I don't think many people will be that fussed about non-friends knowing who their friends are. A bigger problem will probably be that Pages that you are a fan of are now visible to everyone. This may go against other privacy measures if for example you're a fan of your hometown, or your employer/college etc. Or something that you generally don't want strangers to know that you like...

Dear Sir:
I have been requested by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company to contact you for assistance in resolving a matter. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara region. The contracts have immediately produced moneys equalling US$40,000,000. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations of the Nigerian Government, it is unable to move these funds to another region.
You assistance is requested as a non-Nigerian citizen to assist the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of Nigeria, in moving these funds out of Nigeria. If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. In exchange for your accomodating services, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or US$4 million of this amount.
However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to Nigerian law, you must presently be a depositor of at least US$100,000 in a Nigerian bank which is regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
If it will be possible for you to assist us, we would be most grateful. We suggest that you meet with us in person in Lagos, and that during your visit I introduce you to the representatives of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, as well as with certain officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Please call me at your earliest convenience at [Phone Number]. Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the Nigerian Government will realize that the Central Bank is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it.
Definitely. Lowered ceilings for cooling, raised floors for wiring. Heat rises, so to have the cooling up high makes sense, and wires, well, fall down. Raised floors mean you can have thousands of metres of wires and not see them, trip on them or be able to hang yourself from them. Of course, with both a lowered ceiling and a raised floors, it's only applicable in a workspace for midgets...
bloodninja: Ok baby, we got to hurry, I don't know how long I can keep it ready for you. j_gurli3: thats ok. ok i'm a japanese schoolgirl, what r u. bloodninja: A Rhinocerus. Well, hung like one, thats for sure. j_gurli3: haha, ok lets go. j_gurli3: i put my hand through ur hair, and kiss u on the neck. bloodninja: I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my breeding territory. j_gurli3: haha, ok, u know that turns me on. j_gurli3: i start unbuttoning ur shirt. bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't wear shirts. j_gurli3: No, ur not really a Rhinocerus silly, it's just part of the game. bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f*cking charge your ass. j_gurli3: stop, cmon be serious. bloodninja: It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass. bloodninja: I stomp my feet, the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet. j_gurli3: thats it. bloodninja: Nostrils flaring, I lower my head. My horn, like some phallic symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in the air on my mighty horn. bloodninja: Goddam am I hard now.
Also, does anyone else find it strange having a TLD for mobile devices? I thought TLDs referred to country specific sites (ccTLDs) or to owner specific sites (.org,.gov,.net etc.) not to how the site is accessed?
Site should be "device agnostic". Indeed. Good websites can just use CSS 2(.1) media stylesheets to send different styles to mobile user agents. A good user agent (Opera, Minimo, etc.) will handle this properly, and there's no need for a TLD.
I hope they don't just enforce it and say "it's bad, feck off", but rather enrich and show the webmasters how to create valid content. Not only valid, but accessible and practicle for smaller devices (2 things which aren't touched upon enough in specs). For instance: "Mobile Web Best Practices" has some really good information.

http://correlate.googlelabs.com/search?e=Alfred+Hitchcock&t=weekly# is another good example, especially given that this one is just his name and doesn't include the term "birthday" and that searches for his name probably number quite highly anyway.
Yep:

Look through the past doodles (US/Global ones) here: http://www.google.com/logos/ and then search for them here: http://correlate.googlelabs.com/ to see how powerful the doodle is at generating search volume.
Here's a quick game. Try and find a term with the highest weekly search volume when normalized against the usual search volume for that term.
Here are a few that I tried:
http://correlate.googlelabs.com/search?e=inauguration&t=weekly# - 19.637
http://correlate.googlelabs.com/search?e=Michael+Jackson&t=weekly# - 14.537
http://correlate.googlelabs.com/search?e=Olympics&t=weekly# - 11.656
http://correlate.googlelabs.com/search?e=new+year's+eve&t=weekly# - 8.355

What is a good benchmark?

A false sense of security is worse than no sense of security.

Why not wait 2 days and post then that it _has_ been released? "To be released in 2 days" isn't really newsworthy...
Cowshit!
