Apple
Yesterday was a pretty big day for Apple. First there was the launch of iCloud, Apple's new sync service that promises to be much better than its predecessor, and even comes with a few web apps of its own. For many MobileMe subscribers, the transition yesterday wasn't so much "smooth" as it was "unavailable" due to impressive load on Apple servers, but those who did manage to make a connection were greeted with some new features. Now that iCloud is available to all, though, Macworld has the getting started guide you need.
No doubt some of that load on Apple servers was due to the launch of iOS 5 for a pretty large percentage of those 250 million iOS devices out in the wild — and with all those Apple fans upgrading at once, something wrong was going to happen sooner of later. Tales of woe and error 3200 flooded the internet, but amidst all the chaos Ars Technica published a single story: notifications, iMessages, and iCloud, oh my!
Matt Mullenweg has a bit of a gander at what's next for Apple now that iOS 5 and iCloud are both out the door. Are they working on the next version of iOS? Is the next version of OS X that much further away, or are Apple going to try and improve some stuff they already have?
Scott Forstall was profiled by Business Week, and his story is a pretty good one.
