GMail: Pay For Increased Storage

Today I noticed that Google have started offering additional storage on GMail - clearly welcome for my predicament, but I was rather surprised that they wanted money for it. Isn't Google free?

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I have to wonder what the hell they're doing that they're hitting the 2gb+ storage limit in GMail. GMail isn't really supposed to be the substitute for your personal hard drive, really... I mean sure it's convenient to have access to your files from anywhere, but... that's sort of ridiculous.
