Free Virtual Drive
There is something magnificently brash and beautiful about Google and their super secret future plans. Take today's latest - they want to offer users an infinite online storage service service.
Dubbed GDrive, the system would mirror users hard drives, even those power users with terabytes of data...
The Beeb reports the plans were revealed accidentally after a blogger spotted notes in a slideshow presentation wrongly published on Google's site.
Chief executive Eric Schmidt reportedly said Google's aim was to "store 100%" of users' information.
The notes said: "With infinite storage, we can house all user files, including e-mails, web history, pictures, bookmarks, etc; and make it accessible from anywhere (any device, any platform, etc)."
Question is - do you fancy such a service and would you be willing to see adverts based on your hard drive content?
The slides have now been deleted and Google spokeswoman Lynn Fox said: "We deleted the slide notes because they were not intended for publication," she said.
"We are constantly working on new ways to enhance our products and services for users, but have nothing to announce at this time."
