Marc Andreessen
An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in.
Marc Andreessen
A lot of things you want to do as part of daily life can now be done over the Internet.
Marc Andreessen
At Microsoft, they all rock back and forth like Gates, they wear the same glasses, they have the same hair style. Maybe they grow them in tanks.
Marc Andreessen
If the Net becomes the center of the universe, which is what seems to be happening, then the dizzying array of machines that will be plugged into it will virtually guarantee that the specifics of which chip and which operating system you've got will be irrelevant.
Marc Andreessen
The difference between a vision and a hallucination is that other people can see the vision.
