    They will be virtually on unlimited disk space. After all YouTube is owned by Google.

    Hit up rackspace (I believe that is where they started) if you want to get started, but like everyone said Google is in control and as we all know Google controls the universe.

    The next step would be exabytes, and thats relatively a lot of space!

    I said relatively because I find it amusing how storage space measuring has evolve in the past years and how we perceive it, I still remember how my 800 megabytes hard drive among my friends was a total "WOW thats a lot of space" (and expensive I may add) and after that 1.2 gigabytes was another big "HOLY MOLY!" ah ah ah not to mention going a little further back in time where we were dealing with kilobytes, and just take a look at todays RAM requirements, some kid at a store were complaining that their rig had just 1 gig of ram, I got a little tear on my cheek when I thought of my old pc with 8 mega of ram, that was blazing fast back in the day. :eek:

    Now I feel that my almost 2 terabytes are just "MEH!" :rolleyes:
    beside feeling older myself :eek:
