"Prices are effective April 1, 2014". Unfortunate date for such unbelievable price drops.

  I think that's a standard Google thing. They announced Gmail (and the then insane 1GB free storage) on 1 April too.

  Unfortunate? Gmail caught on pretty well...

  Exactly 10 years from when Gmail was launched to the public, with its massive 1 GB of storage.

  April 1st also happens to be the start of Q2. I think it's kind of nifty that Google is unwilling to let a non-vacation holiday only celebrated by a handful of countries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools'_Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools'_Day) disrupt its product planning. (It's also shrewd business, if its competitors have "Start of Q2" stuff they'd like to announce that they put off until April 2nd).
