No. 1, we're increasingly convinced that Qualcomm will be able to get a substantial royalty in all third-generation equipment, which will be based on its CDMA technology. No. 2, we're getting a growing amount of evidence that China intends to deploy CDMA nationwide. That was a big concern earlier in the year among some investors.

One of my favorites is 'The Sound of Music'. When Julie Andrews runs through the hills singing her head off, I always wish that a gust of wind would blow her skirt up.

I get up here at 6:45 in the morning and I work until 9 at night.

I got asked by a freelance journalist to jump in front of Princess Diana's funeral. How pathetic is that? That would have been the stupidest thing on the planet.

I always thought, because America is supposed to be the land of the free, nudity would be part of the norm over there, but it isn't. It's surprising.

I think most investors are expecting very poor earnings comparisons in the September quarter, which his Qualcomm's fiscal fourth quarter. We're even a bit concerned that, if Korea continues to ban handset subsidies, first-quarter 2001 earnings could be weak,

We'll do a crazy video of a great song that people can actually dance to.

There are a number of statistics to indicate that about half of the world's population has yet to make their first phone call, ... And our investment thesis is that over time, almost all of those users who make that first phone call will do so over a wireless phone. Nokia (NOK) indicated yesterday that there are about 520 million wireless subscribers today, and that number is expected to top a billion in 2002. We think it could top a billion and a half by 2004.

These kids are a lot more intense this year. We don't have the complaining and whining that we had the past couple of years. We have very strong leadership in place and the kids just line up and do whatever is asked of them because they don't want to let their teammates down. I think their work ethic is going to pay off over the course of the season.
