Another thing that they aren't taking into account over S3 is power costs, physical datacenter rent costs, and bandwith hookup. Still its probably a lot cheaper but important to note that they are comparing apples and apple cider.

On their graph it says they subtracted data center costs from the price of S3.

what does s3 charge for transfer? $0.10 per gigabyte? I bet that covers much of the data center costs.
