More quotes by Bill Gates
Should surveillance be usable for petty crimes like jaywalking or minor drug possession? Or is there a higher threshold for certain information? Those aren't easy questions.
Bill Gates
I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn't cool.
Bill Gates
I don't have any TVs with their over-the-air receivers connected in my house. But when I'm in a hotel room or other places that have a TV, then I turn it on and flip the channels just like everybody else. I'm not immune to the lures of television. I just try to stay away from it because I like to read.
Bill Gates
More and more software would just increase the number of tasks that the computer would help solve.
Bill Gates
Effective philanthropy requires a lot of time and creativity - the same kind of focus and skills that building a business requires.
Bill Gates
We're all responsible for creating a polio-free world while we still can.
Bill Gates
[We in Microsoft] are not the only software company but we are a great software company doing some unique work.
Bill Gates
Computer science … jobs should be way more interesting than even going to Wall Street or being a lawyer--or, I can argue, than anything but perhaps biology, and there it's just a tie.
Bill Gates
The nuclear approach I'm involved in is called a traveling-wave reactor, which uses waste uranium for fuel. There's a lot of things that have to go right for that dream to come true - many decades of building demo plants, proving the economics are right. But if it does, you could have cheaper energy with no CO2 emissions.
Bill Gates
If you have 50 different plug types, appliances wouldn't be available and would be very expensive. But once an electric outlet becomes standardized, many companies can design appliances, and competition ensues, creating variety and better prices for consumers.
Bill Gates
Computers and games don't waste time - people do.
Bill Gates
People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.
Bill Gates
Training the workforce of tomorrow with today's high schools is like trying to teach kids about today's computers on a 50-year-old mainframe.
Bill Gates
Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.
Bill Gates
I'm invested in a lot of battery companies - and there's a lot that exists I'm not in.
Bill Gates
It is a high bar to say that it's more fun than working on software because the work at Microsoft that both Melinda [Gates] and I did was thrilling. We were making breakthroughs and empowering people.
Bill Gates
The difference between a stranger sending you a message that you might be interested in at a very low volume level, no repetition, just sending it to very few people, and that being done as spam - those things get close enough that you want to be careful never to filter out something that's legitimate.
Bill Gates
The market does not drive the scientists, the communicators, the thinkers, the government to do the right things.
Bill Gates
Any machine that can run a browser is not thin. The browser has to be the thickest application man has ever invented, and it's getting thicker faster than anything ever development by man.
Bill Gates
Energy is actually harder it takes more time to get a product, but if you do it's a very, very big market and the constraints of doing that in a clean way are more obvious all the time.
Bill Gates
