CORRECTION: “We will wait and see who the Democratic Party endorses specifically as President and Vice President for the party. Thus far, it is clear that Obama and Clinton will be the most popular choices, however, who will the party decide as President? Go Obama! — Pall Stanley

I’m impressed with the Senator’s technology awareness, and these subjects should be top priorities in the minds of most Americans especially when considering each presidential candidate.

Anyone considering a Presidential Candidate should compare the Senator’s thoughts on these matters with other Presidential Candidates, and in the end, Obama will remain strong in this area of debate.

We will see how to democratic party endorses a the Vice President and Presidential Candidate seats. It is clear thus far it will be Obama and Clinton, however, who will the party endorse as President? — Pall Stanley

I wrote two things about this issue that may be appropriate to point out here.
One is about Capitalism and the “Killer Instinct,” and how if we dont actively protect freedoms of the smaller levels of development, monopolies will ruin everything like a bully wrecks a school. See it at

The other is about the true power of the Internet. It taps in to my CS degree, and knowledge of world history and technology. See it at

Any time someone has to stoop to stupidity like ‘Hellary’ they deserve to have their opinion discounted.

If you can’t have the maturity or dignity to refer to someone by their proper name …

By: Steve Ballmer

Steve Ballmer — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 03:11:24 +0000

Let me make one thing perfectly clear:

My disdain for Hellary has nothing to do with her supposedly being a woman! I love women and would vote for one for president readily. But, let’s not vote for Klinton just because of gender: think back to that administration, all of the spies, lies, corruption, deaths, smears, immorality, backstabbing, laws broken, drugs, bribes, Chinese spies, payoffs, character assinations, assasinations, investigations, using dead people, theft, obfescations, stealing china, destruction of public property, threats to bimbos, assaults, rape accusations, sex not sex, asprin factory murders, tyrant coddling, Whtewatering, Rose law firming, missing files, DNA disapearance, Foster bodies, Lies in diaries, lawyers commiting suicide, hidden agendas, payoffs, Luewinskiing, coverups, mismanagements, bodies in the parks, bodies in the cell, bodies in the water, nuclear secrets being sold, FBI files stolen, blackmailings, ….. all with Hellary right smack dab in the middle either orchestrating or covering up!
Use your memories people!

Other than that I have nothing against her.

I agree wholeheartedly with everyone else who wants audio.

It’s not that I don’t trust these responses–but I’ll have more faith in him if he can pull all of this out of his ass.

Do I agree with all of it? Hell no. Did I expect to? Nope.

What kind of idiot expects the President to want everything he wants? That’s just retarded, and never going to happen.

Perhaps I missed it, but does Michael state at any point whether or not Barack Obama actually wrote these responses? Everyone assumes this was an e-mail exchange (that’s my assumption, too) but is that explicitly stated anywhere? Anytime a journalist gets info from a source via e-mail, he or she is supposed to mention that the quote came from an e-mail, as it could be anyone on the other end sending the message. That’s AP style and is expected at any newspaper in the U.S. I realize this is a blog and all, but that’s how anyone hoping to be taken seriously as a journalist would refer to these comments.

I enjoy reading TechCrunch and think it’s great that the candidates are making time for interviews on topics near and dear to this community, but (serious) lapses like these complicate the whole “blogger vs. journalist” argument by giving ammo to the old guard. If we don’t know who wrote the responses, how can we call it a Q&A with Barack Obama? Wouldn’t an accurate headline for this piece be “Q&A with someone claiming to be Barack Obama on Key Technology Issues”?

27: As a middle school student, I disagree. You can’t become a techie by learning how to pick Internet Explorer and Word (or, if you’re feeling rebellious, PowerPoint) from your Novell Delivered Applications menu.

These padded cells work for what they intend to do, but don’t foster technological growth.

It’s not just drive, it’s freedom. I have learned and done so much more on my Mac and $75 Dell OptiPlex GX110 than at a $1000 school terminal. Yes, it takes drive, put it also takes opportunity - notices how the OLPC XO laptops provide complete freedom to *edit the source* of your operating system- though don’t take a techie to use. That’s how you foster technological growth.

You’ll only get drive if you have a chance.

Anyway… I agree with Obama on immigration reform - it needs to happen, because people *will* come to the U.S., even if they have to do it illegally. So much better to provide a legal avenue from which they will also pay taxes, and rather than detracting from the system, make it grow.

Somebody should ask him why he intends to pay for part of his education plan by delaying the construction of the manned replacement for the space shuttle. Historically NASA and education have never been part of the same spending bills. It’s a pretty poor way to advance science by killing a major science program and making the US depend on the Russians for a decade if it needs manned spaceflight capabilities.

IPTV died and P2P live TV is grown up in China — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 01:38:49 +0000

P2P live streaming has been officially enhanced by Chinese government since the begginning of 2007. As you see http://nba.sports.cctv.com/01/index.shtml, people could enjoy NBA matchs online with p2p enpowered system from Koos ltd., a small company in west China.

It was predicted, In 2008, hundreds of Olympic matchs will be shown in CCTV.com by P2P streaming system with millions of users online simultaneously. Maybe that is the time for people to see the legal P2P application in media industry.

–CCTV.com, as the name China Central TV station, is the majoy TV network in China with 75% the civil market.

Obama understands technology better than any candidate I have listen to or read.
More importantly, he is able to align the issues with his own principles and values and creates an exciting hope for the future of America.

He’s black, no matter what he says he won’t win!

But I did like his responses. So far he’s got my vote.

ps. The pledge of allegiance and ‘radical ideological Muslim’ rumors are not true.
