Google on Ulitzer

Google reportedly called up the black ops National Security Agency (NSA) after the Chinese - perhaps the Chinese military - broke into its computers apparently to steal its secrets for their Great Leap Forward. Google wants help improving its, well, security, according to the Washington Post. Everything is - shhh! - very hush-hush; the terms of their liaison are reportedly still being worked out. Some 30 other companies were also hit in that so-called Aurora attack, which provoked Google to threaten to leave China unless it can stop censoring its searches. The FBI is also working with Google according to the Wall Street Journal, which says Google has so far only shared some information related to the attack with the NSA. It's apparently tip-toeing around privacy issues and fears of continuous government monitoring. McAfee estimates that $1 trillion worth of IP was stolen through the Internet in 2008.
