Keep uses Google Drive, so your data isn't going anywhere.

When Google Notebook shutdown in 2011, all of the data was automatically exported to Google Docs, which was later replaced by Google Drive in 2012. So now all of my notes are stored in Google Drive, but that isn't doing me any good because Keep wont read them. If Keep eventually shuts down, sure the data might survive, but will anything be able to use it?

Submission + - Suppresed video of Japanese reactor sodium leak (wikileaks.org)

Submitted by James Hardine on Sunday January 27, 2008 @10:32AM

James Hardine writes: Following an announcement this week that the infamous Japanese Monju fast-breeder nuclear reactor would be re-opened with a new plutonium core, Wikileaks have released suppressed video footage of the disaster that lead to its closure in 1995. The video shows men in silver "space suits" exploring the reactor in which sodium compounds hang from the air ducts like icicles. Unlike conventional reactors, fast-breeder reactors, which "breed" plutonium, use sodium rather than water as a coolant. This type of coolant creates a potentially hazardous situation as sodium is highly corrosive and reacts violently with both water and air. Government officials at first played down the extent of damage at the reactor and denied the existence of a videotape showing the sodium spill. The deputy general manager, Shigeo Nishimura, 49, jumped to his death the day after a news conference where he and other officials revealed the extent of the cover-up. His family is currently suing the government at Japan's High Court.
