Something like http://sandstorm.io/? Not mine, but it looks pretty cool.

Out of curiousity, do you have a link to the study or a writeup? I'd love to read it.
The prices you show go out to tiny fractions of a cent (>6 decimal places). I don't think that's going to make a difference in someone's decision, and trimming to just showing the cents will make the prices look more consistent.

EDIT: I should mention that this site was useful -- I learned about backup providers that might fit me well that I otherwise wouldn't have known about.

Re:Joel Spolsky Launches Trello - Organize Anything Together on Tuesday September 13, 2011 @07:08PM (#2993998)
I've been trying to find software that fits how I use index cards as a to-do system. This is perfect!

The only thing that would make it perfect-er is an Android app. :-)

Re:Someone patented linked lists on Thursday August 11, 2011 @04:23PM (#2874596)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a doubly-linked list be covered by this patent? If I understand the claims correctly, the backwards traversal would fall under claim 1.[1] It definitely provides a second sequence to traverse said list, even if it's stretching 'following' a little bit.

[1] The relevant part of claim 1 is:

  said auxiliary pointer being adapted to direct said 
  computer program to a second following item and defining
  a second sequence to traverse said list.
From everything I've been able to read[1], this bill requires ISPs to track IPs that they've assigned to users, but does not require storage of all Internet traffic. This hardly seems like it would "kill Internet privacy for good."
