Leo Gordon Laporte (/ləˈpɔːrt/; born November 29, 1956) is an American technology broadcaster, author, and entrepreneur.
Laporte, the son of a geologist, studied Chinese history at Yale University before dropping out in his junior year to pursue his career in radio broadcasting, where his early radio names were Dave Allen and Dan Hayes. He began his association with computers with his first home PC, an Atari 400.
Laporte has worked on technology-related broadcasting projects, including Dvorak on Computers in January 1991 (co-hosted with technology writer John C. Dvorak), and Laporte on Computers on KGO Radio and KSFO in San Francisco.
In 1998, Laporte created and co-hosted The Screen Savers, and the original version of Call for Help on the cable and satellite network ZDTV (later TechTV).
Laporte was the host of the daily television show The Lab with Leo Laporte, recorded in Vancouver, Canada. The program had formerly been known as Call for Help when it was recorded in the U.S. and Toronto. The series aired on G4 Canada, on the HOW TO Channel in Australia, on several of Canada's Citytv affiliates, and on Google Video. On March 5, 2008, Laporte confirmed on net@nite that The Lab with Leo Laporte had been canceled by Rogers Communications. The HOW TO Channel refused to air the remaining episodes after it was announced the show had been canceled.

Lavoine/Aboulker
Sur une guitare, sur un violon
Qu'il soit trop tard, qu'il soit trop long
Sur un boulevard ou sous un pont
Le sans-logis fait sa chanson
Sur une guitare sur un violon
Sur un tam-tam du Gabon
Sur une batterie à l'occasion
Le sans-patrie fait sa chanson
Si la vérité sort de la bouche du métro
Si le monde entier dit qu'on a tort d'aimer trop
Quand l'hiver est rude et qu'on cri "chaud les marrons"
Le sans-abri fait sa chanson
La liberté
C'est pas la porte à côté
La liberté
C'est le bout du monde
Sur une guitare, sur un violon
Sur des gamelles et des bidons
À tout hasard sous les balcons
Le sans-papiers fait sa chanson
Sur une guitare, sur un violon
Sur un air de Duke Ellington
À bout de souffle, à bout de son
Le sans-le-sou fait sa chanson
Si la vérité sort de la bouche du métro
Si le monde entier dit qu'on a tort d'aimer trop
Quand l'hiver est rude et qu'on crie "chaud les marrons"
