After the recent article in Wired, it's now an open secret that the NSA is building a huge data center in Bluffdale UT.
Why? I think one of its main goals is to crack AES. My two cents worth...

Beijing, where is the Panchen Lama?
China kidnapped the Panchen Lama years ago. For those of you who don't know about him, he's one of the three leaders of Tibetan Buddhism along with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and His Holiness the Karmapa.

Google Drive Rocks
Google Drive is a game changer and I say that as a Dropbox fanboy. There are already apps in Chrom Web Store and I'm keeping track of Google Drive hacks & plugins: www.JetCityOrange.com/google-drive/
Google Drive is a consumer front end to Google's plumbing. For free! 24/7 five 9's and free as in beer.
Google+ means nothing to me but sticking stuff in Google's cloud? OK! I'm assuming given how tightly it's tied to Gmail that it'll use HTTPS. Please oh please tell me I can grab a public URL for anything I stick up there. HTML & XML/RSS included. PLEEZE!
