Steve Lohr, New York TImes

"The federal government is beginning a major research initiative in big data computing. The effort, which will be announced on Thursday, involves several government agencies and departments, and commitments for the programs total $200 million."

Annie's take:

It is good to see the public sector stepping up to the challenges around big data, particularly where science and technology are concerned.
