In May, Google made international headlines when it announced that it was going to offer free, unlimited storage for photos and videos. If you read Google's press release, you'll see that the free storage plan limits images to 16 megapixels and videos to 1080p resolution. But if digital images are simply collections of binary data and if all other files on your computer also just collections of binary data then isn't unlimited photo storage simply unlimited storage?

If only something existed that made this easy to do; you know, something that could bitmap all the things....

[ Ed's Comment: This link points to the author's own personal software solution, but I'm sure that others will come up with alternative ideas.]
