It's getting harder to remember when storage space cost real money. Yesterday, I ran across Mathew Ingram's post on S3 - he got a 75 cent monthly bill that handled all of his backup needs. This morning, I ran across this:
YouTube just announced the availability for Windows users of a desktop uploader (install page here). Users will now be able to do bulk file uploads. The company also raised its file size limit from 100 MB to 1 GB. Length will remain at 10 minutes though, so that just means more high quality video will be available on the site.
Meanwhile, a 500 GB drive down at Best Buy is $219. Whether you want to invest the upload time or the money, storage is getting close to free.
