Even people who don't like Microsoft we talked to late yesterday were shocked. They felt this could give Microsoft an opening in the appeals process to claim, 'We didn't get due process, this judge was too impetuous, he moved too quickly.' Considering how great a job Jackson has done, for him to give Microsoft an opening at this late date was a little surprising.

Greg Valliere

It's a little surprising to me that after 18 years they were considering bringing in someone else.

Jeff Clements

It has that air, ... It would be surprising if it was Jean Chretien that leaked that part of the report. Who has an interest in doing that?

Gilles Duceppe

The American people take the view that both parties are involved and there's not much surprising about it.

Tom Fitton

I don't think anybody's panicking, because it can't go up in a straight line forever. It's probably a healthy blow-off of steam, and it's not surprising that it's occurring on a Friday.

Ryan Wibberley

What's surprising and alarming is the fact that too many people weren't taking active steps to do anything about the stress they're feeling. People don't really appreciate how detrimental stress is and the ways they're trying to manage stress can be as detrimental, if not more so.

Russ Newman

It's simply not sensible for the government to say there's no link. What I think is surprising is that the government denies there's any link - but the government's handling of this has been rather inept politically from start to finish.

Liam Fox

It's a great accomplishment for the league. But really, it's not completely surprising if you go back and look at how strong the conference has been all season.

Dick Baddour

He was an underdog all the way. It was real surprising for him to finish second.

Jim Jordan

The ties aren't that surprising to me. It's anybody's game in (the SCC). It's whoever is on that day.

Polly Lawrence

After the Democratic nominee is all but certain in the late winter/early spring, it would not be surprising for us to fall behind for a bit.

Matthew Dowd

It's a little surprising to me that we blew them out with them being the No. 1 team in the nation.

Brian Thompson

It is definitely more surprising that we found this in chimpanzees.

Felix Warneken

It was surprising to see how well, technically, we looked. I knew we always fought hard but I was surprised with how technically sound we looked this weekend.

Nick Durham

The acceleration of the past several months has been quite stunning, so it's not surprising to get a bit of a pause. After an unusually warm December, January was unusually cold and snowy. That may have affected production.

Klaus Baader

It's at least got to the level where the SEC believes that there is an issue and it's become more serious. Generally it's seen as not good news. It's not that surprising and it doesn't mean that anyone has drawn any conclusions.

Brad Lewis

Wal-Mart is committed to making a positive contribution to working families and we do it every day. We're disappointed that some continue to ignore the facts and fail to provide any real vision for the future. It's not surprising that organized labor is under such scrutiny when they have so little to say.

Christi Gallagher

This is a little surprising, because I know that some of the integration work had already taken place, so I was under the impression that they were on track to close.

Robert Martin

It is an unfortunate and surprising incident. We were surprised to be told to go back when we had not violated any immigration laws. We did not jump the border.

Nelson Chamisa

The results are already surprising me, because I was selfish. I believe I am going to make it.

Michael Huffman

It's surprising to the average person to hear they are good family dogs. They are a very smart breed and very loyal to their owners.

Amy Mallo

It was surprising. He's a really good player. He's a really good ballplayer, a Pro Bowl player and everything. He's a monster.

Mike Patterson

What we did find a little surprising is that over half that number represents children and the elderly, which is some of our most vulnerable population groups.

Shelley Harper

We want you to find stories that are relevant, [that] you can apply directly to your life. Surprising, in-depth, contextual stories that help us make good decisions about the future.

Chris Johns

Information in the context of information theory does not include 'meaning,' but it focuses on how rare, surprising, predictable or complex a message is.

Ryuji Suzuki

I was surprised because he wasn't trying to block my shot. Every time I went at him, he backed off and it was kind of surprising.

Casey Moore

The revenue guidance for this quarter going forward was unimpressive. That's surprising people especially.

Michael Cohen

... in the wake of the one-year commemoration it shouldn't be surprising that we have a sustained level of interest.

Frederic Schwartz

I don't know how many generals there are. There are a couple thousand at least, and they're going to have opinions. It's not surprising, we're in a war.

Frederic Ruffy

For a small independent publishing company to get a license for the biggest cartoon character in the world was surprising.

Eric Reynolds

It wasn't surprising that West Vegas played as hard as they did. We could have done things a little better, but it's district time. Everything's more intense.

Ernie Rodriguez

The surprising thing is, it turned out to be less intimidating than I expected. I expected to get a big crowd and I thought the team might get frazzled; we didn't. I expected Stanford to come out and just dominate us; they didn't. As far as pressure goes, it was less than I expected.

Erin Walker

It would certainly be rare, but considering the circumstances it's not surprising. It's well known the city is having severe fiscal difficulties.

Eric Hoffman

Women's teams have traditionally performed at levels a bit higher than men's teams academically, so that's not surprising. African-American student-athletes (male and female) are doing better academically than in the past.

Erik Christianson

If consumer confidence keeps surprising, it's going to make it easier for the Fed to keep the accelerator on.

Enrico Caruso

The most surprising aspect of the earnings release was management's more conservative outlook for the rest of the year, driven by the impact of higher oil prices on consumer spending.

Emme Kozloff

These numbers are not surprising, but they are worrisome.

Elisabeth Ross

Your powers are dead or dedicated. If they are dedicated, they are alive with God and tingle with surprising power. If they are saved up, taken care of for their own ends, they are dead.

Eli Stanley Jones

I don't think anyone will find it surprising, ... For better or worse, for artists - and Kate Moss is an artist in her own way - (drug use) is tolerated.

Elizabeth Harrison

It's not surprising that he was emotional. It was a long time coming for him. You have to look up to someone like that. He told us never to second-guess ourselves, and not to believe what outsiders were saying about us. We want to go out and play hard the rest of the season for him.

Ekene Ibekwe

The really surprising thing is the lack of inflation given this kind of growth.

Edward Mckelvey

The thing that's really surprising everybody is his composure on the mound. The way he handles himself on the field, you wouldn't think he's 19 years old.

Eddie Guardado

Greed on the part of banks is never surprising. Fortunately, not all the cards are doing it.

Ed Perkins
