Most of the people who post on this site are Apple people. We all understand what the commercial is about. I wonder how many non technical people will get the concept?

I had a similar concern. I'm worried less about the technical aspect and more about how quickly things are happening though. I doubt someone who doesn't know about iCloud and is only half paying attention to the commercial is going to get it (at least not immediately).
 
I apparently haven't had the problems others have had with iTunes Match.
Mine randomly signs out every once in a while on my Mac, but that's about it. Everything else has worked fine for me.

I wish there were more options when icloud syncs photos to my Mac. I do most of my photography with an slr and I already do most of my library managent with Lightroom.

I am thinking the commercial is less of a product feature commercial and more of a, "You don't see it, however, it gets stuck in your head" kind of commercial. I think much of what the commercial is designed to do is associate Apple with pretty girls and happy music. There is nothing wrong with that kind of advertising.

Hmm. Since when does taking pictures at a beach instantly upload to the photostream? Is there wifi on the beaches?
 
Great Commercial

Great commercial, absolutely the best. I wish my iCloud actually synced Safari bookmarks instead of choking and my iCloud mail actually worked instead of popping up a password request repeatedly.
 
The only reason Apple products sell better than Android products is, Apple has better commercials. That and the fact that Apple makes better stuff. If Apple were to have bad marketing and make useless junk, Google would win.

It's not fair, we should pass a law making Apple have bad commercials and sell bad products. "Use the iPhone, because it now smells like a rabid skunk!"

Do rabid skunks smell worse than regular skunks?
 
iTunes Match really isn't a part of iCloud because it doesn't use your iCloud storage and doesn't sync anything really.

I suppose.

But Apple really likes to push the idea of your music everywhere. And iTunes Match just doesn't deliver yet.

And if you look at the environments and products they use, they're coming straight out of a Mac user's cliché, e.g. fixed gear bicycle leaning against the walls of a loft, Bialetti Moka pot, Artemide Tizio, Eames plastic chair, Tivoli Model One etc. :D
 
re original article

i am so gald this had nothing to do with e-harmony

ok - so you had to be there...
 
So, there's WiFi at the beach for those photos to be uploading into Photo Stream? :p

It is a huge part of iCloud. Why do you think there are cloud icons all over iTunes? Match uploads all your music to the cloud or matches it to music on the cloud already. Then it lets you download music from the cloud to any device and syncs all your iCloud iTunes music to all synced devices.
 
Also, nice to know Kate Havnevik has a new album out...
