Google Close To Launching Cloud Storage 'Google Drive'

MrSeb writes with this selection from ExtremeTech: "Why doesn't Google offer a cloud storage service to rival Dropbox, Box.net, or Microsoft's SkyDrive? Google has the most internet-connected servers in the world, the largest combined storage of any web company, and already offers photo storage (Picasa), document storage (Docs), music storage (Music), but for some reason it has never offered a unified Google Drive. According to people familiar with the matter, however, our wait is almost over: Google's Hard Drive In The Sky is coming soon, possibly 'within weeks.' Feature-wise, it sounds like Google Drive will be comparable to Dropbox, with free basic storage (5GB?) and additional space for a yearly fee."

When I was little and I had no sense,
I took a whiz on the electric fence.
It hurt so bad,
It shocked my BALLS.
Then I took a crap in my overalls!
America, you are slowly taking a crap in your overalls because you whizzed on the electric fence of terrorism.
WTF?
