Submission + - Google Announces Vast Online Storage for Cheap (blogspot.com)

tbg58 writes: Google Software Engineer Elvin Lee reports that Google is offering vast amounts of online storage — 16TB of online storage are available for only $4096 per year from the Googleplex. This is good news. The bad news is the only interfaces to the storage appear to be Gmail, Picasa, and Blogger. So I am wondering whether to expect a stampede of really, really heavy email users, extraordinarily enthusiastic photographers and fantastically prolific bloggers ponying up for 16TB of online storage for less than $5k per year.
Now if Google made the legendary GDrive available as an interface to this storage — THAT would be real news.

At approximately 2 minutes into the flight the video feed stopped, and SpaceX representatives reported "there has been an anomaly in the vehicle."
