President Obama intends to nominate veteran Rep. Melvin Watt to head the 
Federal Housing Finance Agency, the government regulator that oversees lending 
giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and he has chosen a former 
cable and wireless industry lobbyist to head the Federal Communications 
Commission, according to White House officials.If confirmed by the Senate 
for the FHFA post, Watt, a North Carolina Democrat who has been 
in Congress for 20 years, would replace Edward DeMarco, an appointee of 
President George W. Bush, who has been a target of housing advocates, 
liberal groups and Democratic lawmakers.Also on Wednesday, Obama plans to 
nominate Tom Wheeler, one of his top campaign fundraisers, as the country's 
top telecommunications regulator. He is expected to name FCC Commissioner 
Mignon Clyburn to serve as acting chairwoman while Wheeler awaits Senate 
confirmation.Wheeler raised more than $500,000 for Obama's re-election effort, 
according to data provided by the campaign. He also contributed more than 
$17,000 combined to Obama's re-election and to several Senate campaigns, 
including Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine's successful effort.Wheeler 
is former head of the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association 
and the National Cable Television Association. Since 2005, he has been a 
venture capitalist at Core Capital Partners. Wheeler would replace outgoing 
chairman Julius Genachowski, who announced in March he would be stepping

ions of users.Using the simple MyGlass 
smartphone app, you can configure the Google+ sharing features on Glass: 
Which of your contacts you want ready access to, which groups you 
want to share videos and pictures to, and so on. For what 
its worth, Google+ actually does social networking better than Facebook 
in some ways, and sharing pics with groups and individuals is as 
easy as taking them.On the other hand, social networking is both a 
Glass strength and its Achilles Heel: Everyone I saw while wearing Glass 
stared, then eventually asked me if I was recording them. Are we 
live right now? Is this online?For the record, no, Glass is not 
violating your privacy. No, it is not surreptitiously recording you. No, 
it does not do face recognition. No, I am not seeing through 
your clothing.While Googles wild invention does raise those questions, the 
device is designed to skirt them all: To start recording a video 
or snap a shot, you need to actively turn it on. And 
theres no red light on the front to indicate activity, but whoever 
youre speaking with should be able to see the active screen.And Google 
told me face recognition would require some processing power thats simply 
out of the question, at least for now.That said, what it does 
do is tantalize. Want directions? There they are. Want to share a 
picture of your trip? Done. Need a fact to wow a dinner 
party? There it is.Just dont wear Glass during the dinner party. At 
least, thats what my wi
