nate.oo writes "If you think Apple Computer's Steve Jobs invented the technology behind the Apple iPod, don't bet your 60GB, 15,000-song model on it. According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, patent applications that cover much of the technology associated with the iPod were submitted by Microsoft."

I think that's pretty clear. Obviously, he was a greasy politician trying to take credit for the work of others. Maybe from where he was at, it made sense, but that just shows you how out-of-touch people in politics are.

Finally! Someone important in the tech industry with an ordinary name.

I assume by that you mean "finally, someone with an American name"...

Yea, it has been a long time since Americans took education seriously enough to invent stuff. Bush says teaching intelligent design will fix that problem ;)
