Bush: government research developed iPod

"
During a speech at Tuskegee University, President (and iPod user) George W. Bush told his audience, “the government funded research in microdrive storage, electrochemistry and signal compression. They did so for one reason: It turned out that those were the key ingredients for the development of the iPod.”

if the us govt contracted microsoft….
- there would be a new copy-cat version of a sony or apple mp3 player every year…
- with service packs every three month…
- a pseudo fire-wall…
- a beta-version of windows media player!
- copied and relabeled open standard media types which would run only on their mp3 player
- every time you add a song to it… it’ll run a virus scan…
