What kind of image? All white? Why 10,000 images and not 500 images or 1 image? Is the speed dependent on the number of images being decompressed? That is meaningless. These PR articles are foolish.
Look at the replies to this story. You will see people stupid enough to fall for it. One guy paid top dollar for a Surface laptop and is happy because he gets A YEAR of "free" storage! LOL.
Because then you will pay for 10GB. The issue isn't about people storing 75TB. The financial types realized that not enough people were transitioning to their paid services. It is just a business strategy.
You are right. You would need to pay an extra $10 for the Western Digital "cloud" drive for all that. Of course you don't get the benefits of a corporation scanning all of your data though. My mistake.
Except when the Cloud provider loses it because they have a system failure like Amazon has had happen in the past. The cloud isn't magic. If you are worried about backups then you should backup your data. Using the cloud has nothing it do with that. Just because your data is in the cloud doesn't mean it no longer needs to be backed up.
He is storing music not the Constitution. You can buy a "cloud" harddrive for $70 if you want and attach it to your own home network. OneDrive is not for backups - if you are using it for that you are doing it wrong. Paying $7 a month for storage is ridiculous. That isn't impressive at all. Cloud services go down all the time.
Financial types like to pay/receive rent because it makes it much easier on them to predict their quarterly profit/loss. They don't like unknowns, even if the unknown is a net positive to the company. That is what drives the cloud strategy.
No, you have been fooled by the marketing people. They say "unlimited" because they know it sounds good. If they don't mean "unlimited" then say "5 TB max" or "20GB max". But that doesn't sound as good on an advertisement. Don't apologize for the marketers. They know what they were doing.
What a bargain! Only $69.95 per year for 1TB? That is only 40% more than a 1TB hard drive costs. And you get to pay for it every year you say? What a great value!
Um, no. That isn't abuse. That is an intentional marketing strategy. Do you think that Darden, Inc cares if you bring in a busload of people and only buy one entree and the rest eat breadsticks? No, they don't care because that would never happen in reality, and even if it did it would be a minuscule loss of profit. Breadsticks are cheap. What they care about is the marketing message of "free breadsticks!". It worked on you. Now everytime you pass an Olive Garden you say to your "hey they serve free breadsticks".
If someone says you have "unlimited" storage, then you can assume you have "unlimited" storage. It is marketing.
...the race to the cloud is a race to extract rent payments for users. Make no mistake: that is what it is about. The strategy is to give it away for free at first to get all of us to eventually pay a monthly fee for these services so the CFO can accurately forecast their quarterly revenue. In addition, once everything is moved to the cloud, you won't need a PC anymore. You can use a "cloud" enabled. Eventually this will be a requirement, and you will only be allowed on the Internet if you use an approved "cloud" device. If you don't, you might be a terrorist, or a pirate, or a pirate terrorist.
Please explain how being a "figurehead" and a "well known public face" (that no one has ever heard of outside of the Tor community) enables him "to do a lot of this stuff". Is it some magical power? Fucking ridiculous.
What "status" does this guy have? Give me a break. He is a fucking PROGRAMMER. You guys act like he is a billionaire dictator of a Third World country that women can't say no to.
What power does Jacob Applebaum have? He is a nobody. He is a programmer. He isn't rich or powerful. Oh, he manipulates women to get sex? Welcome to planet Earth. Lets look at one of the "stories": from that website:
"Jake and I had some minor romantic interest in each other when he invited me to his apartment one evening. He told me he wanted to take a bath, and invited me into his bathroom to hang out with him. I said, okay, but I don't want to take a bath with you."

According to the summary it can decode back to the original bit. Slashdot 2016.

Hahah. "more secure" because you are paying them. Nice! You had me going there for a second. I thought you were serious.
If you are using OneDrive as your backup you are using it wrong. But yeah, you get an "office suite". Its free, right? What a bargain.
Wow. Your Surface tablet was free? Christ, now I know someone who actually bought one. I was wondering what type of person actually fell for that.
Congratulations. You are thinking like a CFO. Why pay for infrastructure? You should work for the U.S. Government.
Congrats. Now you are thinking like a CFO.
No it isn't. It is about making money. Give me a break.

It is a pirate that terrorizes people. People being Corporations of course. Corporations are people too.

It has deep integration with systemd too. What could possibly go wrong?
Oh yes, the "poor Google" defense. How original.
