Google adds Account Chooser to help you manage multiple Gmail accounts
I don’t know about you, but I have multiple Google accounts that I use for different purposes and while Google has attempted in the past to allow you to stay signed in to multiple accounts I’ve found it doesn’t always work well, especially if you switch between a regular Google/Gmail account and a Google Apps account. I’m not sure how long this functionality has existed, but Google now has a feature called “Account Chooser” that let’s you associate and display a list of Google/Gmail accounts. The purpose is to avoid the constant need to enter your email and password credentials if you often switch between accounts.

Harry Reid resorts to Republican-like tactics and the media loses it’s mind
I wrote last week about Senator Harry Reid’s claim that Mitt Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years. In that post I agreed with Jon Stewart’s segment where he called Harry Reid “terrible,” and I still stand by that assessment mainly because Reid felt the need to say, “His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son.” That’s not only terrible, it’s awful.

The Facts: Obama vs. Bush On Job Creation
First let’s get this out-of-the-way. Presidents are not job creators. They don’t wave a wand and poof, magically there are millions of new jobs. Presidents can set the tone for policy and they can have a major influence on congressional legislation that can lead to favorable economic conditions for job growth. But this is clearly a much more muddy process than we like to believe when we talk presidents and job creation.
