I have several computer companies. One of them I have a program for wide-format printing. I have a beauty program. So I have several different programs that I own for printing.
Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don’t have to be that good to be much better. Any time you stand in line at the DMV and look around, you’re like, ‘Oh, my God, I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers.’
Although I played a lot of computer games in my 20s, now I have children of my own, I hate them with a passion.
The only thing I do on a computer is play Texas Hold ‘Em, really. Obviously my cell phone is a computer. My car is a computer. I’m on computers every day without actively seeking them out.
I can write anywhere. But I don’t use a computer, and I could never write on a laptop. I hate the sound of computers; it’s too dull, like it’s not doing anything for you.
I shopped at J. Crew in high school, I studied computer science. I was a nerd-nerd, now I’m a music-nerd.
I’m totally active. I am just this side of hyper. I jog and go to the gym every day. When I’m on the computer, I’m reading, I’m writing, I’m never quiet. My brain is very rarely not engaged. Every now and again I will fall asleep under the parasol in the sun, but that’s a rarity.
I started trying to do my own music at home, and I was like, ‘You know what, I can play the guitar, sort of. And I can do these things, sort of. And I can make these crazy noises on my computer, sort of. But I need a ridiculously good drummer. I need someone to help me with string arrangements.’
I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand, namely, exactly nothing.
A computer shall not waste your time or require you to do more work than is strictly necessary.
I have files, I have computer files and, you know, files on paper. But most of it is really in my head. So God help me if anything ever happens to my head!
Unlike sitting at a computer screen, printing is very direct and hands-on.
This is a global fight to get the right people in the right place and we’re talking about people with PhDs in engineering, computer science, mathematics.
In 1966 I became president of the British Computer Society.
When I was growing up, I was an ’80s baby, so I remember the Sega Genesis and the first Nintendo. I grew up in a time when we first started playing video games on a computer screen. Now there are headsets and your body’s the controller.
To better understand why you need a personal computer, let’s take a look at the pathetic mess you call your life.
I still find the best way to understand a hospitalized patient whose care I am taking over is not by staring at the computer screen but by going to see the patient; it’s only at the bedside that I can figure out what is important.
At this moment I do not have a personal relationship with a computer.
If you take a Baroque commode and put a Baroque clock on top of it, maybe it is not so interesting as when you put a computer on top of it. Then you see both items in a new way.
I didn’t even get a computer till I was 16, so I didn’t have Internet when I was in middle school and beginning of high school. I didn’t think to be looking things up and looking at message boards saying whether people liked me or not.
If you get 10,000 guys to put their ideal woman into a computer, it still comes out looking like Angelina Jolie.
Even when I was studying mathematics, physics, and computer science, it always seemed that the problem of consciousness was about the most interesting problem out there for science to come to grips with.
I love making music, I love composing on my computer, just making crazy ethnic slack orchestral tracks, that’s one of my fun things.
‘Mean’ is a song I wrote about somebody who wrote things that were so mean so many times that it would ruin my day. Then it would ruin the next day. And it would level me so many times, I just felt like I was being hit in the face every time this person would take to their computer.
The power of the computer is starting to spread.
I am severely distracted these days. It’s hard to sit in front of the computer, uploading bad music for hours, when you have a wonderful boyfriend who treats you like a Goddess.
There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.
As I got older, I fell in love with Radiohead, and ‘OK Computer’ is one of my favorite albums of theirs. Sonically, the tone of the guitars on tracks like ‘Electioneering’ just rips right through me.
A computer does not substitute for judgment any more than a pencil substitutes for literacy. But writing without a pencil is no particular advantage.
I’m also very impressed with the best people in experimental electronic world, like Peta and Eckart Aillers and Finez and Jim O’Rourke and Oren Umbarci and Francesco Lopez. Most of them use the computer as their main instrument.
If you’re sitting in your minivan, playing your computer animated films for your children in the back seat, is it the animation that’s entertaining you as you drive and listen? No, it’s the storytelling. That’s why we put so much importance on story. No amount of great animation will save a bad story.
I combine magic and science to create illusions. I work with new media and interactive technologies, things like artificial intelligence or computer vision, and integrate them in my magic.
My desk is like a ‘U,’ so I have my computer and lots of dictionaries because I write in Spanish and I live in English.
The optimum telephone is one that I think some day is gonna be embedded behind your ear. It’s gonna have an extraordinarily powerful computer running the cell phone.
When I worked in an office, I was definitely using a computer that should’ve been long gone over a decade ago but wasn’t because it wasn’t broken so they weren’t going to fix it.
When I left Apple, it had $2 billion of cash. It was the most profitable computer company in the world – not just personal computers – and Apple was the number one selling computer.
Making AI more sensitive to the full scope of human thought is no simple task. The solutions are likely to require insights derived from fields beyond computer science, which means programmers will have to learn to collaborate more often with experts in other domains.
It’s interesting now that basically a CG set is the same cost as a real set. So like if you’re going to build a CG house in the suburbs, it costs you $200,000. And if you were going to build it in a computer, it’ll cost you $200,000. It’s the same… the relationship is exactly the same.
If you’re too embarrassed and want to hide behind your computer screen, that’s what this is for. It’s about building confidence and that’s what U by Kotex does. Girls owning their bodies and health.

In terms of the brain, you can in a crude way think of the human brain as a computer.
Anyone with a little computer experience knows that anything can be copied bit by bit with the right equipment.
Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.
I loved my computer; it’s a tool. A tool increases your mechanical advantages. It allows you to use your strengths and talents to greater advantage, and that’s what tools do, and that’s what my computer does for me. It’s not my toy, it’s my tool.
I used to type, but now, typing or working with a computer, I get a stiff neck. So I prefer writing longhand.
The functional uses of machines and innovative computer programs is not to isolate us but, rather, to promote coexistence. If used properly, it brings us together, granting unimaginable opportunities, magnifying the most quintessential and exclusively human capabilities.
A movie I must have seen 10 times is ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull.’ It’s an old movie, but still such a beautiful message. If I had only one film I could take on my computer on a desert island, I would take ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull.’
Hard times are when a man has worked at a job for 30 years – 30 years – and they give him a watch, kick him in the butt, and say, ‘Hey, a computer took your place, daddy.’ That’s hard times!
I have ADD or something. Even when I am doing something, it’s me on the computer, I’m painting and I’m writing music. I have to rotate what I’m doing every 15 minutes.
I was an accomplished computer trespasser. I don’t consider myself a thief.
I have three desks. One empty for paperwork, one for the internet and email, and one for the writing computer.
I’m a huge nerd, I admit to that. I love to play video games, I love to read, and of course, I’ve gotta still get my studies in and all. I love to learn. But I also love to do stop motion animation with my little Lego figures. I love to play around on the computer with that.
