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 that it would work on only one supported browser...

FY09 Strategic Update

Only Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer could send such an important message out and give it a subject line that boring. But you'll want to read this one. I've highlighted some bits I feel are particularly interesting. From: Steve Ballmer Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 4:30 PM To: Microsoft–All Employees...

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

This one reads like a Jeff Foxworthy (of "you know you're a redneck when..." fame) joke. As in, you know MobileMe is a piece of @#$% when even Walter Mossberg, the world's most prominent support of Apple products, can't find anything good to say about it . I look back, smiling,...

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 about this? After all, she went after Microsoft...

Apple MobileMe ... PC vs. Mac

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 providing a consumer-friendly Exchange-like service...

Questions and comments about Firefox 3, IE 8, the future of Web browsers, cloud computing, and how it all comes together

So it's always amusing to me when the mainstream press tries to cover tech products, but I was particularly interested in this one since I'm in the middle of writing my own Firefox 3 review. I think that terms like "innovative" are thrown around too casually these days, and while I...
