I've looked and looked at Apple's information about iCloud, and no where have I seen any of these features mentioned. iCloud is simply a personal, lightweight backup/sync solution for users. It's not meant to be an enterprise level doc sharing interface. Considering that there were very few solutions available that do what iCloud does before it was introduced, I'd call it a pretty amazing product. There are plenty of enterprise level backup solutions that have the features mentioned in the article. Why would Apple even bother messing with that? What they did makes perfect sense, and it's the perfect product for what it's intended for. Let's also not forget that it's brand new. Features can ALWAYS be added.

I'd mod this up if I could. A single bad decision can make or break a company. If Jobs didn't really have any contributions, then how come his return to Apple coincided with their comimg back from the brink of bankruptcy? Regardless of what you think of the man, without him, the state of our technology wouldn't be where it is today. That's the contributions of a single man.

Open Source

Submission + - Is Twitter screwing over open-source developers?

An anonymous reader writes: A developer of a small open-source Twitter client has posted a vicious critique of Twitter's new OAuth authentication scheme, alleging that they are making life difficult for small and open-source developers, while applying double standards to themselves and their large corporate partners. He even describes a back-door in Twitter's API that allows Twitter's own applications to bypass the requirements Twitter places on other developers. Have other open-source Twitter developers had similar problems, or is he just venting because he doesn't want to follow Twitter's rules?

Submission + - NASA looks at railgun-like rocket launcher (networkworld.com)

coondoggie writes: NASA is looking hard at a way to blast spacecraft horizontally down an electrified track or gas-powered sled and into space hitting speeds of about Mach 10. The craft would then return and land on a runway by the launch site.

If you've ever used photoshop, you would understand what it takes just to get to that part. Ever try removing a tree from an image in PS? Then have the sky look natural? That's almost impossible for the average user, and probably at least an hour (or more) of work from someone who knows what they are doing. Fixing the mistakes at that point is easy. This is could possibly be one of the most revolutionary tools in photoshop since the clone stamp.
