Will Google Hand Over the Search Data Soon?

From CNN:

Amazon S3

Amazon as part of their web services is launching S3, Simple Storage Service, a data storage system with a REST/ SOAP API for developers. The service costs $0.15 per GB-Month of storage used and $0.20 per GB of transferred data, with no minimum fee. Individual objects can be sized from 1 byte to 5 gigabytes each.

I received a payment error email trying to sign up for, so I suppose just as with their Mechanical Turk it’s US only.
