quick and dirty
 
Just think if we spent all the time we have been here refreshing our screens, and actually put our time into helping people we could save the world.

How many times have you clicked software update today. I think I am over 200 times. I have serious Apple OCD.
 
don't get it - is that a joke? when i said been through it's more like i fled like a little coward but came back to a pretty bad situation

I believe you will find that a joke - more of a rhetorical question.

I once worked for someone who could not appreciate the true beauty of a rainbow because he totally understood the physics behind it. Sad...

Is there a medical condition called clicker's wrist? if so.. i think i may have it.
 
I can see the shady laywer adds on late night tv.

"were you affected by the botched mobile me launch, if so you may be entitled to damages for mental anguish and carpal click syndrome. Call 1-800-MEFAILS"
 
we'd better put a lid on this right away before a bunch of Americans try to sue apple for carpal click syndrome. hehehe

I always thought that the rational thing would be for every corporation to sue Americans for stupidity.

I once saw a sign in the US on a window that said "Open windows can be dangerous".

Fail...
 
Look at rim and their push services. They go down all the time and cut people off from all email for hours or days.
Prior to the 11 hour outage in April 2007, RIMM had 8 straight months of 100% uptime.

Since April 2007, there has been a total of 3 hours outage. That's 3 hours out of around 10000 which equates to 99.97% uptime. I wouldn't call that 'going down all the time'.

Now work out the uptime for MobileMe! :p
 
new flash update

my 4 reliable apple insider sources all confirm that mobileme will be down until 8am EST tomorrow morning.. Today was basically just a test to make sure everything worked and it passed - only 10% of the servers went online today just to make sure everything was working properly which explains the slow service while us apple losers where all attacking it at once..

Open windows can be natural selection. hehe
 
Reading about those RIM outages brought up a thought. People criticized RIM during the outages because it took them 3 hours to acknowledge the outage. In the end of all this, AT&T offered prorated credit for business users if you called in and complained... The outage lasted 12 hours.

Even though RIM's outages affected a lot of business, which is much more severe than what we are dealing with, Mobile Me has been down for nearly twice that long, yet not even a word from Apple other than a red light in the status indicator.
