Magazyn Fortune zebrał 10 według nich najlepszych cytatów dotyczących technologii, internetu i wszystkiego co z tym się wiąże. Cytaty pochodzą z różnych źródeł od Twittera do blogów włącznie. Cytuję część (te które mi się najbardziej spodobały) w oryginale ponieważ tłumaczenie ich zepsuło by nie tylko przekaz ale również ich formę – jedyne czego mi brakuje to paru tekstów od Carol Bartz szefowej Yahoo:
