John...say it ain't so

“We got a couple of air pockets here that surprised us, and I wish we were smarter on that."

"Our service provider business in the U.S. had grown three quarters in a row in excess of 20 percent, so we obviously did not anticipate because of the segment of the cable business being down at flat in terms of this quarter,” Chambers said.

Marc Andreessen on Investment, Innovation...

(Fortune)...he is, above all, bullish on Silicon Valley, where he sees the recessionary fog lifting. His new fund still has a chance to invest while valuations are low. Even better, a generation of entrepreneurs burned by the dotcom crash is being replaced by a generation that doesn't remember the dotcom crash. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently asked Andreessen what exactly Netscape did, then had to remind the mock-outraged Andreessen that at the time, Zuckerberg was still in junior high. The Valley's fearlessness is coming back, Andreessen tells me.

just because...Android

"This isn't a fad. Everybody's building tablets because it's just so important. Car companies are working on tablets, consumer electronics companies are working on tablets, computer companies are working on tablets, and communications companies are working on tablets. The medical industry is working on tablets," he said during the earnings conference call. "I don't remember in the history of computing [when] a singular device is being worked on by all of the industry."

According to CNET: Nvidia CEOs Jen-Hsun Huang said a flood of Android tablets are on the way and repeated that they have to be "truly remarkable" in order to compete with the iPad. And traditional notebooks may imperiled by the deluge, according to Huang.

"There's going to be all kinds of interesting industrial designs," he said. "And I think the high-level concept is that when you have such an incredibly low-power SOC [system-on-a-chip] then industrial design freedom really grows." He made clear during the earnings conference call that his company is working with Google on Android tablets.
