The cool parts - the parts that have won Dubai its reputation as 'the Vegas of the Middle East' or 'the Venice of the Middle East' or 'the Disney World of the Middle East if Disney World were the size of San Francisco and out in a desert' - have been built in the last ten years.

Australia is so cool that it's hard to even know where to start describing it. The beaches are beautiful so is the weather. Not too crowded. Great food great music really nice people. It must be a lot like Los Angeles was many years ago.

For the last few years it's been so chic for everybody to be miserable. Like if you're in with the cool crowd you can't be happy.

In early high school years I was pretty chubby and I spent a lot of time on my computer before it was cool to have a computer - because there was a time that was true. So that's where I developed my personality.

I really specifically love acting and I think it's a really cool thing to be really indulgent and follow that. I have a lot of ambitions in life but for the next few years I just want to be an actor.

That is who Barack Obama is - a person of admirable character - and that is who he has remained for me over these last four years. I have not agreed with his every decision but never once have I seen him break his cool lose his composure or abandon his insightful perspective - even during the most serious and/or absurd national disasters.

I really specifically love acting and I think it's a really cool thing to be really indulgent and follow that. I have a lot of ambitions in life but for the next few years I just want to be an actor. That's a lucky opportunity and that drives me to want to be good at that.

Cricket makes no sense to me. I find it beautiful to watch and I like that they break for tea. That is very cool but I don't understand. My friends from The Clash tried to explain it years and years ago but I didn't understand what they were talking about.

All of my favorite people - people I really trust - none of them were cool in their younger years.

So the thing I realized rather gradually - I must say starting about 20 years ago now that we know about computers and things - there's a possibility of a more general basis for rules to describe nature.

That's the new way - with computers computers computers. That's the way we can have the cell survive and get some new information in high resolution. We started about five years ago and today I think we have reached the target.

When I was in Japan on tour in 2010 I felt like I was 30 years into the future. I love technology and they are so advanced with their phones computers everything. I think they had the iPhone way before we did in the U.S. I love gadgets games social media and I try to stay ahead on all that stuff but they get it all first.

Diaspora starts about a thousand years from now. Most of human civilisation has moved inside computers essentially a major branch of our descendants consists of conscious software.

We've been working now with computers and education for 30 years computers in developing countries for 20 years and trying to make low-cost machines for 10 years. This is not a sudden turn down the road.

Computers have become more friendly understandable and lots of years and thought have been put into developing software to convince people that they want and need a computer.

You have to wait for people to program you. The only difference is the amount of people that you're going to reach but that's going to even out in the next two or three years anyway. Computers are being bought faster than televisions right now.

I take computers practically apart and put them back together. I have a supercomputer I built over the years out of different computers.

In fact technology has been the story of human progress from as long back as we know. In 100 years people will look back on now and say 'That was the Internet Age.' And computers will be seen as a mere ingredient to the Internet Age.

I get hired to hack into computers now and sometimes it's actually easier than it was years ago.

The real story of Facebook is just that we've worked so hard for all this time. I mean the real story is actually probably pretty boring right? I mean we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

I just think people have a lot of fiction. But you know I mean the real story of Facebook is just that we've worked so hard for all this time. I mean the real story is actually probably pretty boring right? I mean we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

People break down after a couple of hours. All the defenses go down and there's a kind of communication that if I spent 20 years in a living room with one of these people I would never never know as much about them as I do in that one day.

You know Quincy Jones was a great mentor but he was a man in a man's world. Fortunately he's a very sensitive man and a beautiful human being and even though he was 14 or 15 years older than me he's a capable human being and has great communication skills.

The biggest lesson I've learned by living abroad for the last four years is the importance of communication.
