Maybe he will finally understand why he has to give up all his electronic devices.

Well, I don't use it either, but a lot of organizations (like for example the Heritage Foundation) use it to keep supporters informed as to what they're doing.
Frankly, I hope the next Republican presidential candidate uses it. The Democrats beat our butts on technology and community.

US President-elect Barack Obama was among a number of high-profile people whose Twitter accounts were hacked overnight. I'm torn - I don't really approve of hacking, but at the same time, it's Obama.

The more sophisticated our technology becomes the more “holes” become available to hackers. Back in the day, simple kept folks out. (former AND reformed hacker). The more complex the technology the more complex the technology becomes to keep folks out and the easer it is to hack. JMHO
