Today's Story Highlights

Amazon Fires 1st Shot in Storage Price War
Amazon on Thursday announced two new plans for unlimited storage in its
Cloud Drive service. The Unlimited Photos plan includes 5 GB of
additional storage for videos or other documents and files. It costs
$11.99 per year. The Unlimited Everything option provides limitless
cloud storage of photos, videos, movies, music and files for $59.99 per
year. Both plans come with a free three-month trial.

FTC Blasts WSJ's 'Misleading Narrative' on Google
FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez, along with Commissioners Julie Brill and
Maureen Ohlausen, on Wednesday released a statement reaffirming the
agency's decision not to prosecute Google over its search practices, and
insisting it was in line with the recommendations of the FTC's staff.
The statement refutes "recent press reports" suggesting Google got
special treatment due to its political influence.

Google Glass Should Stay Gone
Here we go again. Most everyone who thought Google Glass crossed the
privacy line was happy when it appeared the new technology was being
shelved. Not so fast. Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt says Google is not
giving up on Glass. Like everyone else, I love new technology. However
sometimes companies and their tech staff cross over the line and don't
see it the way the rest of the world sees it.

Time's Up for Legacy ERP
It takes prodigious amounts of cash to launch a company these days and
that's especially true when trying to insert a new idea like cloud ERP
into the collective consciousness. FinancialForce today announced a
financing round of $110 million from lead investor Technology Crossover
Ventures, and Salesforce Ventures, which is Salesforce's corporate
investment group.
