That was an absolutely hilarious "demo." I know it was for real but it was still the sort of thing that makes you just shake your head and laugh. I don't want to be the one paying the S3 bill afterwards though :-)

#8Fun, old school massive data transfer as a service. For those of you too lazy to do the math, filling up one of these trucks to capacity (100PB) would run your 500,000 USD per month, ~17k per day (purely for transit).
Edit: I assume that you'd only get charged for the time your vehicle is in transit, though the pricing info doesn't make that super clear. Also, as pointed out, list rates may differ from bulk rates.

Though I assume if you have >100PB to store you aren't paying list rates.

#10Who even has that much data, outside of Google and Facebook?
I mean - I totally believe there are people that do have that much, I just don't know who they are.
Fake Edit: Film?
