The world's largest Internet search company and the world's most powerful electronic surveillance organization are teaming up in the name of cybersecurity.
Under an agreement that is still being finalized, the National Security Agency would help Google analyze a major corporate espionage attack that the firm said originated in China and targeted its computer networks, according to cybersecurity experts familiar with the matter. The objective is to better defend Google -- and its users -- from future attack. Google and the NSA declined to comment on the partnership. But sources with knowledge of the arrangement, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the alliance is being designed to allow the two organizations to share critical information without violating Google's policies or laws that protect the privacy of Americans' online communications.

Turns out that Mr Fornarino lives just down the street from Atkinson's office. Humiliated, Atkinson rescinded the censorship law: "From the feedback we've received through AdelaideNow, the blogging generation believes that the law supported by all MPs and all political parties is unduly restrictive.
I have listened. I will immediately after the election move to repeal the law retrospectively... List.it: Post-It Notes for the Twitter Generation. While furiously trying to organize my digital life this past weekend, I found myself as I often do - with an obscene number of tabs open at the same time while hopping from thought to thought.
