felisGoodmanon A Wretched Google Interview Experience

Just two months? I've been doing the interview 'process' for at least three months, and i'm expecting another month if things go "right".

I was head-hunted by them initially. Had a casual phone interview within the week. Then scheduled and re-scheduled a technical interview (their fault, three more weeks). Then two weeks later I had another casual phone interview. Then waited two weeks for the on-site six-interview bonanza. I finished those 4th thru 9th interview two weeks ago, and recruiter just told me yesterday to wait for the hiring committee to give a decision in another week.

felisGoodmanon Google’s Real Secret Spy Program? Secure FTP

If the NSA can request data on 'suspects' at will from Google, how is that functionally different from a dragnet? Arbitrary data could be collected via phone records, then email/user data could be requested from Google/Facebook based on 'suspicious activity'.

I bet that the bombshell disclosure will be that these 'proper legal warrants' are actually just arbitrary requests justified via the Patriot Act or similar.
