P.S. I loled at the article about Eric Schmidt’s opinion on search privacy because it’s what I’ve been saying all along: why do I care who knows about what I search for? In fact, it can be downright convenient for some sites such as Amazon – I often get suggestions for things that I would actually want to buy.

OK – I have a slight bit of a problem with the observation that two out of four questions for that testimonial were about advertising. She was interviewing for a MARKETING job. Of course the questions were about advertising. Now if she would have been interviewing for a programming job or something, that would be different. Besides, they were just the basic “how-good-are-you-at-thinking-things-through” interview questions.
