What we now call the browser is whatever defines the web. What fits in the browser is the World Wide Web and a number of trivial standards to handle that so that the content comes.

In my second year in graduate school, I took a computer course and that was like lightening striking.

What we now call the browser is whatever defines the web. What fits in the browser is the World Wide Web and a number of trivial standards to handle that so that the content comes.

They were saying computers deal with numbers. This was absolutely nonsense. Computers deal with arbitrary information of any kind.

So, what you can do in Microsoft Word is what Bill Gates has decided. What you can do in Oracle Database is what Larry Ellison and his crew have decided.

I was very intensely concerned with all kinds of new media.

I thought I was going to be a filmmaker but at the same time I was an intellectual and I felt that I could make a contribution to some field, as yet, not invented.

But it seemed to me that as soon as you have computer storage you could put every point you wanted in - make the ones that are less relevant to your central topic, further away or allow the central topic to move as the reader proceeded.

Project Xanadu is essentially my trademark. It was originally, and has returned to my arms as that.

Computers are hierarchical. We have a desktop and hierarchical files which have to mean everything.

I am looking at it from the point of view of a harried user, which I am, and I believe that I am much more like the typical non-technical harried user than I am like the people who smoothly operate everything.

The ideas keep going, you have the material, you cut because there's a limit to the space allowed to you. And the space is limited because of some other constraints that have to do with money or printing or whatever.

The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do.

The four walls of paper are like a prison because every idea wants to spring out in all directions - everything is connected with everything else, sometimes more than others.

So, I was always frustrated having to write and having to cut things. Why should you have to cut anything?

So in my uncertainty, I went to graduate school and there it all happened.

So, the point was to be able to have a medium that would record all the connections and all the structures and all the thoughts that paper could not. Since the computer could hold any structure in any form, this was the way to go.

The point is that these decisions they've made are partly for your convenience and partly for theirs and partly out of stereotypes that they carry with them from the conventions of the computer field.

So, that notion of hypertext seemed to me immediately obvious because footnotes were already the ideas wriggling, struggling to get free, like a cat trying to get out of your arms.

The four walls of paper are like a prison because every idea wants to spring out in all directions - everything is connected with everything else, sometimes more than others.

People disparage knowing and the intellectual life, and urge doing. I am content with knowing, if only I could know.

Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.

Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.

The refusal to rest content, the willingness to risk excess on behalf of one's obsessions, is what distinguishes artists from entertainers, and what makes some artists adventurers on behalf of us all.

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

They've also, the government's decided now, what sexual content is.

Many hard comments have been made on my efforts in India from the side of the Congress party, yet I feel content in the deep conviction that the offer I traveled 22,000 miles to discuss with Indian leaders was a real contribution to a solution of our differences.

I endeavor to be wise when I cannot be merry, easy when I cannot be glad, content with what cannot be mended and patient when there be no redress.

There is no reality of consciousness independent of the effects of various vehicles of content on subsequent action (and hence, of course, on memory).

There's probably a way to use that great content and to live under the radar now and then in order to reach a new audience. That's the thinking I'm talking about.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things.

What comprises good performance? The ability through singing or playing to make the ear conscious of the true content and affect of a composition.

The problem is we need much more moral content.

Part of keeping space open is not to try to choose a form - to spend more time thinking about content, and let form take care of itself.

If we thought it would improve our relationship, we would get married tomorrow, but as it is, nearly 7 years after we got engaged, we are content to wait.

If any man claims the Negro should be content... let him say he would willingly change the color of his skin and go to live in the Negro section of a large city. Then and only then has he a right to such a claim.

Comedy is really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title.

Perhaps our only sickness is to desire a truth which we cannot bear rather than to rest content with the fictions we manufacture out of each other.

Content is often the reason users come to your site.

To praise it would amount to praising myself. For the entire content of the work... coincides almost exactly with my own meditations which have occupied my mind for the past thirty or thirty-five years.

Why should you be content with so little? Why shouldn't you reach out for something big?

In Japan, people don't really sing about sexual content.

You can browse to your heart's content but it's hard work and not easy on the feet unless you do it through catalogs or the Internet, and I like to touch and try on the things I buy.

If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.

One often thinks that using 2 different things like visual and sound lead to 2 different conclusions - to a different content - but in in my case it is all one.

Movie distribution may very well have migrated fully to digital form by then, making a huge dent in the need to print film and physically distribute content.

I'd never been content in America.

The most virtuous are those who content themselves with being virtuous without seeking to appear so.
