"Tyrants" - Google gives me the following synonym (a cruel and oppressive dictator ) and thats something I am sure Obama wouldn't have mentioned or even thought of. An example of how media "blows" up things. Apple created iPod and it was freaking successful to the extent that my mom (50 years old) calls every damn mp3 player an iPod. I would not be surprised if in a year or so people start asking "Can I have your iPhone number please". And he picked up a very appropriate consumer product to inspire kids. Imagine he speaking on them creating the next "linux" kernel. Do you really think the majority of kids will get inspired and their creativity circuits in their brain triggered by that? Think! and calling individuals tyrants is uncalled for on a public mailing list :) Thanks for your understanding.
