Google has an unorthodox style of business that continues to astound me. For one thing they started giving out 2 gigs of free space while Yahoo/MSN and others were still giving 250M and closing out accounts after 30 days of no activity. They also give 1gig of space for pictures with Picasa. Now they give 6gigs for hard drive space for a measily $20/year.
There were some rumors about them doing something called “gdrive” which would be an application that would use a bit a space on personal computer around the world. Genius! I can be quite secure too. I saw some technology built into the Sidewinder Firewall that effectively seperated every service in its own area of hard drive so that if that service was comprimised it would not do damage to the rest of the system.
