So Google gets attacked in China by cyberfiends and then, because their entire 'Trust Me I'm Google Business Model is endangered, they run to the National Security Agency for help.   So the "Don't be Evil" mantra is nothing when it comes to money pouring from a billion Chinese but when that deal with the devil turns on you, then you run back to the U.S. for help to a government spy agency.

Now if the Google guys believe in the supremacy of the United Nations, they should've gone there for a resolution.  But those people are ineffectual and worthless.  Most members don't even adhere to their own Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  So they'd better be saying the Pledge of Allegiance every day in the Google Building.

Google to enlist NSA to help it ward off cyberattacks

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. The sources said the deal does not mean the NSA will be viewing users' searches or e-mail accounts or that Google will be sharing proprietary data.

A Chinese Blogger, Race Car Driver and Novelist defies Chinese Socialist Dictators:

He caused uproar last year when, walking past a racetrack rostrum where high-ranking officials were seated, he gave them the middle finger – but no action was taken against him.

On his blog, he has regularly accused government or Communist party officials of corruption, without getting into trouble.

He does not mince his words. Arguing that the Communist party should establish laws to make its workings more transparent, he says: “For example, I believe China has the world’s biggest sex and gambling industries [both are banned in China], their biggest customers are maybe our Communist party members.”

Han’s secret protective shield is probably a mixture of his popularity and the fact that he never challenges the party’s supremacy in principle.

"Fr0m Th3 Cyb3r Battle L1nes: Who Should Lead the Charge?"

In the ever-changing conflict between the West and Islamist radicals, one front – the Internet – has emerged as a major battlefield. And, while in many areas of this frontier the Islamists strut about unchecked, one man, code-name th3j35t3r ("The Jester"), has made it his point to strike back with (cyber) force. As first reported by the security blog ThreatChaos, "The Jester" made a different kind of New Year's resolution than most: to wage war on jihadist and pro-Islamist websites and forums by systematically disrupting their servers via denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

Also unlike most, he has made good on his promise thus far – and there is no sign that he will let up.

"The Jester has been documenting his attacks against www.alemarah.info, www.radicalislam.org, islamicpoint.net, www.almaghrib.org, www.as-ansar.com, www.islamicnetwork.com, www.islamicawakening.com, [and] www.ansarnet.info, since the beginning of 2010," according to the ThreatChaos report.
