What sort of help do Google and the National Security Agency give each other?

Something,
it looks like, but we are not going to be told about it, if a U.S. Court of
Appeals ruling
issued last Friday stands.

I
wonder if Google
and NSA will merge one day. 

On
the other hand, something that discourages intelligence operatives in China
from hacking into our e-mails is probably a good thing. Hmm -- maybe I am learning how to love Big Brother?
