Ex-Googler Obama Appointee Gets Buzz'ed
theodp writes "Hillicon Valley reports that Rep. Darrell Issa of the House Oversight Committee is pressing White House Deputy CTO Andrew McLaughlin to explain his relationship with Google, where McLaughlin was employed as Google's chief lobbyist. 'The American people have a right to expect that White House employees are working to advance the public interest and not the interests of the lobby shops who formerly employed them,' Issa noted in the letter. 'The use of a Gmail account to communicate with lobbyists and evade transparency laws is at odds with President Obama's promises to limit the influence of lobbyists.' Concerns emerged after screenshots of McLaughlin's Google Buzz account emerged showing that a number of the search giant's top employees subscribed to the deputy Web chief's updates."

Come on man, that guy driving the Toyota was as likely as not lying about it. In any case Toyota doesn't seem to be a significant donor. Neither is Google, which may be part of the problem. Microsoft, on the other hand, is, along with Raytheon.

Is this some new rule about apostrophe usage? I tell you what, I'll be pretty piss'ed if there was a memo and I miss'ed it or it whizz'ed over my head.
At the bottom of the
Yes the rules have changed, but:
1) It's a rule about a'po's'tro'phe usage, I don't know where you're getting this word "apostrophe" from.
2) You don't say "there was a memo", you say "they're was a memo"
Than'queue for you're co'operation.
I personally do not work for Google, so I am never aware of new google technology. I'm lucky i can search for slashdot. Which I do from yahoo. I don't know what they're up to either. And this windows 7 thing came as a complete surprise to me.
