    In reply to Google CEO: Secrets Are for Filthy People
    He could've soften the blow by saying "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be posting it on the internet in the first place."

    Man, are we gonna laugh at this one years from now when google becomes the new evil overlord (or as some say, "microsoft")

    To be fair to Eric Schmidt, this was the first draft of the Fourth Amendment:

    "4. If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place, but if you really need that kind of privacy, the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..."

    @Whittaker: Also: "it's totally your fault if you google mapped your address a couple of times so that even if we *anonymize* your searches after 18 months people can still find your ass."

    Shit. Schmidt knows I just wrote that. I hope my appointments don't get erased off of my Google Calendar. Oh, wait- that already happened when I was using the Google Sync function with my blackberry. Never mind, then.

    Odd. This is the second Gawker post within a week that betrays a fundamental confusion about the meaning and presentation of gambling odds. Let's do a trade-off: I'll explain odds to you if you can explain baseball to me. #loudobbs

    In reply to What Will Lou Dobbs Do Next?
    If he's a racist, he masks it very well in reality. I met him during a round of golf in NJ (the second meeting) this past summer and he seemed to be very pleasant. He even came back to the clubhouse and had a drink/bite with us. Two things stood out...........I am half Brazilian, half British and my posse was made up entirely of brown people....... his playing partners were all Latino........and he introduced them as members of his family. I was a bit surprised since he often comes across as being very offensive when it comes to matters of immigration on air. Then again, he was drinking liquor mixed with tap water from the armpit of the United States... so that could account for his behavior. #loudobbs

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: true.....however, when he initially saw me, I was just walking along the bushes looking for my balls (golf) so he could have gone with the illegal Mexican course maintenance worker assumption. I forgot to mention.......he does indeed have a yellowish tint to his skin tone, even in the shadows of trees but I still think that is most likely from the NJ tap. #loudobbs

    He's going to put his money where he mouth is and go to work slaughtering beef in Nebraska, just to prove they're not taking jobs Americans don't want and won't do. It's a step down, but no hardship for this man of principles and integrity. #loudobbs

    NBC Late Night
    Pro: Cheaper than ordering several pilots for when Leno is replaced, his devout audience will probably follow him onto network television, will make about half of the affiliates happier.
    Con: Other half of affiliates will revolt, will open the news with "And that was the Lou Dobbs Comedy Hour. He's so funny when he pretends to be serious..." Arizona may get confused and build a wall around its entire border. (If you are outside of Arizona, you can move this item to Pros.)

    In reply to CNBC's Microsoft Fail
    The price corrected in under 4 minutes... and for every high-frequency-trading algorithm that got robbed of that 1%, there was another algorithm that struck it rich.

    If you're average holding period of a stock is 3 minutes, then this caused damage. Otherwise you wouldn't notice. #cnbc

    In reply to Charlie Gasparino's War on Andrew Ross Sorkin
    Call me when Blankfein writes his memoirs. If journalists had the sourcing to write about the important elements of this crisis there wouldn't have been one. Then again, the idea of pretending that losses don't exist is somewhat boring to explain - it's still completely underreported that L3 asset valuations are the primary driver of this crisis, the next crisis, the crisis after that, and the crisis that finally destroys banking. #cnbc

    {Yawn} We're in the land of time-delayed literary land mines. The Superfreak boys (Levitt & Dubner) are shocked, shocked, that people are shocked with their book. If we see Gasparino and Sorkin holding hands and giggling next week we'll know this was all about publicity. #cnbc

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Actually, Sorkin doesn't seem to want to fan the flames. Sucks for us. I guess he's doing well enough anyway. Sorkin's will be the definitive book. He's like a political candidate with a strong lead; he doesn't need a messy and risky debate. #cnbc
