$100 per TB is disgusting especially when we have advanced so much in this area, it's because RAM, Flash memory costs so much that creating a small factor, lots of space drives are just through the roof in material requirements.

Good news for Amazon.

I use it by choice but only for specific tasks that I have forgotten and it's quicker to ask then spend time wasted finding a decent answer on Google or coding a certain language. I prefer to use it. I do think that as it gets integrated into everything, when we eventually fully rely on it, I'm talking new gens not older gens like me, that we won't think for ourselves, I mean we will become lazy thinkers, lazy logical answer to problem which will go badly. But if we don't become fully dependant, we might be OK but I don't think personally we are going to be OK, not for the newer generations. Unless they advance in that space to the next level of intelligence where it can work out its own problems and create ideas for itself.

Pity the article on MS website gives no indication when said "20%" performance gains will actually be rolled out to users.

I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
