Quotes

"You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it."

"There's a pendulum thing where stuff is on the client side and then goes back into the network where it belongs. The answering machine put voice-mail by the desk, and then it went back into the network. Your iPod is like your home answering machine. I guarantee you it will be hard to sell an iPod five or seven years from now when every cell phone can access your entire music library wherever you are."
