From ZPi:
According to a transcript of President Bush’s remarks on the American Competitiveness Initiative at Tuskegee University on April 19th:
“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. I tune into the Ipod occasionally, you know?”
Ask yourself: Why would the US government, acting through DARPA, fund all that research just to produce a simple consumer music player? And what does Bush mean by “tune into”? iPods are not tuners — or are they?

Um, to make a TON of money? Why else?
