>So, which was it for Apple and MobileMe: malice or incompetence? Definitely incompetence. Apple has perennially staffed this part of their operation with dim bulbs. I think management forgot that and suddenly expected that group to act more like the rest of Apple. Hence the pratfall.
As cloud computing grows in importance I don't think Apple can afford to leave this part of their operation so poorly run. I hope that after Jobs issued his apology he made a note to pay more attention to this. (I think Jobs loves hardware a lot more than he loves software.) ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
