We are going to put our content in every form on every device. We're testing them all.
We're still leaderless. We still don't have strong organizations that are fighting for us; there isn't a national AIDS organization out there worth squat in my opinion.
We didn't exist. Ronald Reagan didn't say the word 'AIDS' until 1987. I've tried desperately to get a meeting in the White House; Gay Men's Health Crisis is already an established organization. I have a certain presence.
Living with AIDS is like always having the sword of Damocles over your head. The disease is scarier than death itself. The disease is so messy, so devastating, so pervasive. It robs you of everything you hold dear.
We are extremely pleased with our fourth quarter results, which exceeded our expectations. We continue to see sharp increases in the number of users to the site and the number of pages read, and an even larger percentage increase in our revenue.
There is an awakening occurring at the traditional media companies.
We're looking at other shows now. We want to go gradually. We've never done this before.
We're making adjustments every minute based on how things are holding up.
We're going to bring this color commentary to the Web. It enables us to take more programming to users.
We're very pleased to offer this event programming for free on the web.
We are thrilled to start the Rock Center and feel privileged to have it begun by someone like Arthur Rock, whose life and work have been central in creating the Silicon Valley. Our goal, like Arthur's, is nothing less than to transform corporate governance in the United States and abroad. It is imperative to restore public trust in business and to do so in a way that fuels rather than impedes growth. The resources that can be brought to bear at Stanford--in law, business, economics, and engineering--will enable us to tackle problems in new ways. And with the help and participation of the business community itself, the Rock Center can and will become a source for problem solving, new thinking, and great scholarship in this most important of domains.
We are thrilled to be bringing '60 Minutes' to an Internet powerhouse like Yahoo.
