My position hasn't changed over the years. Which is that online voting is a very unsafe idea and a very bad idea and something I think no technological breakthrough I can foresee can ever change.

People's computers are not getting more secure. They're getting more infected with viruses. They're getting more under the control of malware.

What we did is important because we proved that virtually all of the wireless networks used by companies and hospitals are completely open and offer no protection for the data on them.

It's the concept of having a computer voting machine that bothers me, more so than the specific poor implementation that we have from Diebold.

I don't think with today's technology we can have a voting system that is fully electronic that can be trusted.

Stop listening to people telling us we need to hate each other

They tell us we are all citizens, that we were born in this country. Well, a cat can have kittens in the oven, but that doesn't make them biscuits!

They're not role models. So for me it was a bad decision, because of my fans and because of what I stand for.

Teams like Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes are going to be very, very motivated to go for the titles.
