Apple unveils iCloud to cover device storage

First came the iPod followed by the iPhone and then the iPad - now, the umbrella tool to service them all... the iCloud.
 
Apple's CEO Steve Jobs briefly returned to work from medical leave to unveil his newest baby: a remote online data storage and sharing service for the Apple platform.

But its a convenience that's also raising some eyebrows over security concerns.

Lot of B.S. from Apple.

So far I've brought about 60 songs from itunes and only about half of them show up "automatically" in lCoud. Some purchased songs from i-tune (notiably Mantovani Orchestra) showed up for about one week, and then disappeared misteriously, never to be seen again in the Cloud.

SO, I still advise everybody to BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP the old fashion way on your portable hard drive once you brought the songs form i-Tune.

Basically, Icloud is a wire less storage service. To me, it is not really a break through technology!

@CefiroGuy3 I am going to keep using Ubuntu which is more awesome than the Windows 7 that came with my laptop and probably will not be switching to Google Chrome OS, iCloud or Jolicloud or any other cloud service.

Cloud computing is just storing files on a different computer connected to the internet.

@7llllllllll Exactly my point!

Al-Jazeera, by leaking the absurd concessions being made by the PA to the Israelis, made it known to the world that the PA was a puppet of Israel. As it was ALWAYS a puppet of Israel, that was no surprise. However, their intoleratble land concessions made them loose virtually all support. Hence, Hamas was AGAIN recognized as the only reasonable Party, and a Unity government was formed to the dismay of Israel. Thus, AJ has proven not 2 be run by Zionists or Israel.
