Man Tests ‘Unlimited Cloud Storage’ with 300 Years Of Porn

Unlimited storage.  It’s a continued marketing trends in media — but what exactly does “unlimited” look like?

One user of Reddit decided to put Amazon’s service to the test.  He used scripts to record and compile just under 2 petabytes of pornography in the cloud.

That must be a lot, considering I had to look up the definition of a petabyte (a million gigabytes, for the record).  In order to sit and view all that smut, the article from Vice estimated it would take a person about 293 years, 6 months to get through it all.  You read that right.  That’s 300 years of your life you couldn’t get back.

Coincidentally, Amazon discontinued the unlimited packages in June.  I wonder why that is?  — [eric]
