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

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
