The Mobile Web Initiative is important - information must be made seamlessly available on any device.

The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

The Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it's managed responsibly.

The goal of the Web is to serve humanity. We build it now so that those who come to it later will be able to create things that we cannot ourselves imagine.

Innovation is serendipity, so you don't know what people will make.

After all, how many of us had tried to forget something traumatic...only to find it printed on the back of our eyelids, tattooed on our tongues?

As you walk, you cut open and create that river bed into which the stream of your descendants shall enter and flow.

Smart people are a dime a dozen. What matters is the ability to think different... to think out of the box.

Cooperation is just like two pagodas - one hardware and one software. Combined, we can take the leadership position in the world.
