iCloud




Apple Inc announced that it will be having a free digital hub called iCloud (non Apple fans please pardon this stupid name) which lets users to store pictures, music etc. on the internet and gain access to them on different devices.

CEO Steve Jobs, who looks certain to be on his way to paradise for real this time, unveiled the latest innovation of his company at the World Developers Conference at San Francisco Moscone Center on Monday (America time).

Jobs was quoted saying "some people think the cloud is just a hard disk in the sky". He later added "we think it's way more than that, and we call it iCloud".

Omg, that's so interesting, I am trying really hard to laugh at this but just can't do it. It's either I got influenced by the expressionless Yam Ah Mee or the joke only sounds funny to the worshippers of Apple products.

Anyway, I don't find this to be a very great thing in the IT industry. A user would need to have internet access before he can use the iCloud.
Moreover, if bandwidth is low, the user might end up frustrated or in the worse case scenario, the user gets disconnected in the midst of downloading.

No wonder it's free of charge.
