  1. Buster says:

    Hospitals with more than 400 beds spent an average of $2.18 million on advertising in 2010 (and almost none of it conveys useful information.)

    This is little more than brand awareness advertising. It generally conveys the image of compassion and quality, even if the inpatient experience has little to do with either.

  2. Cabaret says:

    From the ethics section of change.gov

    “Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled.”

    Except when it exposes an entire agency.

  3. Baker says:

    “A second person who has worked at a large Silicon Valley company confirmed that it received legal requests from the federal government for stored passwords. Companies ‘really heavily scrutinize’ these requests, the person said. ‘There’s a lot of ‘over my dead body.'”

    On the margin, it is to hear giant companies don’t want to give the government our passwords.

  4. Sandip says:

    “ObamaCare Call Center hiring part-time workers, with no health benefits.”

    Sense the irony?

  5. Sandip says:

    “Is your cable box spying on you?”

    Not mine.

  6. Tate says:

    “Is your cable box spying on you?”

    I’ve just come to the realization that any piece of technology is spying on me.

  7. Brian says:

    “Obama Promise To ‘Protect Whistleblowers’ Just Disappeared From Change.gov”
    It’s called website maintenance, why is this a some type of breach in ethics?

  8. Craig says:

    Yeah, Google and Verizon have gone too far on this one with regards to consumer marketing.

  9. Bart says:

    Time to start changing passwords hourly.
