MobileMe Finally Online?

[Disorganized]

No ****. We kill it every time because we're ****ing fiends.

It's true. I guarantee you that's why it keeps bombing.

No ****. We kill it every time because we're ****ing fiends.

There's only 700 people viewing this particular forum. I doubt that little amount of traffic could crash the servers

 

[floatingspirit]

Oh man this is really funny...do they have webcams into the offices at Apple? It must be like UFC in there....people throwing Xserves at each other.

LOL

Dude, I'd pay to see that.

It probably would have been up hours ago if their servers weren't inundated every time they flipped the switch.

If it can't handle the viewers, then why would they put it up in the 1st place?

Well, unless they are hosting the site in Steve's garage then they should have load balancing and enough bandwidth for a few hardcore nerds checking their email.

And if that is the case, then maybe we should get Arn to Apple headquarters to show them how to set up a webpage.

 

[gonnabuyamac]

steve ballmer is hidden behind the apple server cabinets flipping the switch every time they get it up and running. rather than innovating, he's resorted to sabatoge.

 

[deanshamrock]

Maybe they're using Comcast to host the servers?

Now that is good stuff!!!

 

[marcelomarfil]

This is SO frustrating. I am hating the Apple. Why Google didn't take over of this?

S******t!

 

[Spades]

It probably would have been up hours ago if their servers weren't inundated every time they flipped the switch.

If it's not ready for the load, it's not ready for production.

During the brief period I was in I tried changing http to https and ended up getting an akamai certificate (which naturally mismatched the domain), so it's probably hosted on akamai like just about everything else from Apple. Load is almost certainly not the problem.

 

[NJPitcher]

Hah, Steve's probably wasted right now - all of the techies are struggling to get things going, and drunk Steve keeps walking in and trying to give keynotes using various xserves as prototype iphones.

At least, I think that would be acceptable.

 

[phenixbleu]

excited servers

Maybe they're using Comcast to host the servers?

lol. I guess their servers have never been this excited, and push is probably an over pusher.lol

 

[Warbrain]

And for half of the planet to have the new iPhone available.

 

[MoreBS]

MobileMe would work great...

...if there weren't any users.

YAY! APPLE!

GOod job. Yay.

 

[Disorganized]

Oh yeah, because I'm sure the server load overnight is so massive....

Never underestimate the world's raving lunatic mac fanatics ability to nail a site's bandwidth.

Haha....with steve imitating modem noises into a phone to try to get a stable connection.....PSHHTHTTT BING BONG PSHTTTTT

 

[geerlingguy]

This is actually getting quite aggravating; I've been having trouble with sending mail through Mail with my .Mac account, and I can't get in through MobileMe either. So I'm pretty much screwed on that side. Luckily I have a utility gmail account I can try out for a while. C'mon , get your act together!

Mac vs. PC

Dudes,

PC is gonna have a field day with this!

LOL

I'll just go watch some getamac adds to entertain myself while i wait...

 

[sh4ners]

I just set up two, one with my initials, one with my first name.

Received "Sign Up Complete" page.

Received email confirmation for both.

However, can't log in.

Anyone experience this? Or do most of you have converted/flipped .mac accounts?

yeah i got it too. but i got mail at email and me mail as well. so i hope it passes. :|

 

[Jimmieboy]

Okay, this is just annoying. Haven't been able to get emails for a day! GAH!

 

[Disorganized]

Hah, Steve's probably wasted right now - all of the techies are struggling to get things going, and drunk Steve keeps walking in and trying to give keynotes using various xserves as prototype iphones.

Either that or his office walls are covered in blood right now.

HAHA ohhhh you made my night.

 

[AC Rempt]

MobileMe isn't up. That's fine.

But .Mac has now been down for a day. That's a big problem. By now they should have rolled back so we could still at least use .Mac. There's no reason .Mac couldn't be up while they're fixing MobileMe.

I have to think there is. Aren't they migrating certain services, like iDisks and the like? Certainly that takes some cooperation between .mac and the other (I hate that me.com name!).

Either way, me.com (barf) is going down like a $5 hooker. They need to get that puppy stable.

 

[kknupp]

Maybe they're using Comcast to host the servers?

If so then it should me faster for me since I have comcast.

 

[TheKrillr]

If it can't handle the viewers, then why would they put it up in the 1st place?

Actually, my theory is that they're throwing it open and shutting it down on purpose -- they probably found some kinks in their framework which is best tested for and fixed by using real-time traffic to pummel the bugs into the open.

They're probably fixing a bug, throwing the switch, gathering log and error data, then shutting down to analyze.
