Yesterday , Obama ’s Chief Technology Officer went to Vegas to flow out with Blam , Chen , Frooch , et al . And what did he get from Consumer Electronics Association head honcho ? Not a postulation for POTUS ’s cell act , but a bollocking .
A light bollocking , admittedly , but Gary Shapiro called him out on what he sees as the Government ’s inability to further tech entrepreneurship . “ When it fare to innovation , there ’s a lot the governance can do , and there ’s a mess they should not do , ” read the drumhead of the CEA , the mooks behind the cerium beanfest . “ The government does n’t spur innovation or entrepreneurship . The government often gets in the way . ”
The CEA wants the US to facilitate the movement of skilled workers between country such as India and China , plus a change in trade policy to allow American exportation to contend with cheaper trade good from elsewhere . Other footling slapdowns let in the $ 787 billion stimulus act ( “ terror spending ” ) which must have had Chopra reeling .
Well , no it did n’t really . “ We have to eat our own dogfood , ” he reply . ( Really , Mr Chopra , I ca n’t advocate it lowly enough ) “ Gary is veracious about the Union shortfall . We are in an economic crisis but we are going to tackle it . We have to get it right . ” Right . [ BBC News ]
