The NSA and their spying is bad news for "cloud" storage.  No one
wants the US government in their business, even if it's 100% legal...
Those with power simply can't be trusted with it.  That was the point
of three branches of government in the US.  That was when the US
government was small.  Today, with a monstrously large US government,
we need like 36 branches or so to maintain impotence, er.. incompetence,
uh.. inefectiveness, ... I mean balance.

This 384GB memory article came up today.  They use 3D: 24 layers of
16GB chips.  So, maybe 1TB is not quite such an improvement...
