Our information lives will be better served when we are free to get to our information from wherever we are, with any device available.

To me, error analysis is the sweet spot for improvement.

Everyday people are not very good designers.

Beauty and brains, pleasure and usability - they should go hand in hand.

User-centered design means working with your users all throughout the project.

Market segmentation s a natural result of the vast differences among people.

Sure, one can always get the students to relax and be happy - entertained, but although being laid back and relax can also lead to creativity, mostly it means that nothing much gets done.

Our information lives will be better served when we are free to get to our information from wherever we are, with any device available.

I believe that the Apple Shuffle is an excellent compromise among the conflicting requirements of simplicity, elegance, size, battery life, and function.

And to get real work experience, you need a job, and most jobs will require you to have had either real work experience or a graduate degree.

AS for all those mistakes I make - they are on purpose - to teach you how to deal with them.

Knowing how people will use something is essential.

I've been looking at the iPod- the Apple iPod. One of the interesting things about the iPod, one of the things that people love most about it is not the technology; it's the box it comes in.

Readers always seem to think that the author has some control over the design of their books.

You won't catch me giving clear lectures.

If you think the products don't match what you want from a product, don't buy it.

A big ethical question is what happens after people stop using the device. Does it degrade the environment? Could it have been designed so it would actually be good for the environment?

The problem with emotion was that it was clearly something important, but-at least according to the old philosophy-it was something to overcome.

Scientists are always skeptics.

I think there is a tendency in science to measure what is measurable and to decide that what you cannot measure must be uninteresting.

It is relatively easy to design for the perfect cases, when everything goes right, or when all the information required is available in proper format.

Isn't one of your first exercises in learning how to communicate to write a description of how to tie your shoelaces? The point being that it's basically impossible to use text to show that.

In my opinion, no single design is apt to be optimal for everyone.

Am I an Apple bigot? No. I can critique their products and their customer service philosophy. But overall, they do better than any other player.

We expert teachers know that motivation and emotional impact are what matter.

So what does a good teacher do? Create tension - but just the right amount.

Also note that invariably when we design something that can be used by those with disabilities, we often make it better for everyone.

I believe that robots should only have faces if they truly need them.

I prefer design by experts - by people who know what they are doing.

As for all those mistakes I make - they are on purpose - to teach you how to deal with them.

Academics get paid for being clever, not for being right.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

But in the first Gulf war the United Kingdom was not under any threat from Iraq, and is still less so in the second one. Then there is no justification for obstructing freedom of information, particularly as nations have a right to know what their soldiers are being used for.

And they talk about their bona fide doctors. They have a list of doctors that signed affidavits from looking at a picture of Terry. That's where they get their information from, by looking at a picture.

Since I'm allergic to various things, the army wouldn't accept me during the war, and I got into the Office of War Information, which sent music to Europe.

Although Customs and Border Protection analyzes cargo and other information to target specific shipments for closer inspection, it still physically inspects only a small fraction of the containers under its purview.

I have a tendency to be lucky and make the right choices based on limited information.

I would never jeopardize classified information to be brought out to the public. This information is all open source. There is no reason to worry about classification. It is simply an attempt by bureaucrats to cover their rear ends.

For me, having a child is a really great responsibility because you've got something there that is depending on you for information and love until a certain age when it goes to school.

People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people - and that social norm is just something that has evolved over time.

Because of Watergate in part, I am kind of a magnet for calls and information and suggestions.

With respect to the FBI, they had problems communicating in a vertical way, within the FBI itself, so that information of importance could get pushed up to those who were decision-makers.

It is evident that one cannot say anything demonstrable about the problem before having resolved these preliminary questions, and yet we hardly possess the necessary information to solve some of them.

We finally found out the technique of separating and getting information about where every train would be at any moment. Of course, I went over budget many times, because - as you go along - some things improved, and you get better ideas.

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.
