Bill William Gates has only made one presidential-candidate campaign donation this season, and it was to Barack Obama. Meanwhile, although Steve Jobs' wife Laurene has given nice sums to each of the three leading Democratic candidates, Barack appears to be the apple of her eye, if you calculate that in terms of dollars. Steve himself is not in the registry. What's more, neither billionaire tech household donated a (traceable) penny to any of the Republicans currently running for office. Update: We have been informed that the William Gates referred to in the database is actually Bill's father. No other William Gates has donated any money to any candidate, and Melinda Gates is listed only as donating to the Microsoft PAC. As such, I have also changed the image from Bill 'n' Barack 'n' Steve to what looks like Barack Obama's Welcome Back Kotter audition photo, from his campaign site.

As if his deep, smokey voice wasn't enough of a reason to swoon, on Letterman last night Barack Obama made one campaign promise that all Apple fanboys and iPod owners can get behind: "I won't let Apple release the new and improved iPod the day after you bought the previous model." He may have just gotten one step closer to Giz's official endorsement for prez. [via Threat Level]

Not only does he say he supports net neutrality, Obama actually seems to have something of a grasp on what it means and why it's important (politically tinged examples aside), which is kind of impressive, given how technologically ignorant politicians can oh-so-famously be. And look at all those Web 2.0 companies he namedrops: Facebook! MySpace! So hip, so savvy. If only I was registered to vote! [via Webware via BB]
