    "Nominally married?"

    Is that like a barely civil union?

    Remember this is the same Eric Schmidt who was so angry that CNET Googled *his* details back in 2005, that Google refused to talk to CNET reporters for a year. [bit.ly]

    I guess I'm AOL-esque. Someone explain to me why eschmidt0 is outdated. Is using numbers outdated?

    From what has otherwise been a brilliantly run organization, this was an unfortunate comment that I am sure he would like to retract.
    Nothing will freak out the fringe or mainstream more than a comment like this.

    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")

    In reply to Google CEO: Secrets Are for Filthy People
    I was a little startled by his answer. I'm accustomed to big brother at least paying lip-service to people's concern for privacy.

    Maybe he was unprepared for the question, but his answer was essentially, " only freaks and perverts need privacy". Hasn't EVERYONE googled something they would not want revealed to the world?

    ...I'm starting to regret googling "bi-racial midgets on crank" 1000 times. I mean, what if I wanna run for office someday?

    @samsquanch: Then, I'd guess you'd have a lock on the bi-racial midget tweaker vote. One must always look at the upside of these things.

    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.
