BTW: with iCloud, Apple moves the goalposts again. Cross-device multi-app data syncing made trivial, including music - and that much faster & pervasive than anything Amazon or Google can score. Google's apps are the closest competition. Microsoft is in the dust now.

Have always loved Androids notification system and quite pleased Apple integrated their own look-a-like. Nothing wrong with taking good ideas from the scene and implementing it their own way. I suspect Google Music will have a bit of catchup to make up for with the iTunes Match.

No more tethering. iOS devices need not exist as a device tethered to a computer. The “iPad for Grandma” has arrived.

Photo Stream: take a picture, connect to WiFi, transfers new photos/videos to all your devices (include ATV2).

All your personal information being out there means someone can get it. Like the government...

Moreover, what happens if a virus hits the cloud? It’s done...

The entire concept of the cloud, in essence, puts your data in someone else’s hands. No thanks - I see it as an electronic safe deposit box, without the safety.

I must admit, the iCloud is a great idea.

Yes indeed.


Built with SUSE Studio

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

If Apple really wanted to do something innovative and constructive.

They would build their computers in America.

Not China.

Seems they charge enough to cover the wage differential. Just saying...
