Google Rolls Out Online Storage Services

An anonymous reader writes "The associated press reports that Google is slated to provide online storage at a price. From the article: 'Web search and Internet services company Google Inc. on Friday began selling expanded online storage, targeted for users with large picture, music or video file collections. The prices range from $20 per year for 6 gigabytes of online storage; $75 per year for 25 gigabytes of storage; $250 per year for 100 gigabytes of storage; and $500 per year for 250 gigabytes of storage.' Is this too expensive for what there offering, or are you going to make use of it?"

    >>> Yes, and I can get a pair of shoes or a blowjob for that too.

    Which store does that combo? I'm heading there as soon as I find out!

    That would be OK too, because then they can detected it encrypted with "foo algorithm" and send you a targeted advertisement that "Biz bang Algorithm is better" and then offer you links to crypto products and stuff. Either way, they win :) It's brilliant.

    Sigh.

    Here we go again, wielding the language of Shakespeare with all the delicate sensitivity and purpose of a surgeon wielding a cosh.

      Fine. Editors, please correct this typo. It should read: "Is this to expensive for what their offering."

    And again, online storage is something you just dump something on. It's a big truck. It's not a series of tubes.

    Read more carefully. They don't offer it as a combo, it's either/or ... either the shoes or the blowjob.

    If you're looking for a combo then $100 will get you a pair of sandals and a reacharound.

    Actually, $500 for a Hummer (even the tiny H3) would be a pretty good deal!! Like printers, they'll get you on the refill costs.
