Not that I am a fan of GWB, but not likely at all. 9/11 would have still happened, we would have still gone to war, still would have gone bust economically. What would have been different? The type of Southern Drawl?
The reason you think it is mixed is because you fail to recognize the severe right wing slant the news has on here.

1. Gore is a member of the Apple board. So yeah, he probably has a good idea what he's talking about in this case.
2. It's too bad that HardOCP continues to inject politics into tech news. The site is worse for it.
Yup. But the real question is, why is there a political slant at all?
Don't wanna derail the subject too much, but whatever.
When GWB got into office, it was through deviate means. Technically Al Gore won the popular vote, which means he technically won. For whatever reason they went with the electoral votes. BTW, the electoral votes aren't actually votes, but the popular vote is.
So yea, 9/11 would have happened but would we have gone after Iraq? We know Iraq wasn't involved with 9/11 and they didn't have weapons of mass destruction. George Bush came in with a surplus of money, and left with the biggest deficit America has ever seen.
If we had Al Gore we would have jobs and I would be driving an electric car, with solar panels on my houses roof.
Ash, not to come across like an asshole, but you need to learn how the constitutional republic of the United States of America works. Al Gore didn't "technically" win in any shape, way, or form. I couldn't stand either of the morons that the American people picked to run for POTUS, and GWB was one of the worst things to happen to us, imo, but PLEASE do a google/bing search on what form of government we run in this country. Now, you could have gotten away with a comment about "stealing" the election, or something along those lines, but popular vote doesn't mean diddly squat in our election process for POTUS.When GWB got into office, it was through deviate means. Technically Al Gore won the popular vote, which means he technically won. For whatever reason they went with the electoral votes. BTW, the electoral votes aren't actually votes, but the popular vote is.
Careful, you just got political...
I do not think anything would have been much different if Gore had won, except that his term would have been likely 4 years.
Promoting "alternative" techs for energy has been front and center since the Clinton era. Bush did plenty of that, but the sheep media was too busy calling for investigations and war crimes trials so you never heard any of it. The problem is, promoting techs and actually producing tech that not only works but is at least cost neutral are two very different things.
The best engineers all over the world are working on this problem, what some elected official says means little to nothing in regards to actual breakthroughs. Even shoveling money at the issue has proven to be a fools quest.
With Gore as pres, we would have environmental regulation mousetraps all over the place. It would be dangerous for businesses to buy land and make jobs.
Right, which would have been MUCH worse than the brainiac we got, who managed to get us into two wars, one on false pretense, and greatest jump in our deficit ever...Hmmm, what's behind door number three?
I think a humorous one. Not like Dubya didn't come up with his own dousy comments. Through everything that AG has done, the Internet remark is still the one I remember him best by.
He was closely allied with war profiteers, Enron, oil companies, and the Saudi royalty. How did it go poorly?
If only we had put Social Security into the stock market.
Except that he never actually said that, so you can't be remembering him best for saying that.

A) The Clean Water State Revolving Fund is exactly what it says. A state program all the states. Guess what their budget is now? Over 50 billion. And you're bitching about 134 million? B) I agree with it. C) Again I agree with it. Their budget is currently 5 million. D) You are aware that Energy Star is a bullshit program that has done very little? The GAO found out that it was a program that accomplished very little a while back including other agencies doing their research into Energy Star. A private company like UL would have done a much better job than what Energy Star did. D) Oh you mean the program where our stimulus dollars went into high-priced solar panels and etc at prices that we would never break even on even for more than 5 decades? Again a waste of a program.No like his Clean Water State Revolving Fund which was cut by $134 million
"The proposed funding level for wastewater would not even meet the investment levels that a recent EPA study finds would be needed to control wastewater pollution more than $10 billion each year for over 20 years."
or
His elimination of the Greenhouse gas registry.
or
Elimination of the Rural energy (Section 9006 grants)
or
His cutting of the Energy Star program.
or
His ending of the weatherization assistance program.
... I could go on.
There are also threads of CEOs being crucified for making too much money. It goes both ways.And here is another recent one about the new Patent Law attacking Obama - http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1636827
No he actually never did claim that, but the media said he did. That's the real joke.
Al Gore, the inventor of the internet, actually told the attendees of a conference today that the new "iPhones" will ship next month. I think it goes without saying that fellow board members at Apple aren't thrilled with Gore's little gaffe.
Not that I am a fan of GWB, but not likely at all. 9/11 would have still happened, we would have still gone to war, still would have gone bust economically. What would have been different?
And yet this country would probably be much better off had he been in charge of it the last 12 years.
Funny that is.
He would have closed down major industries with many more millions out
of work then now. Not a reccession but a depression of untold
magnitude.
This guy would have brought us to the brink of disaster.
Hate to break it to you, but we've been on the brink of disaster since 2007.

The title itself is a right-wing dig at Al Gore. *snip*drivel*snip* Then, lots of them spin out of control into political vitriol and personal attacks.

We go so far out of our way to remain neutral it isn't even funny.
I personally have rules in place for all our news guys (literaly rules) on politics. These are my rules and I make sure they are followed.
We rarely post ANYTHING political unless it is directly tech related. When it has to be posted, We use:
The White House
The President
The current/former adminstration
NOT "Obama" (notice the headline when you actually click it? It says Obama...not The president)
When it says Democrat / Republican we use the term politicians (or scumbags, depending on the situation )
So on and so forth.
BACK ON TOPIC PLEASE!
Those of you that keep posting off topic / political BS / rants / etc. will be removed from this thread / forums / country / planet.
Shyte...what was the OT again?
Does anybody take him seriously for ANYTHING anymore?
The guy is a walking dumpster brain.
So what is the iPhone 5 supposed to do, anyway? I think if Apple made a big push to enterprise support, it would put the nail in the coffin for RIM and open up huge new markets for them, although it's already got a foothold there.
