So what? It will be fixed pretty soon anyway. Apple is not a company that would have its services down for days.
this fantasy that stuff built 50 years ago was made better than today, is just a fantasy.
making stuff was more expensive and you had all kinds of repair shops because people fixed their things. today people just buy new. its cheaper and you get a newer product with more/better features
Point taken. Though extremely depressing. Buy, Replace, Replace, Replace.
Apple is doing it right IMO. I've got a G5 Tower for late 2004 that my Dad is still using today. Yeah he only uses it for email and the internet, but the fact that is has not had a single hick-up in almost 8 years? Those are the products I am going to buy. Not going to spend less, and repeat that cycle till you've exceeded the cost of a high quality product.
Lack of Reliability is the downside of "the cloud". If you can't get your files, your screwed. Mind you, so far, iCloud has been OK.
being without electricity or water for a couple of days is a problem. Not being able to stream call me maybe from your icloud account for a couple of hours? Not so much.
Where do you live? I live in Seattle and it hasn't been working at allNo problems for me in Washington State and I've been online all day.
Welcome to the world of Cloud computing when access to your data is in the hand of someone else and stored somewhere else.
You just know sooner of later it's all going to go pear shaped.
The difference is, when it goes wrong, BOY will it go wrong.
Nothing like a minor (temporary) service interruption to bring out the Applehaters; conspiracy theorists; neo-Luddites; and cranks.

exactly.. http://www.amishrakefight.org/gfy/ we´ll fix this later![]()
Honestly it really should just remind people how trivial everything we do really is. I guarantee 99.9999% of people don't have files that are at all critical. who's life was in the balance due not getting to iCloud? what company just went out of business because they couldn't access a spreadsheet at that exact moment?
