Google, I praise thee...



For a long time Google has offered 1GB of storage for their Picasa service. 1GB is not very much (only around 300 full resolution pictures taken with a six megapixel camera), so users who wish to backup all their photos have to purchase extra storage (which also can be used on Gmail if 7+GB isn't enought). The prices upto now were 10GB for $20, 50GB for $75, and so on. So far I've used 7.18GB out of my 10GB plan, and already been annoyed by the fact that there were nothing between 10GB and 40GB...
Today this changed! Not only have they lowered the prices, but at the same time they've added more storage. So now the prices are 20GB for $5, 80GB for 20$, and so on upto 16TB (whoever needs that much?). With 80GB (70GB more than before!)  I can easily backup all my parents photos too without risking anything (80GB is almost a quarter million high res photos!). I wonder what else I can backup...
