Hey, it may not be the most important piece of info within the administration right now. But after the over Obama's MP3 player allegiance (contrary to , it turned out our commander in chief ), then the brouhaha about his (believed by many to be a military-grade machine called the ), there's no denying interest is high in President Obama's preferences for technology. The guy may hope to unite political parties, but when it comes to the world of tech, Obama's quickly learning the sides are as divided as ever.

Intelligence From Intel

have suggested Obama was a Mac fan (or, at the very least, his ). It now appears, though, the president has taken the PC pledge. The -friendly factoid slipped out in a simple utterance by Intel CEO Paul Otellini, buried within . The statement discusses Obama's support for Intel's decision to invest billions in upgrading its factories:

"Otellini said Obama called him last night to congratulate him on company's decision. The president 'reminded me that he sees the Intel logo every morning when he opens up his laptop; I was pleased to hear that,' he noted."

Exhibit A: "He sees the Intel logo every morning." (Okay, it's the only exhibit. But I've always wanted to say "Exhibit A," and this seemed like a good opportunity.) Now, many Apple products do use Intel chips, right? Mac systems, though -- as the sharp folks over at , who first noticed the sure-to-be-contentious quote, point out -- don't flash the logo around in the way that PCs do. So, even if it's just a result of the , it looks like the leader of the free world is likely a man of Microsoft.
