                     What's up Steve's Sleeve?

                     JACKSON, Wyoming -- He's awkward,
                     hesitant, and, for a presidential
                     candidate, unusually quiet. His jokes don't

                     in Forbespeak -- and now he's hoping to
                     apply the same ideas to the Net. 

                     In an interview Friday, Forbes said that if
                     elected president, he'd take a hands-off
                     approach to regulating and taxing the
                     tech industry.
