Ambient Devices develops a new generation of consumer electronic products.

The orbs create feedback loops that can influence either personal of employee behavior.

We target people who understand that relationships are the lifeline of a small company.

Pager companies are very much looking to provide new services to help them regain some of their customer base.

We initially targeted pager networks, which have been suffering for the last decade due to cell phone sales.

Integral to the orb is our low cost long-range wireless radio data system and a protocol that allows us to send this data over 90% of the US population every 15 minutes throughout the day.

Ambient Devices is what I call part of the Third Wave of Internet devices.

There are already a lot of devices in our lives that have rich text or the ability to handle graphics. Our devices are designed to be understood in less than a quarter of a second.

Every time we bring someone in we ensure that they are a strategic thinker, but even more important that they understand that if the products aren't successful and the products don't sell that there won't be anything to strategize about.

As a small company our fastest way to market was going to be by working with other retailers that were known for pioneering new technologies and categories.

I think one of the most important attributes is perseverance.

The orbs have probably sold better through catalogs because they can be categorized unlike at most stores.

All of the devices work out of the box without any subscription fee.

We are extremely attractive to page companies, because we significantly increase their user base.

Most of us feel overburdened by information, although I would say the overloaded feeling comes more from coordinating all of the information and responding to it.

Our system allows you to respond to the information that is important to you. It allows you to sense and be attuned to more streams of information in parallel.

The orb allows for constant dynamic feedback.

Ambient Devices develops a new generation of consumer electronic products.

Our criteria for good data feeds are that they need to be dynamic enough to be interesting, something that users want to attune to throughout the day, etc.

There will be hundreds of new companies that will be created to develop these very simple data devices.

We created the ability for people to insert enterprise or personal data.

It is hard to check five email inboxes, three voice mail systems, or five blogs that you are tracking.

I need theatre for my equilibrium, because in theatre the actors don't care so much about image, about celebrity - you are more independent. There is not the narcissism, maybe, that you find in cinema.

We have a legal and moral obligation to rid our world of nuclear tests and nuclear weapons. When we put an end to nuclear tests, we get closer to eliminating all nuclear weapons. A world free of nuclear weapons will be safer and more prosperous.

If your culture doesnt like geeks you are in real trouble.

When I was a kid in the U.S., 'Doctor Who' wasn't really on, but you would occasionally catch an episode. Different stations did marathons.

The last three books are much more a case of a moment of history, what happened almost by accident or coincidence, like being in the same elevator or lifeboat.

We need more people speaking out. This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers. It's overrun with sheep and conformists.

It's funny what actors take issue with. Some won't do parts where animals are in jeopardy; some won't ever play anyone remotely unlikable - 'Heroes only, please.' Some won't do violence. I have no such qualms.

Finding out I was pretty was a very nice realisation.

Natural beauty really entices men. They will tell you this time and time again, and studies consistently prove it.

My emotional investment is in finding truth. If string theory is wrong, I'd like to have known that yesterday. But if we can show it today or tomorrow, fantastic.

French women don't have too many clothes - a few good pieces that last for a while and are classic and timeless.

I think that everything happens for a reason everything happens when its going to happen.

Yeah, but if you're not doing what everyone else is doing then you're going to be misunderstood. People are going to wonder why you're trying to be different; it's just a natural instinct.

The first generation of biotech physically cut and pasted from one organism to another. You learned that taxol helped cure cancer, then you found the source organism and extracted the genes to make your drug. Now physical science is becoming information science.

I've worked in a call centre and as a nightclub waitress. I served champagne to Rihanna.

Has fortune dealt you some bad cards. Then let wisdom make you a good gamester.

People - I hate to use the word 'fans' - are very respectful. It's not like I'm some pop idol or big movie star. I'm very approachable, and I love the people who enjoy me, because they react like they've run into a friend. Usually, it's like, 'Hey, Wanda! How ya' doing?'

Economic growth can enable development if it is supplemented by public policies that encourage circulation of wealth, especially into crucial areas such as public healthcare and education.

I remember all too well the premiere of Ecstasy when I watched my bare bottom bounce across the screen and my mother and father sat there in shock.

If showing up in a robe and tiara with a box of wine is wrong, then maybe I don’t fully comprehend how Casual Friday actually works.

Blogs are evil. Actually, the blogs aren't as evil as blog comments.

They say politics is a contact sport, and I have to agree with that.

It is in many circumstances a troubling thing to belong to the advanced class of a backward nation. One surrenders coherence and begins a difficult process of choice which ends, often, in an eclectic idiosyncrasy.

Many people use the words 'death defying' or 'death wishing' when they talk about wire-walking. Many people have asked me: 'So do you have a death wish?' After doing a beautiful walk, I feel like punching them in the nose. It's indecent. I have a life wish.
