At a fundraising event in Chicago, President Obama shattered the dreams of kids everywhere who one day hoped to have the nation's top job: "The Oval Office, I always thought I was going to have really cool phones and stuff...I'm like, c'mon guys, I'm the president of the United States. Where's the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up? It doesn't happen." There you go, folks: your taxpayer dollars not at work.

You might think Google and Apple were constantly at loggerheads, what with Android and the iPhone going head to head. But nothing could be further from the truth, insists Google Asia-Pacific president Daniel Alegre! In an interview, Alegre said, "Whenever iPhone succeeds, Google succeeds...I actually don't look at it as iPhone versus Android. iPhone is a very strong driver of query growth for Google. We also monetise apps through the iPhone...we actually benefit from iPhone's growth." Does anybody else get the feeling someone totally switched out this guy's cue cards?
