The Best Speech I’ve Ever Heard Steve Jobs Give

With the annual Macworld Conference & Expo set to kickoff this week, you’re probably going to see Steve Jobs and Apple all over the news media. Apple will probably announce the launch of a cool new product and the gadget blogs will be all a buzz to weigh in on the latest news.

While thousands swarm the crowded Moscone Center in San Francisco like they do every year to hear Jobs’ keynote address, I invite you to take a look at one of his other speeches. It is his commencement address given to Stanford University in 2005. I love it because it is very inspirational and he is not trying to sell you on anything except hope. It is quite possibly the best speech I’ve ever heard Steve Jobs give.

Clinton v Obama: What's really at stake?

...only our civil liberties.

"Mrs. Clinton’s approach to the subject is that of a top-down progressive. Her speeches about privacy suggest that she has boundless faith in the power of experts, judges and ultimately herself to strike the correct balance between privacy and security.

In the Senate, Mr. Obama distinguished himself by making civil liberties one of his legislative priorities. He co-sponsored a bipartisan reform bill that would have cured the worst excesses of the Patriot Act by meaningfully tightening the standards for warrantless surveillance.

Once again, he helped encourage a coalition of civil-libertarian liberals and libertarian conservatives. The effort failed when Hillary Clinton joined 13 other Democrats in supporting a Republican motion to cut off debate on amendments to the Patriot Act."
