With our next generation hardware, polygon rendering will probably be an area we'll get more heavily into.

So the guy that we're really targeting our system at this year is one of the guys who brought a 16bit system three or four years ago and has pretty much had it with that, and he's ready to buy something new.

What that means initially is that you have alot of products that are only slightly better games in the same genre on another machine - and the titles that really take advantage of the machine come along later.

But any big change is more likely to result if there is a disruptive event such as new technologies or platforms that have a surprising effect on market share.

We also had good software in the key categories and more focus on the gameplaying capability, so more of the marketing effort was targeted at game customers.

I can't tell you how important it was for us to be successful in japan.

None of our competitors have ever made two systems that run the same software.

We'll look at the japanese launch as a model and aspire to have things go as well as they did over there.

Digital Chocolate has 60% of its developers in Finland where the sun never sets in the summer and there is nothing to do outside in the winter, so we are very productive!

The way companies hang on to their marketshare is by being scared.

There's a basic principle about consumer electronics: it gets more powerful all the time and it gets cheaper all the time. that's true of all types of consumer electronics.

From day one our next generation system will run all our exsisting software - so that gives us a head start.

I'm not saying that more performance wouldn't be better - all these technologies are going to get better - that's the difference between first generation and second generation.

But we also think that we've got more quite alot more support than any new format has ever had.

And initially, a lot of companies avoid trying to make a really radical new kind of title for a new system, because that would involve learning a new machine and learning how to make the new title at the same time.

Console game publishing has become more like theatrical release film-making and it is very hard if you are not one of the major publishers, and even for them it is hard unless they are working with major game brands.

As a result, we will continue to see more innovation on the Internet and on mobile phones than on consoles.

The only problem we've had is the amount of time it's taking people to develop titles.

With our next generation hardware, polygon rendering will probably be an area we'll get more heavily into.

We want to make as big a market as we can with our current product.

Online console gaming will continue to grow at a healthy pace.

If you always wanted to wait for something better, you'd never buy anything, right?

In the 1950s in Columbia, South Carolina, it was considered OK for kids to play with weird things. We could go to the hardware store and buy 100 feet of dynamite fuse.

You were up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and then you'd ride in a caravan, because we didn't have big movie trucks or trailers that is the hardware of a movie camp.

I also taught myself how to blow glass using a propane torch from the hardware store and managed to make some elementary chemistry plumbing such as tees and small glass bulbs.

Thompson and Ritchie were among the first to realize that hardware and compiler technology had become good enough that an entire operating system could be written in C, and by 1978 the whole environment had been successfully ported to several machines of different types.

We are not intimidated by the size of the armies, or the type of hardware the US has brought.

So when we go into a large hardware bid, there is usually a services component that is part of that. So as we enter these deals, we tend to talk about the capabilities and what else needs to be done, and from there the bid might expand beyond hardware to the services.

My background is in hardware design. I found hardware work to be a welcome change from thousands of hours of programming and that led to the designs you mentioned.

In designing hardware to be used every day, it was important to keep both the human aspects and the machine in mind. What looks good also often feels good.

With bundled machines you can throw away the hardware and keep the software, and it's still a good buy.

It's more about conception and touch and spirit and soul than whether my hardware was in place.

I don't worry about great visuals that they showed that weren't actually running on real hardware. It doesn't matter. Gamers don't make their purchase decisions based on movies that were shown in May for products that come out in March.

Hardware works best when it matters the least.

When I was quite young, she was working in a hardware store, so I grew up knowing about hardware.

Software comes from heaven when you have good hardware.

The fellow that owns his own home is always just coming out of a hardware store.

We have lost one shuttle for every 57 flights and that is not a good ratio. I do believe we need to continue space flights, but maybe we can follow the example of the Russians and use unmanned vehicles to transport hardware into space.

Since Star Wars, that film's success led to bigger budgets, more hardware, that the great movies like the ones I did, which were studio movies, are now independent movies. They range from half a million to several million, and a lot of those have very interesting roles.

People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.

I think that the most beautiful thing lately hasn't been in hardware or software per se but collaboration - the idea behind Napster, which uses the distributed power of the Internet as its engine.

When we get the final hardware, the performance is just going to skyrocket.

It's hardware that makes a machine fast. It's software that makes a fast machine slow.

The hardware manufacturers, game designers, cable companies and computer companies and, in fact, film studios are going to ensure that this thing marches on. They know that they are going to make an enormous amount of money from it.

Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading manuals without the software.

With our next generation hardware, polygon rendering will probably be an area we'll get more heavily into.

Rank does not intimidate hardware. Neither does the lack of rank.

If I was designing a web site for elementary school children, I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools.

If you think it's going to rain, it will.
