buy.

We know that defence work results in more than great defence hardware - it can drive innovation and advances in all areas of our life.

Talking about Apple v. Microsoft without mentioning the Internet and the browser is like talking about WWII without talking about the nuke. Framing the conversation just in terms of open v. closed operating systems, the quality of the hardware or software or who the CEO was, is silly.

When I was quite young, she was working in a hardware store, so I grew up knowing about hardware.

I don't care how much hardware you throw at an audience. If they are not emotionally invested in the thing, it's zero. I can name a slew of films, but I have no ax to grind. I understand the commerce of Hollywood probably better than anyone.

I always find myself stopping to write down ideas of things I'd like to make from computer hardware items to things new moms need - inventions to share with others to make their lives more fun or interesting or easy.

Its more about conception and touch and spirit and soul than whether my hardware was in place.

We need to get smarter about hardware and software innovation in order to get the most value from the emerging Internet of Things.

A nerd will be a nerd all his life. When we did The Nerd Book at National Lampoon, the nerds got picked up as if there were a lot of them at every school - and there aren't. Maybe two. There are many more geeks. A geek is a guy who has everything going for him, but he's just too young. He's got the software, but he doesn't have the hardware yet.

Hardware works best when it matters the least.

For systems in which you already have a lot of hardware and software, change is difficult. That's why apps are so popular.

The era during which only governments could put hardware on the Moon is coming to an end. There are 26 private teams competing for the $30 million Google Lunar X-Prize - to be awarded for sending a robotic spacecraft to this nearby world that can roam at least 500 meters, and send back data such as a photo.

At a certain point, the services that you build around the hardware become more important than the hardware itself.

By 1988, I'm seeing this commercial phenomenon beginning to show up. Hardware makers are selling routers to universities so they can build up their campus networks. So I remember thinking, 'Well, how are we going to get this in the hands of the general public?' There were no public Internet services at that point.

Consider: Life arose on Earth close to four billion years ago. Four billion years of slithering, swimming, and soaring life forms. But only in the last 200 thousand years has a species arisen that can fathom the laws of nature and build hardware able to signal its presence.

What makes a great standalone piece of hardware is not the same thing as what makes a great networking device. One can work as an essentially closed system. The other is absolutely dependent on its openness.

CloudShield did not see itself as a cloak-and-dagger company. It made its name for high-end hardware that could peer deeply into Internet traffic and pull out and analyze 'packets' of data as they flew by.

The voice I use is a very old hardware speech synthesizer made in 1986. I keep it because I have not heard a voice I like better and because I have identified with it.

We would save up our money, then we'd ride our bikes to the hardware store and buy nails.

With the introduction of these new Windows Marketplace Feeds, average users will find it easy to stay up-to-date with Windows. Better yet, there's no middle man to go through; all the hardware and software update information comes directly from Microsoft. That's a true win-win situation.

We knew what it was. Hardware problems are hardware problems. It takes a while to fix them.

Hardware: This is the part of the computer that stops working when you spill beer on it.

We're seeing a divergence in the equity markets and a divergence in the tech stocks, ... Dell is weighing on hardware stocks.

We've got a major investment in our electronics. With all the changes there, the increasing sophistication of the electronics, the hardware and software, it's tough to keep up. We need to stay state-of-the-art.

We have seen a large increase in the deployment of what is called a 'storage area network,' which is hardware to provide storage for multiple servers. What we've done in Windows Server 2003 R2 is make it much easier to deploy and manage storage on a SAN using Windows Server.

The process of developing this benchmark ensures that it is a realistic testing tool for users, the ISV and hardware vendors. The automotive industry generously donated an actual design model, UGS contributed the testing framework based on characteristic use of NX 3, and we integrated it with the proven SPEC methodology that helps ensure consistent results.

When I came here, we were 85 percent or more hardware. There were very few IBM fellows in software. Software was just stuff to make the hardware work.

We need a wireless mobile device ecosystem that mirrors the PC/Internet ecosystem, one where the consumers' purchase of network capacity is separate from their purchase of the hardware and software they use on that network. It will take government action, or some disruptive technology or business innovation, to get us there.

Scrapping hardware that is three-quarters complete is, I think, sinful,

The qualification strengthens our ability to provide high-quality services for embedded product design and development that consistently meet customer needs and enhance customer satisfaction.

Mr. McIntosh developed a method of heating a hinge without using a flame, which allowed him to prevent damage to the fiberglass. This process is much more efficient and effective than the old process and is estimated to save approximately $36,000 per year in hardware costs, reduces technician frustration, and decreases the repair turn around time for the enclosures.

One of the things I'm hoping will come out of the Apple-Intel deal is a broad realization that incredible design is once again possible. Over the years the hardware OEMs have consistently used Intel and Microsoft as reasons they can't build really cool products. Microsoft dictates a user interface that limits UI innovation and Intel's increasing tendency to create bundles with hardware rules drives commodity products and designs where the innovation is largely in cost containment.

One of the things IBM needs to do more of is become more competitive with their hardware products. They've become very competitive in software and services. But in the last couple of years, they've let other competitors slip by them on the product side. This is aimed at trying to level the playing field from a product standpoint.

My background is in hardware design. I found hardware work to be a welcome change from thousands of hours of programming and that led to the designs you mentioned.

If we go 41-41, we got a lot of hardware to hand out.

I believe this hardware is the foundation for what will put humanity into space forever. There will always be people off the face of the planet.

Certainly, the fact that you need to be using brand new hardware is a selling disadvantage out the door.

But we're fairly comfortable that our next generation hardware will blow everything those guys are doing out of the water!

But that doesn't imply the end of special-purpose accelerators. Today we use accelerators for specific, well-defined functions like encryption or error correction in conjunction with processor clusters. I think a completely 'clean' cluster of processors without specialized hardware would not survive in the market.

Basically I think it's the fact that the devices are still selling. (Given) the fact that they were able to maintain revenue guidance for the (coming) quarter, it really looks like the sustainability and momentum, at least in the hardware sales, has persisted.

I'm always surprised at how many people seem to like reading about what hardware and software I use.

I'm a mechanical engineer, and I grew up on a farm, so I like practical hardware - somebody's elegant solution that proves itself over the long term.

I have a very difficult time describing my music. Because I run into people in the hardware store and they go, 'Oh, you're a musician. So what kind of music do you play?' And I go, 'Uh, I've been doin' this for many years - I don't know what to call it.'

Given the business model for the consoles the more Microsoft can backload those hardware sales, the better it is for them financially.

Had we listened a little bit more and paid attention to the hardware that was talking to us, we probably could have prevented the accident. We need to learn from the mistakes we made ... I am continually reminding myself that we're in a dangerous business.

There is no better advertisement for our arms and military hardware than a real demonstration of their capabilities in the course of practical exercises,

With most other offerings, you have to buy separate hardware accelerators to achieve the same performance levels that our software-only solution delivers. For 20% of the cost, our customers get the same or better performance across their WANs as well as the option to add high availability clusters for comprehensive application protection.

Hardware wise, there's a lot of marketing hype about the consoles. A lot of it really needs to be taken with grains of salt about exactly how powerful it is, ... The Xbox 360 has an architecture where you essentially have got three processors and they're all running the same memory pool and they're all synchronized, and cache coherent, and you can spawn off another thread in your program and make it go do some work. That's kind of the best case and it's still really difficult to turn into faster performance or getting it to get more stuff done in a game title.

Hardware acceleration is vital to RAID 6, and Intel was the first to deliver it via a commercially available I/O processor. The Intel IOP331 I/O processor is crucial to meeting the needs of Promise's cost-conscious customers, who need enterprise-class data protection in SMB-priced solutions. We are dedicated to working together with companies such as Promise to advance availability of standards-based building blocks so that companies of all sizes can protect their critical data more effectively.

It goes deep into the economy. A lot of people depend on the Ford plant, from the little lunch shops that are around the plant, to the hardware stores, to you name it.

It is a uniquely American industry. Almost all of the technological developments in software and hardware design are coming out of the United States.

It is an excellent chance to go back up and see the hardware, see how it's been performing, work on a few components that need a little bit of attention and, of course, begin to transfer a large amount of hardware into the station that the crew will use in the future for living and working up there.

I think the scanning functions open up some interesting possibilities to content suppliers as well as hardware manufacturers and therefore will be promoted.

I think Stamps.com is well positioned versus their competitors. They approached this from the point of view that hardware is a bad thing when it comes to postage, and I think this is the correct assessment. The small business buyer and the consumer do not want to have to manage a postage meter, even if it is a dongle on the PC.

With the wider variety of hardware available for the Windows platform, live video has a chance to really explode.

Our goal is to help OEMs create a new class of virtualization solutions for small and medium enterprises. The new class of solutions would consist of the same OEM software (snapshot, replication, etc.) ported onto a high-performance, low-cost hardware platform.

Our company goal is to raise more than $5,000 through Helpful Hardware Card sales on Labor Day Weekend.

Our objective with Moab Cluster Suite 4.2.2 is to enable more users to easily use a cluster, let even the newest network administrations gain intuitive control over their cluster without training, and to allow sites with high levels of complexity to gain more fine-grained control over virtually every aspect of workload usage and system integration. Our customers consistently see the industries' highest utilization rates, commonly helping them achieve 10 to 30 percent more work on their existing hardware and sometimes even more.

People often forget about management tools when they're building a new network or looking at the one they have. Most hardware vendors provide management software with their products these days, but there is a whole tier of software that can give visibility into the network as a whole.

My mother approved, my father just didn't accept the idea of my being an actor. I think that's the reason he kept the hardware store in operation, because I think he was pretty sure that I was going to be found out sooner or later, and he wanted to have a job for me to come back to.

Just because an operating environment is available on a volume hardware platform does not necessarily mean that it will become a volume product itself. It all depends upon the portfolio of applications, development tools and services available.

The acquisition of True Temper broadens our lawn and garden product line with outstanding, highly respected brands, ... The purchase also expands USI Hardware and Tool's customer base and provides additional capacity for future growth.

The answer for this is we need to get our hardware sales moving in terms of units, particularly branded units.

That would be a radical makeover but what Sun needs is a radical makeover. It needs to bite the bullet on hardware and make a bold strategic move,
