Steve Jobs Quotes

'The cloud' is effectively an augmentation of our brains' memories.

As much as we can, we want to prevent people from having to think about how to keep and share their stuff.

Providing 'freemium' cloud storage to society is not a crime. What will Hollywood do when smartphones and tablets can wirelessly transfer a movie file within milliseconds?

Everything is going to be connected to cloud and data... All of this will be mediated by software.

Cloud computing offers individuals access to data and applications from nearly any point of access to the Internet, offers businesses a whole new way to cut costs for technical infrastructure, and offers big computer companies a potentially giant market for hardware and services.

Cloud computing is a great euphemism for centralization of computer services under one server.

The desktop metaphor was invented because one, you were a stand-alone device, and two, you had to manage your own storage. That's a very big thing in a desktop world. And that may go away. You may not have to manage your own storage. You may not store much before too long.

Dropbox looks really simple to the end user and is extremely magical and just works. But under the hood, the complexity of the technology is huge. The amount of work it requires to store, scale and move this data is pretty intense.

Technology is like water; it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers, it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.

You think about who needs Dropbox, and it's just about anybody with a pulse.

The cloud is still really just a bunch of servers, owned by someone or something, whose decisions and competence must be trusted. This applies to everything from Google Docs to Gmail: Putting our data out there really means putting it 'out there.'

I have to admit it: I'm not a huge fan of the cloud computing concept.

But what Web services suggest is that the connection is always there between an application that is resident somewhere in the cloud, and a user who is somewhere on the other end of a connection.

It seems everyone is converging on a simple set of facts: Our lives are digital, and we wish to share our lives. Pinterest came at it through images, artfully curated. Facebook came at it through friends, cunningly organized. Dropbox came to it via files, cleverly clouded.

Remember, the Cloud is just someone else's server.

I think everybody understands how important the cloud is.

We took the brains out of the set-top box and put it in the cloud. Having our software in the cloud gives consumers the ability to click their remote control and navigate through thousands of choices in a simple and elegant way. That's magic.

Digital India is about empowering the citizen - it's mobile, it's cloud, it's storage - we are in all those areas.

We run the programs, and we support them through all of our folks, but usually the hardware is somewhere else.

In the future, the Internet might become a 'brain net' where we send memories, feelings and sensations.

Thanks to the rise of cloud computing, collaboration tools are becoming increasingly affordable, allowing even the smallest firms to implement enterprise-grade solutions that can significantly improve communication lines between employees and customers.

The smartphone created a huge economy, the cloud created a huge economy.

The debate between the cloud and on-premise is largely dead. The cloud has become mainstream.

Cloud storage in data centers will utilize the latest developments in physical storage virtualization, deduplication and other methods to make the most effective use of physical storage assets. Software defined storage could allow a further level of abstraction and cost effectiveness. The vast bulk of content stored "in the cloud" will reside on large SATA interface HDDs with some on magnetic (mostly LTO) tape (particularly for "archives.")

Streaming is something that's going to require tons of billions of dollars of investment, building server farms close to users and 5G and everything else.
