Security experts said they believe that government spies bypassed Google and Yahoo and targeted the fiber-optic cables that connect their data centers.
Richard Platt's insight:
If this is true, (and being ex-military, I wouldn't put it past my former colleagues) then the NSA and the US government, just wrote a check that they cannot afford to cash.
This is the equivalent of J. Edgar Hoover's wire-tapping people who he didn't like that he had an axe to grind with, and this would be a violation of multiple rights. Which naturally falls under the jurisdiction of the 14th Amendment. Tsk, Tsk....simply put IDIOTS. The President will need to sacrifice some cows over at the NSA, and elsewhere until this issue gets closed out. Americans and other freedom lovers don't mind stopping terrorists, but they value their privacy (and it is protected by law) and this action, again if true, goes way too far under that umbrella of "protecting the nation", is this a carryover from President Bush? Who signed off on this to begin with?

Do you treat it as your own, or is it theirs? What is the PR backlash going to be if you treat it incorrectly or don't proected it for them in the design? - Clearly a rhetorical question

At nearly 500 teraflop/s, Amazon cloud team makes its fastest supercomputer yet.

It reminds me of Justin Rattner's (my former boss, Senior Intel Fellow - now ex-CTO) who built the Department of Energy's ASCI Red System, the 1st computer to sustain one teraFLOPS and the fastest computer in the world between 1996 and 2000. But this Amazon Beast is clearly a major step change up the ladder of performance. Well done Mr. Bezos,
