  Earlier this month, Microsoft made some changes to Live Mesh , including very low level support for P2P (peer to peer) folder sharing. The problem was (at the time) that you couldn’t configure this explicitly in the UI. So if you wanted to exclude the...

• MobileMe photo upload finally fixed on Windows

  I check almost every single day to see whether it’s finally possible for Windows users to upload photos to MobileMe using a Web browser. It’s never worked right. But as of today, it actually works. To be a bit more clear, it “sort of worked” before in... Posted Jul 29 2008, 04:26 AM by pthurrott with | with 8 comment(s) Filed under: iPhone, Apple, XP, Alt.

• You know MobileMe is a piece of junk when ... (Updated)

• MobileMe launch delayed ... Where's the outrage?

  Apple shut down its .Mac service yesterday to launch MobileMe and then ... ran into problems. As of today, MobileMe is still not available, and of course .Mac is down as well . So I have to wonder. Where's Ina Fried's scathing blog attack on Apple... Posted Jul 10 2008, 12:39 PM by pthurrott with | with 72 comment(s) Filed under: Apple, Mobile, Cloud computing, Vista, Commentary

  Apple’s MobileMe isn’t just a warmed over PC- and iPhone-compatible version of .Mac. It’s important for two reasons: Apple is jumping headfirst into the cloud computing market. (And confounding pundits who predicted they’d partner with Google.) Apple...

• Is Microsoft serious about gadgets?

  LiveSide's Donavon West asks what I think is a valid question (though to be fair, he is the CTO of LiveGadgets.net , so he certainly has a personal stake in this discussion as well): Has Microsoft all but given up on it's gadget platforms?
