Martin Reynolds Quotations

Ultimately, all these decisions are about money. If you're running a business, you've got to have income, and the income has got to cover expenses. And if you want to keep your position as CEO, you'd better satisfy the stockholders.

Ultimately, all these decisions are about money, ... If you're running a business, you've got to have income, and the income has got to cover expenses. And if you want to keep your position as CEO, you'd better satisfy the stockholders.

There are some little bits falling off the edge, small things, that may ultimately have an influence on the industry.

We've still got a long way to go.

When the market is going strong, meeting demand is often an issue, even for the biggest chip makers.

Let's say the judge finds that Microsoft is a monopoly and says, OK, I'm going to get my Sword of Solomon out and then we'll have 'Microsoft Applications' and 'Microsoft Operating Systems,' ... The applications division would then pursue other operating systems than Windows to put its applications onto, and the operating systems division would pursue ways to be more competitive without having to tie it to the applications.

Lenders could be unwittingly exposing themselves; they may think they are lending 85 per cent when in fact it's more like 95 per cent, which is why some are getting wary.

Obviously, US Robotics is a shadow of what it used to be when it dominated the modem business.

Right now, e-commerce is a little stripling. But if you could pick up a small part of every transaction a company would be doing well.

But a lot depends on how the case finally sorts itself out.

If any computer maker benefits from Microsoft's woes, it will probably be Apple.

Having offices raided indicates an investigation has made it to a certain point, but it could still have a long way to go before it's over. These things are often long processes.

I think we need another major player in the market so I'm concerned about the merger. They're going to have to reach an accommodation of some sort with the regulators, who aren't going to like it.

It is impossible to stop the market gain of the x86.

Long term, the big question is whether Intel and HP can drive the Itanium into the high-volume market. If anything is going to replace the x86 processor, it is going to be the Itanium, but that is not going to happen for the next 10 to 20 years.

It could very well be a negotiating ploy.

We believe that this creates a unique marketing opportunity for the Eastern Cape, which is already seen as a prime tourism destination for well-known celebrities.

Without companies like Red Hat providing support, Linux would be a lot less popular than it is now, ... because it gives businesses the sense of security and support structure they need in order for an enterprise-wide deployment.

You are going to get much better value from x86 processors and the demand for cheaper processors is growing.

Tiffany would really like to restrict secondary sales of its products, as this would then force people to buy exclusively from Tiffany. The net effect would be to increase Tiffany's sales.

What it means is there's always going to be work for the processors to do,

With a 60 percent profit margin, even after spending $10 billion on promotion and development, the participants still stand to make an $8 billion profit.

When a company basically admits it was caught and settles in a big, public way, it really changes the landscape in terms of competition. It also puts other companies on notice that the government has the ability to find out about what are supposed to be back-room dealings.

We think within three years, 60 percent of all desktop computers shipped will be these small form-factor devices. And that could happen even sooner.

The one thing they have to be careful of is not driving clicks to advertising sites just to build revenues. They have to be legitimate clicks.

We were optimistic and expecting some turnaround in the third quarter with strength in the fourth quarter. But what's happening is that the signs are so poor, we're not confident we're going to see that now.

Big RISC computers are used, for example, in payment-card processing, banking, and airline reservations.

There will be significant new demands on application developers and enterprise I.T. buyers. Architectural shifts could bring fast growth in processor cores, especially for server devices.

Pretty much everything shipped over the last few years will be able to run Vista, and the stuff shipping now will be running it at the top level. Microsoft does a good job of preparing everybody.

Dell doesn't sell AMD. If they were going to flip to AMD, it would have happened a year ago.

A single-provider solution may be acceptable today, but enterprises must make long-term plans to guard against possible loss of service. If BlackBerry users do not have confidence in the level of redundancy RIM offers, they may need to consider alternative providers.

This is building on further deployment of virtualization software. Virtualization hardware will certainly offer more efficient, more robust use of virtual machines.

This is going to keep us rolling for several more years before they have to do something different.

This announcement is important for Intel, but also for users. It doesn't upset what users have now, it won't cause instability in their systems, and it'll bring them more capability.

For Dell and IBM, the HP-Compaq merger is a win,

Everyone but the people involved with HP-Compaq seem to win, doesn't it?

They are well on the path to delivering. Delivery of multiple cores, in a way, is easy because it's just extra copies of the existing processor.

It's really the next step in the evolution of desktop management systems. Today, management systems rely on the integrity of the operating system that they're trying to manage, and most of the time the reason you want to manage something is because the operating system is broken. Intel is breaking that link with these new systems.

If you believe your business cannot run without RIM, start looking at deploying other technologies and set up a small pilot.

Intel has some breathing room, but they need to get moving.

Intel has pretty much dominated the computing environment, but it made some decisions that cramped its progress. It hasn't been able to handle the needed performance increases.

In the long term, we're going to need media players on our PCs. It's going to be part of the standard digital content. And this just makes it a fraction harder for it all to be Microsoft.

In places where this processor works well, it's going to provide a big advantage over everybody else,

I don't think there can be another one. Microsoft is sort of a fluke.

You could see a lot more Linux on PCs. It could also allow for more Linux in appliances like DVD players.

The first thing we would see is the applications popping up on things like Solaris and Linux, which would bring them more strongly into play and potentially clear the way for other manufacturers to build Linux processors, ... But they still wouldn't have the benefit of all the legacy software, so I don't see that this is suddenly going to cause the whole Windows thing to fall over flat on its face.

The company built their name around modems, but the days of modems are long past,

A monopoly is good for shareholders. You get a higher return on your investment than you should have.

AMT is clever. The real key is remote management. It integrates into the platform. A microcontroller allows an administrator to wake the system up, even when it's lights out.

The market is too competitive for a business that's not operating at peak efficiency.
