Extremely interesting.
In response to the threat of intelligence agencies like NSA and GCHQ, Security researchers from American and Israeli academics have developed a new advanced Tor client called Astoria specially designed to make eavesdropping harder.

Nice read very interesting. I would like to point out that TOR has been regarded as not enough on it's own for quite some time now. It's been highly recommended to couple it's usage with a VPN provider who doesn't keep logs. Further anonymity is possible by purchasing the VPN with BitCoin or other crypto currency.

I do not know. .... I think i2p is bether because it chooses nodes randomly
-
Most likely NSA (or related state agency) has control of more than 50% of the exit/entry nodes. It wouldn't be too expensive to do.
So just from statistics over the long term they'll be able to use timing attacks to figure out who's been posting where there.

Well, I just really hope this can happen, but the NSA will be apon us soon, when they harness the power of Quantum Computing, lets hope this never happens.

*sigh*
Quantum Computing isnt magic. The greatest advantage to them for an entity like the nsa is in breaking cryptography. It cant magic your location behind tor/vpn/proxy. It doesnt work that way.

Here is a book on Quantum Computers called: Schrödinger's Killer App: Race to Build the World's First Quantum Computer
