It's hard to blame LeCun/Hinton/Ng for moving towards industry with data like that. I'd bet that the only place with more data than FB/Google is our good friends at the NSA.

My friend used to work at NSA research. He said they don't have much ready to use data yet

Apparently, it's because NSA researchers are spending all their time playing WoW instead.
