Random Tangent Part 2

Here is the second edition of the Random Tangent which at this point will be a biweekly recurring post.  Hopefully the 5 people that read my last tangent (the Twitter valuation post is currently my most popular) found it interesting as I covered a new idea for Google+, The Groupon/Foursquare partnership (I still owe a full post), and thoughts on the Debt Crisis.  Be on the look out for a new series of posts on finding a job in the NYC Tech Scene to premier this Thursday (tomorrow) and will hopefully be posted weekly.  On to the news:

Google buys Motorola, S&P doesn't have a leg to stand on, and a surprisingly good GOP debate gets lost like dust in the wind.
