This is a little off-topic but as I listened to Eric Schmidt (Google) yesterday, I couldn’t help notice: look at the way he’s standing!

It’s a wonderful posture; instead of hiding behind the lectern, he’s really opening himself toward the public.

Now as to his posture, I’d say here’s a good lesson for politicians..
