Google Plans Service to Store Users' Data Online

achillean wrote this morning with a link to the Wall Street Journal, announcing plans we've all seen coming for a while: an online data storage service from Google. Though the article doesn't come out and call the project 'gDrive' or anything like that, it does indicate the service could be available within the next few months. "Google's push underlines a shift in how businesses and consumers approach computing. They are increasingly using the Web to access applications and files stored in massive computer data centers operated by tech companies such as Salesforce.com Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Google. Such arrangements, made possible by high-speed Internet connections between homes, offices and data centers, aim to ease users' technology headaches and, in some cases, cut their costs."

    I am very patient with that... know why? I bring something from the ancient times with me.

    They used to call it a book, very amazing stuff these books, they could display their information and maintain storage even during magnetic interference or EMP blasts, though still quite vulnerable to heat and acid based attacks.
