David Orr

Hannu Toivonen

We're going to do a couple of smaller things to accommodate more people, but we're not going into all-out Division Series mode.

Scott Hennig

Smaller manufacturers have seen some deterioration in the rate of profit growth, but the continued strength in sales, exports and capital investment indicates they have not yet been seriously affected by recent global turmoil.

Jerry Jasinowski

The extra accuracy and gain allows you to use smaller shunts. A smaller current sensor requires more accuracy on the part of the chip, and it also less costly, smaller, and simplifies the design. So by having a more accurate measurement front-end on these chips, it allows a user to deploy a smaller sensor that is easier to implement.

Trent Butcher

Saturn is not going away, ... Neither are the planets. What's the rush? Why not delay our space probes a bit, make them smaller and more sophisticated and use solar power?

As Apple and its competitors introduce ever-smaller form factors, flash memory will need to have a higher storage capacity, quicker retrieval speeds, smaller footprints and lower prices.

Peter Cohan

It (was) awesome. I like smaller crowds like that.

Brad Mates

The berries are more numerous here, and some seem to be smaller than any we've ever seen. And interestingly, some don't appear to be round.

Steve Squyres

Seeing as Harvard Pilgrim was the smaller of the three carriers, it was easier for them to grow. They don't have anything to lose.
