Users were down on the future right after Katrina, and it showed in our surveys. Then last month they more than doubled their spending outlook when users realized the economy was still perking along. This month they came back to earth. Small business executives were especially realistic.

John Gantz

This means that users of even the smallest, lightest systems will have both Pentium III performance levels, but also the best battery life.

Frank Spindler

Although end users have expectations of IT to educate and protect them, they may not always help in overcoming network security challenges. In fact, they could make it more difficult. Eye-opening revelations like these highlight the security challenges IT departments face within their own organizations and should motivate them to ensure greater protection across their enterprise.

Max Cheng

Much of the ferment going on with the Internet today is based on individuals creating Internet-based sites that facilitate collaboration among users.

Bernard Golden

The increase in service tax means you pay more now. It adds up to a lot for entry-level users. Any escalation like this affects the end-user directly.

Kobita Desai

They are positioning themselves as the company that will connect video content to the end users and control your living room.

Shannon Cross

Supporting users on two-user interfaces may be too hard, so even if there is a slow roll out of Vista, there may need to be a faster roll out of Office [12].

Michael Silver

Now end users can get the full desktop experience from remote locations, using the PC, thin clients, and mobile devices, with applications available on a central server.

Jerry Chen

The technique represents a major advancement over the existing methods used by audio software. It improves the way users can organize, navigate and visualize audio files and how they can interact with music on their audio player, PC or the Internet.

Xavier Serra

Demand for office space exceeded completions by 79 percent during the third quarter. Office users want to work near where they live, which is why we're seeing more commercial development near growing residential areas, like the southwest.

John Restrepo

The best leaders... almost without exception and at every level, are master users of stories and symbols.

Thomas J. Peters

We are breaking down some of the artificial barriers between e-mail and Web browsing. We observed by talking with our users that there is no reason to think of IM as different from an e-mail message.

Salar Kamangar

For business users, bringing on new equipment, much like changing operating systems, has to be because there's a demonstrated need.

Michael Silver

Business users typically have concerns about a new Microsoft product, and that concern was proven to be fairly meaningful when that UPnP bug was revealed. They want to wait for those things to happen and get fixed.

Al Gillen

Our unique approach to auto indexing has resulted in near-perfect accuracy among early users. With the introduction of SIRE Auto Index, the rules have changed regarding content management. It simply takes less time and effort to scan, index and validate documents, thereby boosting organizational productivity.

Kris Painter

This bog walk is individualized sections of floating dock, if you will. It allows trail users to get right out into boggy areas they would otherwise be unable to go (to) except during freeze up.

Tim Howard

We are talking about a network of marine protected areas that is defined from both an ecological and eco-system perspective as well as from the perspective of the users.

Achim Steiner

Each end user's data is being continually backed up.

Dwight Simmons

It raises red flags where the water will come from and what impact that may have on other water users. It is the responsibility of the public to ensure there is an effective water supply before development.

Ryan Demmy Bidwell

Bottom line, this is very good news for BlackBerry users. It means their service will continue, and it allows RIM to continue going after corporate business.

Tim Bajarin

Problems in pinpointing where a call is coming from can arise as users move from one wireless PBX or (local area network) access point to another.

Matthias Machowinski

Integr8 IT has configured a private APN to allow for 3G, Edge, GPRS and GPRS+ access into the virtual private network. This will allow users a totally secure and regulated link into a company's network.

Robert Sussman

The importance of media attention from an awareness and educational standpoint has been a very good thing. It alerts users to what may have happened and the destruction that could have occurred.

Marc Solomon

I've hit my limit at 1.8 million users. This time I'm going to go for 10 million.

John Berryman

China is still the market with the largest potential, ... It adds about five million mobile phone users a month.

Carl henric Svanberg

The web is playing a powerful role for a younger demographic that hasn't traditionally been a target for the higher-priced offerings of the financial services industry. The growth of younger users online is a potential boon for these companies, but because these users are more financially savvy, you have to demonstrate that you're dedicated to serving them.

Andy Jones

One of the biggest things is lack of motivation on the user's part. We've set up a help line as well as an email, but we haven't received much feedback.

Kevin Mcgehee

It makes sense that search engine users, who arrive at sites they may not be familiar with, are much less likely to purchase a big-ticket item, such as a computer or television, than they are for a toy.

Ali Behnam

It's a way for enterprises to authenticate their users and then have those users trusted beyond the scope of just their business. We never thought of outsourcing Passport, previously, but there is tremendous market opportunity.

Brian Arbogast

Altogether, we serve over 4,000 clients and more than 16,000 end users in 115 countries. Those individuals have access to about 50 million items in our inventory.

Robert Lantz

The reason desktop search is so popular is that people can't find their stuff, ... If an IT manager has to choose between one search that works with applications, that has security permissions and rights wired in, versus rogue installations that users have installed themselves, they would probably go to one, organization-wide desktop search.

Sue Feldman

Soon, users will point their mobile phones at restaurants to get reviews, point at billboards to shop at the advertiser's website, point at a movie poster to buy tickets, or play a game by pointing at their friends.

John Ellenby

It's about providing a service that users really want.

Dan Rosensweig

The user does not have to sacrifice voice quality or quantity in exchange for converging their access via IP. The primary purpose of this product was to easily enable the user's first step toward an IP migration by converting their access to IP.

Lorena Mccalister

For the novice, it's very easy. They don't even have to know what RSS feeds are. They'll just start seeing them in the Sidebar. Advanced users can go in and customize to their hearts' delight.

Nikhil Bhatla

[But Yahoo executives stood by their earlier statement.] The number of documents in our index is accurate, ... We're proud of the accomplishments of our search engineers and scientists and look forward to continuing to satisfy our users by delivering the world's highest-quality search experience.

Jeff Weiner

Frequent travelers going to Singapore know that CDMA doesn't work in Singapore. With this service users could transfer the mobile phone image onto a PC.

Tom Kershaw

As soon as we got the report that users might be impacted, we began evaluating our options. We're releasing as soon as we possibly can.

Mike Schroepfer

It is because we remain committed to our users. Another company cannot just essentially hack into our system.

Ann Brackbill

Not all doorway page techniques are misleading users.

Markus Sagemann

Are Linux users lemmings collectively jumping off of the cliff of reliable, well-engineered commercial software?

Matt Welsh

The final decision is up to the FTC. But we hope the FTC would take into consideration that both companies compromised for the benefit of corporate consumers and end users.

Kwon Chan

We thought this would be the best way to provide users with a convenient and fun service while contributing to revenues.

Takeshi Natsuno

These ultra-mobile PCs combine the functionalities of personal digital assistants and notebooks, offering users real-time information wherever they go.

Sunny Han

You need to involve your users in all system implementations. But I don't mean just invite them to sit at the table. They have to actively participate in defining system needs and in making sure that [it's] usable.

Donna Fluss

This day is a truly momentous day for users of our nation's transportation infrastructure.

Brandon Young

What if we could allow end users to recover their own files? If you lost a file, why do you have to call IT to get it back? It's your files. We continuously track every single change at a block level and we move that across the network and we protect it.

Jeremy Burton

Tape is here for a long time to come. Very few users are completely abandoning tape despite growing interest in D2D and virtual tape. It has a definite future in backup and archiving.

Fara Yale

(The deal) brings to the forefront the value that satellites will have in the Internet world, as a means of bringing content to the edge of the network and improving speeds so that users can receive more robust applications.

Ty Carmichael

We are approximately 75% leased and are in negotiations with potential users of the three remaining 1,600-square-foot bays of retail shop space.

Craig Cole

Prices are high, but without those price increases we would not have seen the 20 percent decrease in industrial gas demand that has occurred over the past five years. One by one, industrial gas users are either shutting down or switching to substitute fuels.

Mark Hayes

The Z22 is a fairly strategic product, ... The goal is to bring new users into what they call the 'Palm economy' in the hope that, in a year or two, they may upgrade to a more fully featured model.

Todd Kort

The days are over when it's sufficient for a security professional to keep bad guys out of your network. These threats are not perimeter-based; they bypass security because they are initiated by users.

Paul Myer

Pattern modeling is very useful and a major step, but users don't always conform to those patterns. For example, when there is a specific event like a traffic jam or a big rugby game there is a big spike in mobile phone calls in a concentrated area. Traditional network design can't cope with those changes in network usage very well.

Mike Flanagan

Grateful that we do not have to turn away our 20 million users.

Shawn Fanning

This is all part of Sun's effort to remain relevant by making Solaris more attractive to users and blunting the growing interest in Linux by offering their own open-source technology.

Frank Gillett

The problem with VPNs and notebook computers is that firewalls are being bypassed by remote dial-in users, ... When we've put our software on a lot of people's machines, we see virtually everyone will undergo a hacker attack within just a few weeks.

Robert Graham

Richards-Zeta was selected for having shown excellence in the field and for having gone beyond its technical product advancements to encompass a comprehensive view of market dynamics that resulted in delivering on-going improvements for the end-users.

Jorge Moreno

It is sad that it took a Web site and a lot of publicity before they finally investigated, but at least future nano users with the same problem I had will not be subjected to the same treatment that I was.

Matthew Peterson

Households with children may use their washing machines every day, ergo they will be big users of detergent and fabric conditioners. And it's not a huge mental leap to say they also eat a lot of food. If they've got babies, they're going to be using a lot of diapers. And the kids are probably going to eat a lot of confectionary, and they'll be using a lot of soap and shampoo.

Phil Barden

Although the elderly are still the most frequent users of sleeping aids, the evidence found in this study shows that younger adults and children are starting to use these medications with even greater frequency.

Robert Epstein

I believe that we could prove that we have not induced any of the users to violate the copyright law.

Michael Weiss

If there was a gun to my head, I still could not reveal or break the privacy of my users.

Austin Hill

The most dynamic market remains the x86 server segment. These servers continue to be the choice in increasing numbers to meet the needs of more Web users accessing more file types from more access points than ever.

Jeffrey Hewitt

The on-chip optical interconnect work that we are funding today should be available to corporate users in about eight years. It will take a little longer to get it into defense systems.

David Honey

Most requested feature from our users.

Blake Irving

With more than 10 million UK households now using broadband Internet access, these findings suggest great potential for the online distribution of video content. As the base of users grows, access speeds increase, and the range of video available online expands to include more premium content, such as recent movies.

Senior Analyst

Any system we could build today that would come close to the needed level of security for a national election would be very hard for an average person to use, ... We couldn't use standard browsers, and we would need a way to authenticate users, like passwords or encryption keys.

Lorrie Cranor

[With] traditional toolbars, there's no more room to go as apps get more sophisticated, ... The traditional refrain from users is that they use 5 percent or whatever percent of Excel or Word. We want to focus on innovating the UI to show how the world has changed.

Chris Capossela

Working with Siemens will greatly increase the potential for new and existing users to take advantage of our rich communications suite. Today's announcement is a first step in a relationship that will expand and continue to benefit both Yahoo! and Siemens customers for a long time to come.

Brad Garlinghouse

For years, Microsoft Exchange and Outlook shared calendar users have been attempting to use the free/busy status to indicate the availability of co-workers. This has not proven successful as users do not typically enter lunch times and personal appointments in their shared calendar.

Mark Werner

Aside from a few activists, most people don't really care about censorship. My impression is that the blocks and filters are seen as an annoyance by most Chinese internet users, not as a huge problem.

Jeremy Goldkorn

We have athletic teams that are using the baseball and soccer fields that have to deal with this too. Park users are calling us with concerns, and we as a city are concerned about the unsanitary, unhealthy situation.

Tim Hansen

Many major manufacturers have either already developed or (are) planning to offer devices with Linux. The only thing that is needed to encourage the evolution of Linux mobile is a critical mass of users.

Konstantin Sapronov

While the Finder allows the user to find out that the file is an executable ? with a right-click, for example ? many users will not do that. They just look at the icon, which can be the same typically used for innocent files.

Michael Lehn

Users (should) apply the updates as quickly as possible.

Oliver Friedrichs

When you focus on the behavioral aspects of Internet users on dial-up, they're not doing as much as Internet users who have adopted.

John Horrigan

Unfortunately, users may not know a network does not support 911 services until they make those calls.

Bob Egan

Attackers are moving away from large, multipurpose attacks on network perimeters and toward smaller, more targeted attacks directed at web and client-side applications. As the threat landscape continues to change, users need to be diligent in keeping systems up-to-date with security patches and security solutions.

Richard Batchelar

We feel horrible about the political arrests of Internet users in China, but we believe it's better to be there and cooperate with the authorities than not be there.

Robin Pembrooke

But I don't see many of these flat panels popping up for mainstream users.

Kevin Knox

We've had some fairly decent years recently. It looks like another decent year for many of our users.

Jeff Mccracken

Once there is no state law, the city ordinance is what the cities and towns would go by and other places ... would have every right to keep punishing adult marijuana users if they chose to.

Mason Tvert

They are operations guys and big users of IP technology. And they have a strong penchant for investing in technology and developing it.

Stephen Meer

We think the high correlation between Internet users and mobile phone ownership suggests an opportunity for wireless services or applications that can link aspects of personalization across multiple Internet platforms. Still, it will be crucial for companies to let consumers know just how they can leverage personalization opportunities across multiple access devices to their benefit.

Brian Cruikshank

This enhancement means users have an easy way to understand the changes that have occurred between any two versions of a worksheet. Having changes presented graphically and representing the different types of change using color means users can comprehend the changes much more quickly improving their productivity.

Sandy Marshall

As a concept, I support a downtown arena, ... Unlike the last deal, this one should be totally financed by the sports authority and venue users unless the city will be receiving a meaningful piece of the revenue stream.

Carroll Robinson

The irrigation system is based on demand. We can't divert water down the system if the users aren't requesting it.

Vince Alberdi

We've always stood up well in comparison with our competitors in technical tests but users disliked that they had to pay $39 and that we had ads. We decided to eliminate these obstacles in order to attract users.

Jon Von Tetzchner

I have a G4 at home. They're great machines for individual users, and I even know a few core Linux hackers who are having a lot of fun with them. But if you want to move the needle on the non-Microsoft desktop, you've got to look elsewhere.

Nat Friedman

Interconnects and file systems are critical to what we do, the availability of a smaller advanced development system will ensure our users a positive first experience when they get onto the larger production machines.

Tom Kendall

They're happy using expensive disk if they don't have to pay for it. The benefits of ILM reside in the IT organization, and those benefits don't necessarily translate to business users.

Jim Damoulakis

Plumtree is an innovator in the portal software market, ... They've been successful in selling to business users; BEA's strength is the IT department.

Brian Mcdonough

None of this stuff is going to change things for users in the next 12 months.

Frank Gillett

Currently, the economic environment is not the critical factor affecting PC adoption cycles. What we're seeing now is a combination of PC replacements and new users responding to low-price milestones.

Loren Loverde

Attackers are moving away from large, multipurpose attacks on network perimeters toward smaller, more targeted attacks directed at Web and client-side applications. As the threat landscape continues to change, users need to be diligent in keeping systems up to date with security patches and security solutions.

Arthur Wong

These machines are geared toward niche markets for power users and fashionable mobile users, who are looking for second computers. They are a new innovation and we don't expect the initial volumes to be as high as those of portable computers.

Sunny Han

Non-toxicity is good on the manufacturing end, for users, and for the environment when the product's useful life is over.

Michael Rendon

You thought users benefited from that?

John Warden

(W)hen there's more engaged users, more advertisers want to be in front of them.

Charles Buchwalter

Next year is going to be the peak year in many different ways. We're seeing a steep increase in 3G users now, so we have to keep the momentum going next year.

Masao Nakamura

We will continue to send a strong message to the users of these illicit networks that their actions are illegal, they can be identified and the consequences are real.

Jenni Engebretsen

We are pleased to be making such positive progress toward our primary objective of one million users by June 30, 2007.

John Livingston

There would be cost and complexity, and the key for many business users, the reason they wouldn't migrate, is because it would just be too much effort for very little demonstrated need.

Michael Silver

Most harmful sites don't even reach our users.

Mike Foltz

For users, openness increases the trustworthiness.

Lu Shouqun

We want to bring regular users into the part of the Internet where they can take advantage of its commercial aspects. We're offering a platform for commercial participation.

Steve Mansfield

I'm of the opinion that users should know what's going into their computers. There should be no hidden software installed.

Natalie Lambert

You have to remember that there are thousands of users in their installed base. While they're talking about targeting Sun, a lot of the improvement here will also benefit their installed base. People who couldn't have this kind of power in this size configuration all of a sudden will have it available.

Jean Bozman

The challenge there is that we're looking for larger users, and there's been some leveling off of activity the number of clients looking to build large facilities. And rising fuel costs may have had an impact on that.

Larry Burkhardt

Home is still the dominant place to print, yet the anaemic number of prints supports IDC's theory that end users have more reliable expectations regarding mobile imaging than vendors themselves.

Chris Chute

Audio CD burning capability allows users to play burned music on players that don't have MP3 support, like a CD player. A beta tester burned a high school assignment to Audio CD using the new feature. She reported that the CD-R played flawlessly on the CD player available in the school, a CD player that was too old to recognize and play an MP3 CD.

Donna Johnson

PDF annual reports are principally useful only for printing, and sometimes for offline reference for experienced users. But they are not usable for online browsing, which is how most individual investors want to view online annual report information. Firms that post their reports only in PDF ignore the needs and preferences of most of their report users and put people off reading the report.

Dominic Jones

The mobile phone is the most popular digital device on the planet (1.7 billion users - about one quarter of the world's population - and counting).

Ankit Fadia

Companies need to maintain continuous access to vital information, and security is always a primary concern, especially on wireless networks. The technology partnership between Padcom(R) and RSA Security provides a valuable and secure connectivity solution to end users and we are pleased to continue the momentum of the RSA Secured Partner Program with the addition of Padcom(R).

Stuart Cohen

There are no viruses that spread without handset users actively accepting the installation. If a virus like this turns up soon, the market for mobile security solutions would change radically.

Risto Siilasmaa

Historically, the meticulousness of the users has been much more important than the manufacturer's identity. A good repair or service man is also important, and may not be brand-related.

Tom Cottrell

In the fourth quarter, as in the rest of 1999, we focused on two significant objectives -- serve the world's largest audience through integrated communications, commerce and media services, and provide the most effective interactive marketing platform for advertisers and merchants to connect with our users.

Jeff Mallett

Response to the HV Rack has been tremendous, and we are excited to offer these new user-requested options. They make the product available to another entire group of scientists and engineers, while offering current users even more flexibility in configuring their rack mount power supply.

James Morrison

If Wall Street, corporate users and real estate owners are looking to the service sector for information, and those companies don't provide it, they will be on the outs with their clients.

Ian Cameron

We're delivering a software update capability that is holistic, that takes into account how people use Firefox. This feature is one of the most significant enhancements. It has been a pain point for Firefox users and we believe we've delivered a solution that will let people stay current.

Chris Beard

Genesis will be as silent, as automatic for the users as we can make it. It's a natural evolution in security.

Tom Powledge

Although mobile spam is a relatively small problem compared with spam on fixed networks, unsolicited text or picture messages can exploit and offend mobile users. The widespread adoption of this code of practice will minimize these messages and reinforce the mobile industry's reputation for providing secure and trusted services.

Rob Conway

We are limiting the scope to transactional e-mails, which we define as bank statements or purchase receipts where our users have a pre-existing relationship with that sender.

Karen Mahon

The widespread use of zombie computers to commit crimes over the Internet presents a very real danger to law-abiding computer users.

Tim Cranton

We intend to disclose to users when information has been removed from our search results in response to local laws and regulations.

Andrew Mclaughlin

There are already some critics who say this bill is a good idea but it may not go far enough. The bill gives the [Federal Trade Commission] the authority to enforce this law, but it does not give users like you and me the right to sue.

Doug Isenberg

Our users spend more than twice the amount of time with us than any other financial site on the Web, so I think that clearly when you look at Yahoo Finance versus our competitors, there's breadth and there's depth.

Peggy White

It is not surprising that business users feel more secure online than consumers, with an array of firewalls and other defensive measures in place around them, but it is astonishing to see the extent to which both groups are willing to assume some level of risk in their transactions.

Art Coviello

This capability is configurable by end users, so that they can choose what is important for them to see. This may consist of reminders rather than the full dashboard because they don't want to expose the company's raw financial numbers to the vagaries of the e-mail infrastructure on the Internet.

Craig Sullivan

The emerging opportunity for DECT-based technology in North America was a key factor in our acquisition of KIRK telecom. Having DECT-based solutions will allow us to address new market opportunities with wireless technology that has been successfully serving mobile enterprise users throughout the world.

John Elms

I'm sure if we have a zero season or a severely restricted season, some people will go broke, and it doesn't really need to be. We need proper science and agreements with water users for habitat.

Don Snow

In the rapidly evolving commercial digital printing market, technology buyers and users need information and support year round. We recognized that the annual ON DEMAND Conference & Expo could be strengthened for both exhibitors and attendees by a dedicated website.

Christina Condos

We are pleased to work with QUALCOMM, the recognized leader in CDMA and 3G cellular technologies. Our relationship has resulted in the combination of two of the world's most popular wireless technologies in a single solution. This will result in true mobility, enabling wireless users to achieve anywhere, anytime connectivity to people, content and services.

Craig Barratt

There are nearly 300 million PC users out there now, and so that gives us a very, very broad market. So we can put far more, you know, ten times more into R&D of the operating system, yet make it available for one-tenth or less the price.

Jeff Raikes

As the Internet becomes more tightly woven into everyday life, an increasing number of consumers will desire the applications and services it can provide. Current online users want access to services in more locations and situations, while many other consumers desire Internet access without the inherent complexities of PCs.

Bryan Ma

I'm less devoted to PCs than into the disdain of Apple. Apple users are so arrogant and evangelical about their choice.

Janet Wright

With hundreds of breakthrough features, including Spotlight, a lightning fast way for users to find virtually anything stored on their Mac, Tiger will fundamentally change the way people use their computers. We're thrilled that Fujitsu has developed a solution that allows Tiger users to Spotlight search their collection of scanned documents, photographs, and other electronic files.

Ron Okamoto

This is a clear victory for our users.

Nicole Wong

Our plan is to reward experts in their fields along with regular users who've proven they can share useful and popular material. By elevating them to Featured Finder status and giving them the advertising revenue produced by their pages, it's a win-win for everyone.

Steve Mansfield

This is clearly an e-commerce strategy. What AltaVista and other portals want to do is attract users to their portal, and the purpose of that is to drive e-commerce.

Brownlee Thomas

We believe the Basic PC segment has the potential to expand our markets and bring us new users.

Sean Maloney

We have made an adjustment to the product to help protect users.

Sonya Boralv

Unix systems in the past have been managed on a one-off basis. Each system had an administrator and the administrator was responsible to manage the accounts, passwords and identities of the users on each system.

Phil Schacter

Cell phone and other battery-powered device manufacturers are always trying to give their customers as much flexibility as possible. Since the AAT3685 can be programmed for two separate constant current charge levels up to 1 amp, users can now charge their device from either an AC source or any USB port without compromising their fast charge rate.

Bill Weiss

Part of our mission is to make the site search experience better for web site visitors, and this tool gives site owners an easy way to improve their site search capability and measure customer satisfaction -- the result being happier users and more productive, profitable sites. Of course, we are happy to help them with our Learning Search service as well!

Dr. Shaun Ryan

We've been talking to some of Nordstrom's online users, who are very, very important customers, and they talk about how when they go online sometimes they shop and sometimes they look for fashion inspiration.

Rob White

Tobacco use is the single leading cause of preventable death. The vast majority of all adult tobacco users became addicted as teens. If we don?t work to prevent teens from using tobacco, we risk losing thousands of lives and spending more and more money treating tobacco-related illnesses.

Dr. Joann Schaefer

When you look at the numbers of labs that we take down, and the numbers of people that we bring in who have been regular users of ... pretty heavy drugs, they're going to have higher medical problems.

Greg White

There wasn't anybody on there, nobody, not one, representing residential energy users, not one representing small-business users, ... What our elected representatives are too inclined to do is to give the utilities what they want, completely failing to realize that they have the power and they really have the obligation to put the needs of Utah first.

Roger Ball

It is essential that computers are protected from unauthorized access by remote hackers. All computer users need to patch against these flaws in Microsoft's software as quickly as possible, before hackers and virus writers try and take advantage of them.

Ron O'brien

IM is inherently new to a lot of people, ... There is big gap between regular users and those who feel that it's disruptive and don't see how it will integrate.

Francis Costello

Smaller, targeted attacks are on the increase, with the emergence of a new breed of financially-motivated online criminal. The concern is that if users continue to combine unsafe computing practices with outdated threat protection, they'll be a soft target for this new form of attack.

Carole Theriault

We don't think it's logical [for] users to do nothing.

Craig Beilinson

Eastern Maine Electric was the first utility in the state to use widespread automated meter reading. The Turtle meter reading system was funded by research dollars from co-ops like EMEC. Now it's also used by investor-owned utilities like Maine Public Service as well. By improving a utility's efficiency, this technology saves energy users money.

Jim Dean

We count on a combination of user reviews and the author-provided summary and bio to give the browsing customer information to make a decision. But in the future, we want to provide a way for users to preview the books and implement a forum where consumers can query the authors and debate.

Judy Kirkpatrick

Research shows only 12% of home network users received home networking equipment from their broadband carrier.

Kurt Scherf

We hope that this will open up a whole new level of functionality for our users.

Mark Dahm

We have two national restaurant chains that are interested and one local. We can't really sign letters of intent yet because we really don't know how much rent we'll charge the end users.

Jerry Swanson

It was a very important goal to restore service to home library users. In addition to providing libraries, providing library access through the Internet is a key strategic goal.

Martina Kominiarek

Microsoft has been most aggressive with Xbox Live, connecting the Xbox 360 to the Internet for game play and allowing users to download content, either paid or free. This is really just another step in that process to make what was a video game console into more of a living room entertainment center.

Brian O'rourke

Internet and mobile phone users will grow, and Web 2.0 is still in the spotlight. VC investment volume this year will surely surpass 2004 and 2005.

John Chen

These vulnerabilities are increasingly being used to facilitate online fraud through the installation of malicious software on vulnerable computers. Symantec has already seen exploits for some of these vulnerabilities in the wild and recommends that users apply the updates as quickly as possible.

Oliver Friedrichs

Tape is by no means dead. In fact, it is here to stay. Over 80 percent of end users still offload data to tape.

Mark O'malley

This is clearly Oracle reacting to competitive moves from Quest and BMC, and I'd say it's probably a smart move on their part because there's escalating interest among end users in reducing the complexity of management.

Richard Ptak

Users have to kill out of the browser and start over again. This stalled browser creates a DOS (denial of service) condition.

Johannes Ullrich

Tougher sentences being dished out are clearly making spammers feel the heat. However, spam is clearly not a thing of the past. E-mail users worldwide are still being bombarded by unsolicited messages, and, two years on, Gates' famous prediction now looks extraordinarily optimistic.

Brett Myroff

Some folks wind up subsidizing other folks. Some people are very efficient users and wind up paying more than if they are individually charged. Those who are egregious users might end up paying less.

Mark Schroeder

It's a growing recommendation that we need to provide access for all park users, especially in parks that are less developed and rugged, like Glacier.

Amy Vanderbilt

In general, it's been found -- both in this study and other studies -- that it's really (women who are) current or recent users of hormones who have an increased risk of breast cancer.

Walter Willett

We thought this was a good time to reward Viagra users and provide some incentive for them to stay on.

Daniel Watts

Yahoo uses elaborate filtering techniques to identify who users are and those providing auction goods. All (Yahoo) auctions can be searched by keywords and you can get the site to alert you to specific keywords as buying opportunities emerge.

Jeff Brown

These viruses are using Bluetooth connections to promulgate and spread to other cell phone users.

Ron Texiera

Until now, searching the Web has lacked the power of intuition, ... We have built an industry-compatible platform that marries computing algorithms and human thought, allowing users to access Jetpaks created by a social network of individuals who have found and created new online information.

David Hayden

Obviously, there is risk [that users will flee] with any acquisition like this.

Marc Hebert

What sets us apart is our ability to understand mobile network and handset limitations and still deliver a sophisticated interactive user interface and we'll continue to partner with entertainment leaders to offer the widest range of premium entertainment programming for mobile phone users.

Daren Tsui

As networks become more open-ended, IT has to be even more concerned that proprietary information can now be accessed by unknown individuals. IT is taking more of a big brother attitude and this is frustrating users.

Supplies of imported coal into the United States are expected to increase substantially over the next several years as power generators and other industrial end users work to comply with stricter air emission standards, and as production from the Central Appalachian coal basin continues to decline.

Jeff Armstrong

We are expanding our investment in growing the community of developers and users of DB2. With DB2 Express-C, developers now have the industry's first no-cost, fully functional relational data server to use for developing and deploying applications.

Bob Picciano

The hope is that we'll be encouraging users to upgrade to broadband because a majority of them will be able to get high-speed connections.

Anne Bentley

MDOT wants to make our rights of way available for non-motorized uses, while we continue to work to improve the safety of both non-motorize and motorized users.

Andy Sikkema

Despite the struggles of its ISP arm, AOL.com is well positioned because of the number of users of AIM (AOL's Instant Messaging) and the strength of its new online mail offering.

Charlene Li

This maps onto Yankee Group research. We, too, have found that men are heavier users of these technologies than women, and better educated people tend to have more consumer-electronic devices than other segments.

There has also been an exploit for the Safari web browser, which makes it possible to launch a script and execute commands on the user's computer. It therefore seems clear that OS X may be fertile soil for security researchers.

Konstantin Sapronov

These are very latency-sensitive applications. It's very different than checking e-mail. Users are not going to play the game again if their experience is slow because of latency problems.

Chris Costello

Our social network is a win-win for our users and our commercial partners. The network's features attract users to our community and prolong the duration of their stay on-line. Our commercial partners gain increased access to our fast growing, highly targeted, loyal and increasingly affluent audience.

Robert Stearns

We've only just begun, and we're pleased to say that we're getting 90 percent reliability when scanning users.

Donald Sebastian

There are no good users and no bad users. Anybody who uses the park causes damage — we just need to find ways to minimize the damage.

Charlie Mccabe

Yahoo is not planning to require payments for businesses or organizations to send e-mail to Yahoo users. Companies can continue to send e-mail to Yahoo e-mail users at no cost in exactly the same way they always have.

Karen Mahon

We know local information is a big deal for our users.

Deep Nishar

Private sector users have the same security and critical operations issues as government workers. Shutting down the RIM network for anyone seems like an extreme measure.

John Halamka

At any given moment, we have 200 to 300 users running fax servers, lab reports, radiology, or medical record transcripts, so we are using slightly less than what a T1 line can handle -- so if 10 guys are streaming music, a couple are on game sites and a few are instant messaging -- this can shut the system down.

Jennifer Laster

We don't think if you're going to bring thousands of users up that you're not going to want support. If you're a small company with ten to twenty users, have fun with it. But when you look to scale, you need support.

Peter Winston

This could definitely have a chilling effect on Internet users who are going to be afraid to do searches knowing that this information is going to be left out there for somebody to look at down the road.

Rebecca Jeschke

In the distribution of the browser is where we can be profitable. We want our users to trust us to not be intrusive (when they browse the Web), so they can do what they want to do online.

Bart Decrem

Several hundred dial-up numbers have been reserved for our billable subscribers, making it easier for them to get on and stay on, ... We see the free service as an on-ramp to the Internet, for first-time users. They can experience the Internet before they have to pay for it.

Gary Baker

We will probably see card first approach. It will be promoted to business notebook users, and there will be data cards before there are phones.

Rachel Lashford

Users generally like having [audio] as a way of warming the experience up, making it more human. The main focus for us is to humanize the Web, to enhance the experience so it's not a secondary experience as opposed to going to a branch office.

Craig Martin

Once there is spectrum over the area, it can handle an unlimited number of users.

Jay Brown

Network neutrality is a nearly indefinable concept. For instance, does network neutrality mean that network operators can't block spam? Should network operators be allowed to stop viruses from spreading? Should large users of peer-to-peer software be allowed unlimited bandwidth so service for other users is slower?
