A developer would be better off building it for themselves, and selling subscriptions for $50/year. I hate being the nay-sayer.

Make it free, that's all it'll take for me. I mean every other similar service is free. I'd never pay for it no matter what the features. I know how to make a better .mac.

There is one very important feature that is coming to .Mac very soon. Back to My Mac Using .Mac, you will have a dynamic DNS connection to all your computers at home. There are bound to be other features that will make .Mac a worthwhile service, and it's about time. As for this story... I would have to say that it's about 8 months old. Now, I know, there are people out there that hadn't heard about it, but come on guys. Your an Apple blog and this is the first you guys have heard about it? Has the site changed hands recently? You guys had been pretty good, but lately, I'm just not sure... Shame really. Did no one here see the WWDC Keynote? There is one very important feature that is coming to .Mac very soon.

Syncing is useless if it's going to cost users more than the already-steep 129$/year to get enough storage to actually hold anything of importance. My solution is simple - more storage space.

I tell you what makes me nervous about .Mac, the iPhone seems to prefer Yahoo! Mail. What does that mean for .Mac users? Should we switch to get the most out of the iPhone? Is Apple leaving .Mac behind? Great idea. I tell you what makes me nervous about .Mac, the iPhone seems to prefer Yahoo! Mail. What does that mean for .Mac users?
