Pointing is a metaphor we all know. We've done a lot of studies and tests on that, and it's much faster to do all kinds of functions, such as cutting and pasting, with a mouse, so it's not only easier to use but more efficient.

More quotes by Steve Jobs
The hardest thing when you think about focusing. You think focusing is about saying Yes. No. Focusing is about saying No. And when you say No, you piss off people.
Steve Jobs
It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.
Steve Jobs
If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.

It's rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing. Of course, there are some people who are innately curious, forever little kids in their awe of life, but they're rare.
Steve Jobs
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
Steve Jobs
People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on marketing research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.

Steve Jobs
Each dream you leave behind is a part of your future that will no longer exist.
Steve Jobs
The Japanese have hit the shores like dead fish. They're just like dead fish washing up on the shores.
Steve Jobs
Apple's market share is bigger than BMW's or Mercedes's or Porsche's in the automotive market. What's wrong with being BMW or Mercedes?
Steve Jobs
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Steve Jobs
So [Polaroid's Dr. Edwin] Land, at 75, went off to spend the remainder of his life doing pure science, trying to crack the code of color vision. The man is a national treasure. I don't understand why people like that can't be held up as models: This is the most incredible thing to be - not an astronaut, not a football player - but this.
Steve Jobs
To go forward you have to leave something behind
Steve Jobs
We think Android is very, very fragmented, and becoming more fragmented by the day. And as you know, Apple strives for the integrated model so that the user isn't forced to be the systems integrator.

Focusing is about saying No.

The Macintosh was supposed to be the computer for people that just wanted to use a computer without having to learn how to use one.
