I just see it as them being like every other online service provider.

This is a major flaw with these things, and not just for apple. There are so many unmentioned spotify outages.
Got a tip for us?

Pretty Green Squares!
Will be interesting to see how fast and accurate those squares change during actual user difficulties and down time!

Yes, Apple may have to change its slogan to "it just (maybe) works".
I'm sure this website's existence would make Jobs turn over in his grave. It has Tim Cook (openness, transparency) written all over it. Which I suppose is an overall good thing at the end of the day.
Is iCloud going anywhere? It doesn't seem to have a lot of adoption, though maybe I'm not using the right apps. Bento, for example, doesn't even use iCloud. Is iCloud going to die, like Ping and many other Apple failed attempts?
Glad to see the more detailed view, although despite the nice green circle, I have been unable to access my email for the last 48hours through iCloud, Mac Mail or my iPhone. Been escalated twice now, hoping for a solution as I know not what lies in wait for me in my inbox.....
I still can't access it, mine has been down all day (whether thru Mail on my mac, the iCloud website, or any of my iOS devices). All of my other iCloud features are working.
And here I was thinking about switching from Gmail to iCloud for email... Gmail has NEVER been down (for me).
How about they spend some more time and effort to keeping the services from going down so frequently?
You know, instead of notifying us in a fancy way when they DO go down every other day.

MUCH better. A good start. Seems Apple is getting better at cloud...or at least acknowledging that success in cloud is not 100% uptime, but communicating early and frequently with those whom use their services.

I agree. If it shows they suck at cloud, they will be forced to deal with it. I'd be happy using the iCloud stuff more if they were more transparent about when they screw up.
----------
Well, 99.9% makes for notable and significant downtime. There are 525,600 minutes in a year. With 99.9%, that means we'd have an average of 525.6 minutes (8.76 hours) of downtime per year. For those of us that depend on the service, that's significant.
----------
According to Apple, iCloud has 190 million users. It has adoption. Both the late Steve Jobs and Tim Cook have both stated iCloud is their strategy for the next decade. It's not going anywhere.

The idea of the cloud is that is supposed to have 99.9% uptime, why is this needed.

Ahh, it's fixed. Apparently they're having some kind of bug where you have to change your password to fix it. I did and it works now.
It's great for knowing exactly when "it just works".
edit: yeah, I thought I was being all clever and funny and stuff. Then I scrolled up and saw that about 15 other people had about the same joke.
DAMN YOU ALL!
I hope somebody will post a screenshot when one of the services isn't available. I'm color blind and want to check that I can tell the statuses by shape.
Q, any way using HTML color code value as a display to indicate color of text?
Red = #FF0000
Lime = #00FF00
Just a random thought...

Look at the top. I think it displays as a warning triangle when they're having issues, not a red light.
I will let you go back a few days as it is. I bet it will go back farther when the page has had more time to fill out though.
That's what I assume, but I'd like to confirm it. Too bad their services have been up and running today so we can't find out!
