Feds to Google: Turn over the goods

The federal government has told Google there's no way it can avoid handing over subpoenaed information about its users' search habits and, in fact, the company has 21 days to get 'er done. The feds want a random sample of a million Web searches to help the administration shore up its reasoning for an antipornography law. It has nothing to do with you, personally. I'm pretty sure.

Newsweek might do better if they actually reported the news instead of being in the back pocket of Obama and the democrats. All people ask for is fair and balanced reporting. Their reporting is so one sided that is becomes a joke and that is what this magazine has turn into over the years. Too bad as it was a good magazine.

Perhaps there are others out there like me who can't stand to look at Newsweek's "redesign." Articles that look like ads, ads that look like articles. It's an incoherent mess that forced my hand to not renew my subscription.

I've always thought of it as "Jewsweek". Not in an anti-Semetic way, just a generic summation of the intended audience and slant. There's a whole country out here, outside of New York City and Washington DC - hint.

Just another indicator, that all is NOT well with the economy, nor with the job market.

Totally contrary to what we would expect to hear, if indeed, we were "recovering".

The magazine's above mentioned re-design is hideous. It's bland and boring with no sense of layout and use of typography whatsoever. The re-design made it look old - like it hadn't had a refurbishment in decades.

Newsweek is going out of business because of the management attitude that created the Sarah Palin cover. No one will miss it.

The Sarah Palin cover is the best one EVER! Sarah is a model first and that is what she does best. I guarantee that if Palin was an obese female with a few missing teeth, and walked with a limp, but other wise everything else the same, she'd have been put out with the trash a long time ago. Today, she is still as entertaining as the singing fish.

If Sara Palin was the Vice President now we would be several trillion fewer dollars in debt as a country. Obama is a disaster!!!
