inode_buddha writes "Randall Long, a senior attorney who led several antitrust investigations against Google, has been hired by Microsoft. From the article: 'The software giant told the Wall Street Journal yesterday that it hired Randall Long, an official at the FTC's Bureau of Competition. When he joins the software giant at the end of the month, Long will head up Microsoft's regulatory affairs division in Washington. Long was involved in FTC reviews of Google's acquisitions of both DoubleClick and AdMob. According to the Journal's unnamed sources, Long was especially outspoken about Google's AdMob acquisition, saying that the FTC should challenge the deal. His reservations were eventually set aside and the deal was approved in 2010.'"

I know a thing or two about noise. I was watching a pornographic Flash video on xhamster.com which showed a blonde caucasian woman riding a well-endowed black man on the couch. As soon as the cameraman went in for the close-up, the woman farted loudly in the cameraman's face, causing the cameraman to back out of the action right away.
How could somebody be that cameraman and not bust up laughing? He is a true American hero.
