Jobs address

There are confirmed reports of responses from steve jobs' email address.

True. I got one a few years ago, on an Apple business strategy matter Given the volume I wouldn't like to have the job of going through all that email and figuring out which really a) needs a response and, b) needs a response from Jobs.

On that subject, note that Jobs is consistently rated as the best CEO in business magazines, and the market gets very nervous about the succession problem every time he shows up looking gaunt.

He has a reputation of being very firm, but not tyrannical; I doubt anyone will get fired over this, but you can bet he's said about Me, in his best terror-inspiring voice, "Get this fixed. Now."
 
I can now sign in to my account using the preference pane and I can use the iDisk.... shows a total of 20 GB available... and it is fast ! The iDisk icon in the Finder is a little girlish for my taste but hey
 
i will gladly apologize if my sources are wrong - they do not directly work for the mobileme department.. They are not lies.. Just sharing the information I have - isn't that what this site is for?

Correct... Don't worry about the crazed people in this thread. You are perfectly sane, people are just cranky today. =)

wy does my prefs say .mac not me

Because the software update is not prompted until you have logged in once to the web based mobile me service. I did last night on my iMac, but my Blackbook still reads .mac, even though it just synced.
 
Awww, System Prefs is only showing 50 MB (note, I have the trial and in the webapp, it said 20 GB)...and I was hopeful :(...

Then again, it might just be cause it says iDisk is down (from the pane).

I am seeing 10GB

Trying to get sync working, tried calendar again and no luck. Trying contacts next.
 
Push isn't working for me on my iPhone.

And does anyone know if we're supposed to get Push in Mail.app? Or will we still be stuck with fetch? Push would rock.

Push for Mail.app was shown in the demo video. So I would assume that Push will work with Mail.app, just like it should with iCal.
