We're really starting to see Microsoft gear up. Of course, the company was asleep at the wheel for a long time.

Microsoft doesn't seem to be that accomplished at spotting threats. The routine of the last few years has been, if a company spots a virus, they let Microsoft know and the company takes its 'own sweet time,' as it's been put to me, in dealing with that.

With revenue growth slowing, Ballmer has tried to squeeze more down to the bottom line to make the company more appealing to investors, ... Even the cuts that seem trivial have dampened morale. Just whisper the word 'towels' to any Microsoft employee, and eyes roll. Last year, Microsoft stopped providing a towel service for workers who used company locker rooms after bike rides or workouts. Employees who helped the company build its huge cash stockpile were furious. And don't even mention stock options. Employees long counted on them to bolster their salaries. Microsoft minted thousands of employee millionaires as the stock climbed 61,000% from its 1986 public offering to its peak in 2001. Now shares are trading exactly were they were seven years ago. Microsoft has doubled its payroll in that time, adding more than 30,000 new employees, not including attrition. That means more than half of Microsoft's employees have received virtually no benefit from their stock holdings.

Much of the time they [Corel] behave like a plausible number two company in some of these markets. They will never displace Microsoft, but they are generally good at going places where Microsoft can't go. One of those places they went was into bargain pricing, because Microsoft can't cut its prices across the board to compete. They continuously find points of vulnerability at Microsoft. Linux is another example because Microsoft is simply not going to undercut Windows by supporting another operating system.

We need to know why NHTSA, which has officials who are paid to do nothing else but monitor accidents, have been asleep at the wheel when it had information served up to it on a silver platter by State Farm Insurance Company which would suggest grave problems with Firestone tires,

It looks to me that Microsoft has added another layer of bureaucracy. At a time when startups are starting to show some real promise again, Microsoft now looks even bigger and potentially slower than it was before.

In that third quarter, we fell asleep at the wheel and they kept playing and they got easy baskets. When a team like Detroit gets easy baskets, you're in for a long night.

I'm really pleased to be out here. It's been a long time since I've been behind the wheel of a sports car, and I've never been behind the wheel of a Daytona Prototype. I'm really appreciative of Eddie's call. I'm excited to turn some laps and hopefully I'll be here at Daytona in January.

We fell asleep at the wheel.

Because of the late hour, we think he might have fallen asleep at the wheel.

Ray Benson, our good friend from Asleep at the Wheel, brought this together. A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness.

We haven't been sleeping on the rights, or asleep at the wheel, in this case.

It's not negligence. It's just kind of being asleep at the wheel when business is running smoothly, and then you get hit.

It's a very big concern because probably most of your accidents happen because of just being tired and falling asleep at the wheel.

Insomnia is really a symptom (not a disease). It's really something someone complains to a doctor about. And sometimes the person that complains about insomnia doesn't even have it. In other words they can fall (asleep) very, very quickly but their perception is that it took them a long time to fall asleep.
