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.

In sales, a referral is the key to the door of resistance.

We got to know the competition very well. In the '50s popcorn made a big growth in sales. Our main push was to produce the best quality and sell in quality retail outlets.

Properly practiced creativity must result in greater sales more economically achieved. Properly practiced creativity can lift your claims out of the swamp of sameness and make them accepted, believed, persuasive, urgent.

No 27-year-old has the experience to run a company that does a quarter of a billion dollars a year in sales.

I like to think of sales as the ability to gracefully persuade, not manipulate, a person or persons into a win-win situation.

We have had more sales for this year's grand prix than any other, and we have been helped in that by the fact that Jenson had 10 podiums last season and looks like a winner. It is good for British motor racing if he is there and doing well.

McDonald's is almost 50 years old. For 47 years we had a pretty consistent track record of being able to deliver admirable sales.

I had hoped to let the one-half cent sales tax sunset this year, but we do not believe revenues will grow as fast as we hoped for the rest of the year.

So you have to just be really careful and make sure that when a deal comes along, that it's like the right deal for you... not necessarily the most money, because you have to pay the record label that back in like record sales and stuff.

'The New York Times' list is a bunch of crap. They ought to call it the editor's choice. It sure isn't based on sales.

Above all, a query letter is a sales pitch and it is the single most important page an unpublished writer will ever write. It's the first impression and will either open the door or close it. It's that important, so don't mess it up. Mine took 17 drafts and two weeks to write.

Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, "Make me feel important." Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life.

Hard Day's Night was one of those great films that will never happen again to anyone in their lifetime. UA were in profit before we'd even finished shooting - The advance sales on the album - the film was out before the album was out was more than it cost UA to make the film.

Uncollected sales taxes on Internet purchases cost the states more than $16 billion in 2001.
