I always read Jon Hilsenrath’s articles on the Fed very
closely. Right now the Fed seems uncertain about QE3, and the decision
remains data dependent (as always) … from Hilsenrath at the WSJ: Fed
Takes a Break To Weigh OutlookFed officials meeting next week are
unlikely to take any new actions to spur the recovery, and they are
likely to emerge with a slightly more upbeat—but still very
guarded—assessment of the economy’s performance.

A big question is whether the Fed will launch a new bond-buying program
in an effort to push down already low long-term interest rates.

Mr. Bernanke signaled to Congress last week that he had doubts about the
sustainability of the employment gains. Fed officials aren’t inclined
to move while they try to solve the puzzle. “In light of the somewhat
different signals received recently from the labor market than from
indicators of final demand and production,” he said, “it will be
especially important to evaluate incoming information …

In 1816, however, Madison revived it in the form of the Second
Bank of the United States. Years later, early renewal of the bank’s
charter became the primary issue in the reelection of President Andrew
Jackson. After Jackson, who was opposed to the central bank, was
reelected, he pulled the government’s funds out of the bank. Nicholas
Biddle, President of the Second Bank of the United States, responded by
contracting the money supply to pressure Jackson to renew the bank’s
charter forcing the country into a recession, which the bank blamed on
Jackson’s policies[citation needed]. Interestingly, Jackson is the only
President to completely pay off the national debt. The bank’s charter
was not renewed in 1836. From 1837 to 1862, in the Free Banking Era
there was no formal central bank. From 1862 to 1913, a system of
national banks was instituted by the 1863 National Banking Act. A series
of bank panics, in 1873, 1893, and 1907, provided strong demand for the

Ha! Go watch footage of MS Execs bragging about their marketshare like 10 years ago. They don’t sell PCs just like you don’t make phones. Other people do with actual Hardware Designers, and actual sales channels do. You guys bought a company that repackaged Linux*. Apple makes about $500 off each phone and tablet they sell. Google doesn’t sell anything except advertising.

(*Note: Lest we forget, the resurgence of Apple goes back to a 1997 purchase of NeXT by Apple. NeXT repackaged UNIX into NeXTSTEP, which became OS X, which later became the basis for iOS).

Take that Larry: you graduated as the country’s eminent computer scholars, and now you run the worlds biggest advertising company. And that’s why you have to come out and beg people to ‘love’ your company. Your Google+ is a pathetic Facebook ripoff, as is your Android (iOS) and GoogleTV (AppleTV). Let’s not even get into the whole Android Tablet debacle.

Oh yeah, one more thing, “Don’t be Evil”.. I know it’s hard, but let’s see if you can go just a day or two without doing anything evil.

Perhaps we all need a little reassurance; I’ve personally debated whether the magic times are behind them. Google is locked into several high-stake battles, fighting for possession and rule of large market empires.

Today, I believe the keys to success require more than building technical integration, you also need invisible assets – do things and make things so great, that people will love you for it! There’s a several sections in Larry’s letter devoted to this overture; which signals to me, that Google is now on a more profound level, refocusing on quality – building measurably better products, services and benefits for users in the future.

Time will tell, but I like the message – be focused, more narrow and just do great things!

Where a very insightful commenter (JG your a smart man- indeed contact me jeremy@see-thru.com if you would like to see results for your question!!) made this statement:

“Google could handle the vapid, Britney Spears queries, Amazon and related competitors the transactional queries, and some new as-yet-to-exist, more librarian-oriented competitor the “what were the historical antecedents of the 2008 financial collapse” queries.  That search engine that really lets me dig deep and find statistics and other sources on whether the collapse was caused by the government forcing banks to make loans to poor people (as libertarians and conservatives claim) or whether it was caused by corporate greed and fiscal irresponsibility (as liberals claim).  That latter search engine would  really let me compare and contrast sources, link various pieces of information together and train the engine myself on which items are related, etc., so as to really be able to dig in and let me chew on my question.”

I noticed you (JB) removed your central response which was that, to
paraphrase, you didn’t need that sort of search but rather liked the
idea of simply going to the library and looking up disparate information
yourself. Indeed that comment was bizarre and obviously detrimental to
so many who want to make billions of pieces of important information
about our world findable and actionable- to make us all more
knowledgeable.

I’m glad you removed your comment as really it is a million miles away from the Wired universe you dream(t?) about.

The roots of all of this well organized reform can be traced
back to the 19th century, such as the Upper Canada’s financial problems
of 1866, the North American panic of 1872 and the 1923 failure of
Toronto’s Home Bank, symbolized today by Casa Loma. Historically, in
Canada, regional risk has always been spread nationally within each
large bank, unlike the uneven geography of US unit banking, layered with
savings & loans of regional or national size, which in turn
disperse their risk through investors. Generally speaking, the Canadian
banking system is well regulated, in part by the little known Office of
the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada), which can in an
extreme case close a financial institution. That and Canada’s tight
mortgage rules mean the risk of bank failures similar to the US are much
less likely…

I will summarise arguments from a range of writers, and argue
that the balance of evidence so far indicates that the antecedents of
the crisis were those of a period of high capitalist dynamism, and that
the sequels – short of revolutionary or near-revolutionary working-class
struggle – are most likely to be on neo-liberal lines…

that the firm’s auditor, Ernst & Young, failed to meet “professional

He is completely correct. I have posted this point before, but
hope no one minds my making the same point. This bailout has been
designed on the basis that it will avoid a depression like the Great
Depression. It is based upon lessons from that crisis. There are two
basic problems with this idea. The first is that today is not the same
circumstance as then. The world is a different place, and the crisis
therefore has different antecedents. The second problem is that this is
an imagined solution to prevent the Great Depression. There is no
evidence that it would have worked then, so why should it work now, in a
time when the circumstances are completely different…

A down payment refers to the cash paid to the lender for the
home and represents the initial homeowners equity or financial interest
in the home. A low down payment means that a home represents a highly
leveraged investment for the homeowner, with little equity relative to
debt. In such circumstances, only small declines in the value of the
home result in negative equity, a situation in which the value of the
home is less than the mortgage amount owed. In 2005, the median down
payment for first-time home buyers was 2%, with 43% of those buyers
making no down payment whatsoever.[38] By comparison, China has down
payment requirements that exceed 20%, with higher amounts for
non-primary residences.[39...
