In '93 to '94, every browser had its own flavor of HTML. So it was very difficult to know what you could put in a Web page and reliably have most of your readership see it.

Web pages are designed for people. For the Semantic Web, we need to look at existing databases.

Intellectual property is an important legal and cultural issue. Society as a whole has complex issues to face here: private ownership vs. open source, and so on.

We shouldn't build a technology to colour, or grey out, what people say. The media in general is balanced, although there are a lot of issues to be addressed that the media rightly pick up on.

The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.

Physicists analyze systems. Web scientists, however, can create the systems.

We need diversity of thought in the world to face the new challenges.

Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space.

I think IT projects are about supporting social systems-about communications between people and machines. They tend to fail due to cultural issues.

We could say we want the Web to reflect a vision of the world where everything is done democratically. To do that, we get computers to talk with each other in such a way as to promote that ideal.

The Mobile Web Initiative is important - information must be made seamlessly available on any device.

Celebrity damages private life.

The Google algorithm was a significant development. I've had thank-you emails from people whose lives have been saved by information on a medical website or who have found the love of their life on a dating website.

Customers need to be given control of their own data-not being tied into a certain manufacturer so that when there are problems they are always obliged to go back to them.

The important thing is the diversity available on the Web.

The Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it's managed responsibly.

Most larger companies now see that for the market to grow, Web infrastructure must be royalty-free.

Compared even to the development of the phone or TV, the Web developed very quickly.

The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

The challenge is to manage the Web in an open way-not too much bureaucracy, not subject to political or commercial pressures. The U.S. should demonstrate that it is prepared to share control with the world.

In '93 to '94, every browser had its own flavor of HTML. So it was very difficult to know what you could put in a Web page and reliably have most of your readership see it.

Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.

You affect the world by what you browse.

IT professionals have a responsibility to understand the use of standards and the importance of making Web applications that work with any kind of device.

Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.

Whatever the device you use for getting your information out, it should be the same information.

What is a Web year now, about three months? And when people can browse around, discover new things, and download them fast, when we all have agents - then Web years could slip by before human beings can notice.

When it comes to professionalism, it makes sense to talk about being professional in IT. Standards are vital so that IT professionals can provide systems that last.

The most important thing that was new was the idea of URI-or URL, that any piece of information anywhere should have an identifier, which will allow you to get hold of it.

Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch.

The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.

Everybody who runs a Web site knows we're not assured of compatibility, and we could end up with a split.

I basically wrote the code and the specs and documentation for how the client and server talked to each other.

Any good software engineer will tell you that a compiler and an interpreter are interchangeable.

That idea of URL was the basic clue to the universality of the Web. That was the only thing I insisted upon.

After doing the first couple scenes and I got used to being in front of a few people it got easier and easier. In Chasing Amy, I wasn't nervous at all. And in Dogma, the same.

I have worked really hard on my game, but I think my mother has been a real pillar of strength. She has prayed a lot, sacrificed a lot for me. You know, she hasn't seen me bat so far. When I am batting, she is praying... mothers are like that, aren't they?

Men may yearn for peace, cry for peace, and work for peace, but there will be no peace until they follow the path pointed out by the Living Christ. He is the true light of men's lives.

Having a low opinion of yourself is not modesty. It's self-destruction. Holding your uniqueness in high regard is not egotism. It's a necessary precondition to happiness and success.

I am my own secretary; I dictate, I compose, I copy all myself.

Why isn't it natural for people who have lived and worked at something to want to use the knowledge and capacity in a new way, free from the burden of making a living?

Relationships are about helping motivate each other to be all that you can be.

In a way then, the Divine Principle, this new revelation, is the documentary of my life. It is my own life experience. The Divine Principle is in me, and I am in the Divine Principle.

Ultimately, education in its real sense is the pursuit of truth. It is an endless journey through knowledge and enlightenment.

But, if there's any aspect of my career that needs attention, it's writing.

I have no idea what I'm going to say when I stand up to give a toast. But I do know that anything I say I find funny.

I found out was, by the rhythm of my chewing, how I chewed fast, slow or what have you, I could tell the audience what my character was thinking and feeling.

A fool must now and then be right, by chance.

I've got a few reasons why I've got to maintain stability. I've got into wanting people to hear my music. I've got something I want people to hear because I know they'll like it. They've gotta like it! The songs I've been writing are the sort of things you have to like.
