Mike Schroepfer Quotations

I joined Facebook in the summer of 2008 - before that I was at Mozilla.

In order to innovate, you have to experiment.

My hope for AI and Facebook in the next decade is you can sit down and tell Facebook, 'This is what I want to hear about today.' Like, I'm having a bad day; I want to hear some good news. If we make our products better, more people will use it - people use it more. It's fairly easy to understand.

With these things, it's hard to determine the exact nature of what happened. We don't believe that people were successful in getting any of that personal or sensitive information, but we're erring on the side of caution.

Luckily we do not have any known use of this exploit, but it is fairly critical if there were to be (an attack), so this is a recommended download.

IE 7 is a pretty good catch-up. But it does some funny things with tabs and the UI that I don't understand why they did it.

We need time to investigate and understand the issue before we can determine whether it does qualify for the bug bounty. Our priority in these cases is to investigate the issues and work with the security team to develop fixes first.

We're trying to make it easier for people to organize and search information. Someone might think about a page they saw five days ago and now they want to get back to it. We want to make that easier.

We're identifying this as a critical release and we're strongly recommending that everyone update as soon as possible.

As soon as we got the report that users might be impacted, we began evaluating our options. We're releasing as soon as we possibly can.

Rather than rush it to market, we'd prefer to spend the time it takes to get it right.

This is part of our regular, two-month upgrade cycle, and deals in part with eight vulnerabilities identified by us and our users.

This exploit was published after we released the 1.5.0.1 update. Most of our users had already been upgraded by the time this exploit was published.

It's going to render your web pages faster, and the automatic update feature will make sure your browser is always up to date. As a user you will notice the difference with this new version.

It's something we take seriously because it could be used for bad things.
