    I think Google's just found its next director of recruiting, if Ryan wants the job.

    Whereas, when I interviewed for Cthuugle they only wanted to know if I preferred to be transferred to the Frozen Plateau of Leng or R'lyeh.

    Dear assholes making comments about Marisa Mayer’s looks:

    This is not good. Clothes, maybe. But comments about her face and body?

    Also, it seems you do this only or mainly when it’s about a woman. So stop being sexist.

    Cheers,

    @iplaudius: She's actually pretty cute in most pictures. This one is just a bad pic.

    Regardless it IS true that this really only happens with posts about women.

    You know that this is only because everyone making these comments is God's gift to beauty, right?

    @iplaudius: Well, I'll make no judgments about Marisa's face or body. But when men are short, or bald, or have small penises, women are all too happy to joke about these facts as though men choose to be hairless, short and poorly endowed. More importantly, the attitude is one of laughable fault, as though, had they studied more in high school, they too would have fit the standards of the women discussing them. I'm not suggesting that patriarchy doesn't exist and that we should try not to be douchebags when discussing women. All I'm saying is that, women do it all the time.

    @Hey_mikey: Sure there are women who do this. It is no where near as prevalent as the boy's sneers toward pretty much any woman who isn't a supermodel ..and even some of those.

    I may have misspoken when saying it ONLY happens when it is about women.

    Everyone has opinions but I really believe most women handle the dissemination of those opinions much better than most men.

    Either way it is annoying. I hate people who "people watch" in real life just as much as I dislike the people who do so through the Internet.

    @iplaudius: I swear valleywag used to go out of their way to post derogatory stories of female silicon valley execs, who always happened to be blond.

    The posts were like crack for sad cubicle farm tech worker-bee guys with chips on their shoulders and nothing cleverer to say than "show us yer tits"

    @Hey_mikey: The point is, on this site, these types of insults are far more frequently hurled at women.

    Perhaps it is to be expected when the subject is a woman such as Julia Allison, whose interest and social identity are in large part defined by her appearance and sexuality. Mayer, by contrast, is interesting because of what she is doing with Google.

    People rarely go after men of Mayer’s professional stature—or, if not stature, notoriety. I can’t recall a pattern of looks-based insults in, say, the comments on articles on Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Rupert Murdoch, or, for that matter, Luke Russert or George Stephanopoulos. That is the sexist bias: people tend not to make such comments about men, but they frequently make such comments about women like Marisa Mayer.

    There is an exception: male subjects typically get criticized for their looks only when they draw attention to their looks or sexuality: e.g., Scott Brown, John Fitzgerald Page, and Paul Janka.

    I'm off to conduct an experiment. Having loaded Google Goggle onto my Droid, I'm going to photograph an IPhone and see if's recognized. Don't blame me should flames start shooting out of the circuitry at Cern.

    One big powerful oil company, or lots of little ones, seemingly competing with one another...

    One big telephone company, or lots of little ones, actually(?) competing with one another...

    One big media empire, or lots of little ones, seemingly giving us lots of perspectives...

    One big health-care provider?

    Big versus small is so confusing.
