trusting “the cloud”
August 12th, 2008
i keep going back and forth about keeping my data “in the cloud“… i have been using gmail A LOT over the last months/years. it has become the way i frequently communicate with family, friends and clients.
here is the rub - in it’s “proper” format it is only available while you are online so if your internet is down, if google goes down (hey, it happened again last night for a couple of hours) or something gets “wonky”.
i have been keeping backups and files online with mozy and dropbox.com. if either of these services was unavailable for an extended period of time when i needed them - i would be up a creek!
do you trust “the cloud”? check out this article too from lifehacker and let us know what you think…
mobileme
August 5th, 2008
apple has officially announced they screwed up with the mobileme launch. Esentially, apple (Steve Jobs) said that they should have staggered the launch of the iPhone 3G, iPhone 2.0 and MobileMe to protect the kludge that they had in the last weeks.
Better late than never…
