Blaa, blaa. Name a service that doesn't occasionally falter or a piece of equipment that doesn't break.
But Apple's services do not occasionally suffer problems, they regularly suffer problems. That's why people get annoyed.

Go buy a Windows PC and see how many times a week you run into serious problems of all sorts.
Welcome to the cloud.
I find it increasingly difficult to understand the lack of tolerance for Apple.
Asclepio: why apple always sucked on online services?
Snowshiro: You'd think with over $100 billion in the bank they could afford
to hire someone who knows how to run an online service.
Youve never heard of iTunes? That free application that revolutionized the music industry?
Sure it sucks when something doesnt work. Ask the guy who drives a $70,000+ car if hes upset when something breaks. The Internet is a machine. It is going to break from time-to-time. Thats life.
Im old enough to know what MTBF really means and experienced my share of drive failures. Users under the age of 35 have no real appreciation for how incredibly reliable electronics have become over the past two decades. Sure stuff is supposed to work 100% of the time. Thats the goal, but lets cut the snotty and baseless remarks. We dont know what the source of the problem is. It could be a squirrel that ate through a cable, or a cyber attack. If Mr. Smartypants Snowshiro is so smart, why isn't he working for Apple? Clearly he knows enough to have prevented the problem.

For those of you who live in an error free life, I'd love to know what brand of car you drive, television you watch, appliances you use, etc. If you cant cope with this bump in the road, I certainly dont want to be anywhere near you when real trouble strikes.
.mac sucked.
mobileme sucked
icloud isn't much of an improvement
Seems like plain old incompetence to me. This is a regular occurrence so clearly something is not right.

If people have any sense at all, they wont have anything important on iCloud, even as an email address, you'd be crazy to use it. The same goes for all the free services out there though really. I'm not personally affected (altho it is a bit annoying I cant get into Find my Friends, but I'll survive) as I avoid Apple's online services at all cost, for obvious reasons. I cant however avoid using things like iTunes and iTunes connect as an app developer.If you can’t cope with this bump in the road, I certainly don’t want to be anywhere near you when real trouble strikes.

Half of you wouldn't even have known about it until you read it on here and even less will be affected. All working fine on my devices.
Take a chill-pill folks or even better, get a life...

The PowerPC running the login server overheated again?
We know that no one else ever ever has issues. Just Apple. That's why there are no major flood of news stories about gmail etc" They never go down.
These problems have been occurring more often in recent months
Apple is the worst company to be with at this point. They were known for computers not cloud. Good thing I didn't purchase additional space for cloud.
Have they? Or has there been nothing else to write about since Apple is reconfiguring their release schedules so its getting more press.
And if it is, can we say for fact that it is an issue with the systems, the software etc and not an outside issue like the connections to the servers having failures or hackers trying to DoS the systems cause they know it will get press and make Apple look bad.
