M: I'm not sure you want to eliminate scariness. I really wonder if the tight-rope-walkers can do their job because they are not afraid of heights or whether they can do their jobs because they are afraid of heights and they've just learned how to do their task that much better because they know what it's like, or they have a pretty good idea what it's like to fall. I think fear is your "ally in here, because it is fear that gets you out of comfortable equilibrium, gets you to do difficult tasks". You know, managing in general is not an easy job, so I don't think I wanna eliminate fear. I don't eliminate fear of change, I don't wanna eliminate fear of what's wanna happen if you don't move. It's healthy, it's kind of like, you know, pain is healthy, physical pain, it warns your body that something is wrong and just extinguishing pain doesn't make the problem going away. It just makes your sense that there is a problem going away. So it makes it worse.
F: One of the biggest contributions that you've made down to making the public aware of what's inside a computer is the Intel Inside campaign, which is a very big marketing campaign designed to make the consumer, the end user, allow them to make their choice based on Intel being inside the box. When did you first think that this was important? There are obviously risks to this strategy, there are obviously rewards. How did you analyse the risk-reward in this?
M: Well, you know, it was kind of obvious in a way, if you listened to the language people used to describe their computer at the time—you're talking late 80s. Most of the time, people would refer to their computer by the number, the number of the microprocessor that they had in it. I'm gonna take my trusty old 386 and look it up, or do something on it. They didn't use the name of the manufacturer. They used the model number of the microprocessor, which actually is kind of right, because the fundamental characteristic of that computer is the microprocessor. That defines what software it's gonna run, it's gonna define how fast it runs it, and if it defines how fast it runs it, it defines what you can do with it. So the user experience, what the user can do and how well he can do it, more than anything else depends on the microprocessor, the chip. So we kind of sensed that we really had that identity but we didn't know exactly how to go about it. We wanted to market the product name, but the problem with the product name was we couldn't copyright it, I mean, couldn't trademark the numbers. We had a legal battle on it and we lost. So how do you tell our story, given that the microprocessor gives the characteristic of their computer to, not completely, but more than anything else, to the user. And we started merchandising Intel, the Computer Inside. Not on the devices but in our own commercials. And that kind of worked, we had good results, good focus group results, people understood, yeah, the Intel stuff is the computer
F: So how much now do you think of your success is marketing, and how much of it is technology?
M: Andrew Grove: You know, for a long time I've thought about this and had to answer the questions internally a lot. And the best I can say is describing Intel as a three legged stool, and the three legs are design, technology and manufacturing, and marketi

M: Yes, well, I've been looking into the ability of certain animals to freeze themselves for a certain amount of time, and then to come back to life when the circumstances around them change. And, what I've been working on over the past two years is the particular process that enables them to do this.
W: What have you actually discovered?
M: I think it's a particular chemical in the animals' bodies which begins to work under certain circumstances. And I'm now experimenting with this chemical to see if I can get other animals that wouldn't normally be able to freeze themselves to be able to do this.
W: Have you had any success?
M: I have so far. It's been going very well. And I'm reasonably confident that perhaps within ten years from now I'll be able to freeze human beings for as long or as short a time as I would like to, and then bring them back to life again in exactly the same state that they were in before they were frozen ... just as you can do with animals.
W: And what's the main application of your research?
M: I think the main application of this for human beings would be for people with terminal illnesses, such as certain types of cancer, AIDS. we could freeze them, find a cure for the illness and then bring them back to life again and administer the cure.
W: I see. Well, this obviously is going to create great debate I would think as to the rights and wrongs of whether we should be actually doing this.

A.He is a film director of Science Fiction.
B.He is a writer of Science Fiction.
