Nick had quite a day today. Nick was clearly the best player on the field today and was dangerous any time he got the ball. Their defense was struggling to keep up with him. People don't realize how fast he is, they underestimated his speed and they got burned today.

Open standards are needed for digital technology to continue to develop and create economic growth in the information age. Additionally, open innovation is propelling change in commerce beyond the borders of software and information technology, even into physical goods.

We've staked out as our business model to operate in those areas of the IT industry where research can make a difference, which is pretty nice for the research team.

A long time ago, people didn't think there was science in computer science. If you were a member of the IBM Academy, you were in hardware. There was no deep intellectual depth in software. Now people say the same thing about services.

I'm not real worried (about the tie and the loss in the last two games). If stuff like this is going to happen, this is a good time for it to happen. We have to deal with a little adversity now. We're going to find out what kind of character we have and get back on track. I know the talent is there.
