Google news – infinite storage????
Well after a bit of a roundup of some of the security news items the last week, it’s time to sum up the Google front…. Googling Google tells us that Infinite storage is on the horizon…. they cite a translator that has done work for google. He has been asked to translate “The result?… from today we are starting our infinite storage plan” Now, they surmise that this could be related to the “platypus” project which has been known as gdrive which appears to be an online file synchronization/backup solution. It could be and would certainly be interesting. However, it could be a gmail upgrade for that matter.
Google has many irons in the fire of course…. they’ve also added live traffic updates in Google Maps for some 30 US cities. And there are other hints from a study of the sandbox for Google Checkout of other new services potentially on the horizon. I wonder if there’s an entire division within Google tasked to keep track of new product initiatives…. I wonder how many are assigned to track rumors (if any)…. Of the hints…. many have been mentioned before (Google Real Estate) but there are interesting possibilities for the others (Google Workplace?)
