BANGALORE, INDIA: Amazon S3 holds more than 449 billion objects, writes Amazon cloud evangelist Jeff Barr in a blog post. This is equal to 1,440 objects for every resident of the United States, 64 objects for each person on Planet Earth, 4 objects for every neuron in your brain and about as many S3 objects as there are stars in the Milky Way.
