Nicely done. He also highlights two sources for fact checking, http://factcheck.org/ and http://www.politifact.com/ that I've been using as well and includes videos of Obama's talk at Google. (Where Obama asserted, "I'm conservative in the sense that I want us to get back to those values that were essential to building America.") Best thing: I can stop working on a similar page I was drafting. - Chris Wetherell

Wow, this page rocks. I've always liked Peter Norvig, and now I admire/appreciate him even more. This is, IMHO, a very evenhanded and informative examination of the candidates (and their chances in this election). - Adam Lasnik

It's funny how even low-level Compiler decisions are ouput as an XML file. - Sanjeev Singh

"A serious dearth of public market "exits" puts late-stage VCs in a real bind, as well as established private companies with a lot of bills to pay. (God help you if you're, say, a young server-farm company.) "The worst place to be is a late-stage company with a high expense rate, selling products primarily into the U.S. market," says Peter Rip, general partner of Crosslink Capital in San Francisco, which operates both a venture firm and a hedge fund. "That's just a seriously bad place to be, and money is going to get really expensive for those companies." Early-stage VCs may be better off, but with later-stage money drying up, they're faced with holding on to their investments longer and squeezing more out of them. Likewise, as angel investors see their wealth squeezed, they'll probably back off seeding so many startups. In short, everyone gets more conservative." - Atul Arora

"How strange then that no one in the mainstream even blinks when a staggering new Pentagon budget sails through the House of Representatives and then, by voice vote, through the Senate just as negotiators in Washington are scrambling to find a similar sum to deal with a catastrophic financial meltdown; nor does anyone in the mainstream bother to make any connection between that budget and the funds we don't have available to use elsewhere, or between the looting of Iraq and the looting of our financial system (and, in both cases, of course, the looting of the American taxpayer)." - Sean McBride from Bookmarklet

"In the end, the Iraq War will eat one-and-a-half to seven times the bailout money now being raised in Washington." - Sean McBride

"Somalia’s notorious pirates have staged perhaps their most brazen attack yet, seizing a Ukrainian ship in the Indian Ocean full of arms bound for Kenya’s military, including dozens of battle tanks, maritime and diplomatic officials said Friday... But this time the pirates may have gotten more than they bargained for. Unloading the tanks is likely to be well beyond the capacity of the pirates, experts said. Meanwhile, an American naval vessel was Friday in hot pursuit to intercept the ship and the Russian Navy said it was not far behind." - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet

This is a really good talk: the right way to take down terrorist cells, why websites with TRUSTe certification are more likely to be bad than sites without them, why volvo drivers have more accidents and other insights. Freakonomics meets computer science. must watch. - Sanjeev Singh

This is interesting but is it private or for all the world to see? I'd be interested in using this in conjunction with my blog site, but I'd probably want to limit respondents to those who are within my specific sphere. - Justin Long

This was one of my favorite features that never launched (we kept getting too many false positives with the prototype version back in 2005/2006). One of our interns fixed it up this summer. If you use it, let us know if you find any erroneous alerts -- the discussion group will be live soon in http://groups.google.com/group.... - Keith Coleman

@Keith, I did, but still nothing. BTW, my Apps Gmail UI is way behind my Gmail account. - Elias Torres
