NSA had reverse-engineered many of Google's and Yahoo's inner workings. Only they're allowed to spy on everyone! (caution for kid sister: article contains that real scary 'f' word hinted in the title)

So their internal network was unencrypted the entire time?
I get it now.
This stormtrooper[^] was an NSA agent all along.
Probably has an USB stick hidden in his codpiece or something.

Yup, and still is, except for between data centers. Seems a bit of a half-fix, but what do I know about running a network of that size.
Never trust the stormtroopers. They can't aim, and as they're all clones, they die together.

when you're running millions of servers even increasing power consumption by 1% for encryption costs real money. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

There you go - one of many things I wouldn't have thought of.
Which makes me again wish those barges were going to be floating data centers. Having their butts sitting on ocean water may have been a nice passive cooling strategy. Of course, you'd still have to get the fibre over to the mainland.

Combining all these technology advances means that for the first time, Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers will be able to use the power of graphics processing in the Cloud and OTOY’s ORBX.js streaming technology to deliver high performance games and desktop applications to the Web – using only HTML5 and JavaScript.

It was fun not knowing, but today Google took the mystery away from exactly what it’s doing on a barge in San Francisco Bay, and another floating in Portland, Maine. I was holding out hope that it would be a pirate ship

Microsoft is not new to the concept of donating software for those in need; every year, the company uses DreamSpark, BizSpark, and their team devoted to “corporate citizenship” to donate software and services around the world to those in need. Microsoft has also been noted to donate to nonprofits and have kept Office 365 free of charge to those who qualify. Now, the team up in Redmond will be adding Windows 8.1 to that list. Well, that's one way to get people using it
Bravo for good corporate citizenship.

Box trumps Dropbox, Egnyte, Citrix ShareFile, EMC Syncplicity, and OwnCloud with rich mix of file sync, file sharing, user management, deep reporting, and enterprise integration. Of course, not to many beat "a hard drive in your own server", but here you go

As the old saying goes, when they start insulting you, you’re obviously doing something right. And judging by the comments being thrown Google’s way by Microsoft about Gmail, it’s pretty obvious that Redmond is worried. He’s worried enough about Gmail to build a new website and start a public smear campaign. "Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win."
For those who think Google's the only NSA-conduit, I think you're just fooling yourselves.

If you can't beat them, drug them to the mud? Sad, that Microsoft spend's it time and money on this kind of things.
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).
