Who writes this slop?

>>but those companies who claim they are perfect, deny they do anything wrong and have a team of quasi-religious loonies believing in it, 

Apple never claims to be perfect and they do own up to being wrong. Look at the $100 rebate they gave people who bought $599 iPhones when they dropped the price to $399.

Also, it is not the company's fault that a cult of "quasi-religious loonies" has formed.

This so-called story is garbage.

mobileme actually works very well. I am not sure what's all the negative hype is about? they could have launched it better, no doubt and apparently some users could not access email for a while - that is not good but the service as it stands today is pretty great. I get the benefits of wireless synced calender and contacts for $100 a year plus other services - which I use. As a solo consultant its like having an IT department running a full backoffice suite of services for me.That is a great deal for any small business. I love it. Its nothing like Bob.

Wow, you get paid to write drivel like this? Where can I get a job being a 'sky is falling' loser?

You guys just managed to simultaneously bash an Apple product and NOT find a way to twist the article around to make Microsoft look even worse. I'm shocked. Good work, guys!

I'm surprised that there's no pun-reference to 'Humble Apple Pie' or some other connotation of eating (or being force-fed) some version of Humble Apple Baked-Good...?

Good to see that even Apple can bring out a Microsoft Bob from time to time ;-)
