I live opposite WTC on the Jersey side, and travel through the site daily. I'm loving this site, it really is interesting to see such a vibrant group of interested people contribute to the story of this magnificent building.
Looks like they're finally filling in the south side windows of 123 Washington where the skip was.

“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
The construction hoists in the pics that JohnFlint1985 posted (east side) will extend all the way to the roof, eventually. They are also the high speed, high cap hoists.
The ones on the west side should only extend to the 44th floor, above that internal hoists take over.
Nice shots. The WTC has been opened up to the media more lately, I've been seeing tours on different news outlets. That being said, I do believe that the Port Authority should finally release updated renderings of what the top of the building will look like, whether a deal is finalized with the broadcasters or not. It's the crown of the city, we should know what it's supposed to look like. Those outdated renderings don't give the tower proper justice.

I must say that once they put the veritical beams for floors 35 and 36 the tower will be 406 feet tall. 94 feet left before it will surpass the varcey aka verizon building.
While at MOMA yesterday I came across these photos in an NYC development section. Found them pretty interesting compared to every other render I have seen..

They should re-name it the West Side Parkway.
