Some more unpleasantness leading off today as VentureBeat reports on the DDoS attack on GitHub continuing and evolving. Also from VentureBeat, Google has started morphing some of Google+ as photos and videos are now available in Google Drive. By itself, this is not a big thing, but we know that Google has not been thrilled by the usage of Google+. This could just be a move to make Google+ even more pervasive as they get ready to push it heavily for enterprises.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
