Re: Apple

Pushing some stuff to the cloud does make sense, it's only truly dumb when users don't know the risks- unreliable or offline access, hosting companies that may not be around long term, security, etc.

If users can live with and have the same expectations for cloud access as webmail, then it should largely be a positive experience.

I think the real problem is that it's being pushed as The Next Big Thing. "Do everything with cloud computing! It's safe and Super Effective!" Nobody who's invested in its success is being honest and up-front about its limitations and risks, and those of us who are aren't being heard very well.
