He just stepped down. Someone with the skills to edit Wikipedia properly want to update the article? Haplo 02:18, 30 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.10.117.226 (talk)

weird rant in beginning of article
the following weird rant was at the beginning of the article, I'm not sure whether it was meant to be a block quote, but if so it seems a bit long to be in the wikipedia article:

********************************************************************************************************************************

In my opinion, Any US industry that contributed strongly to US exports and relies on Advanced knowledge in Science. Engineering, or other technical knowledge that is not easily acquired should be protected by an "ITAR" like regulation that restricts people born in foreign countries to participate in those industries.

Obviously, the Aerospace, Nuclear, space, and defense industries are already protected like that....  but all the other cash cows are not....example, semiconductors, or engineering and software services, and we see the result....  it makes companies turn into traitors against the American economy by refusing to hire Americans even if they are qualified and offshoring the R&D teams and selling out the knowledge to the lowest common denominator on the world-wide payscale...

I don't understand why the US government can't just set something up to deny visas to foreigners based on protecting sensitive US industries to trade secret thief... Example, CISCO... sorrry CISCO of INTEL, all future visas are banned due to "protection of sensitive" industries from trade secrete thief....

I know...its too late to think that way in those industries... but certainly there are new industries forming all the time that maybe should get that type of protection so thast they develop into US trade secrets and turn into cash cows because nobody else in the world has figured it out for many years...

and certainly there's no reason, that intel and CISCO can't be persuaded to setup departments for new and advanced products that are to remain as US trade secrets and restricted from foreign born participating because they are becoming the new cash cows of the company.... why couldn't Intel for instance start a new secret x86 processor or secrete semiconductor manufacturing tech. and make sure that everybody they hire is from the United states and the project is setup as a US trade secret that restricts knowledge from leaving the US?? I think trump should go to all the US companies and convince them to setup trade secret tanks like that to incubate new US tradde secretes and mandate that they must be protected from foreign-born on the job training...designed to put US citizens in the lead and holding the trade secrets that the rest of the company and foreign born population are not alllow to have knowledge of....that's how you build value for the United States.... they need the next genration technologies to be owned whole by US pop. and not exportable.. ********************************************************************************************************************************

Is there still a US CTO?
I can not seem to figure out if the position still exists, and is just unfilled, or if there is someone who has gotten no fanfare. The article should clarify this.
