.Mac updates coming tomorrow morning?

When I turned on my Mac this morning it said that synching would change more than 5% of my ical entries. As it turns out it changed (although not in a way I understand) 44 entries.

If you look at this video from D5:

Steve mentions "backend internet services," possibly hinting at a .Mac refresh, or even a total overhaul.

I can't figure out why i bought .Mac to begin with. email accounts ending in .Mac should be free with your computer and then you should be able to spend some cash if you want to upgrade your account.

I still use .mac and find it indispensable for a home-business I have created. I wish it would add filemaker database hosting, I think that is a no brainer and would greatly improve the utility of it as a solution. Really FMP and dot mac, together with ilife and desktop apps could create an incredible web publishing platform. I would really like to see that sort of evolution.

.MAC should go the way of e-world. In fact, e-world was much better. .MAC is an under performing Apple service, unless, of course you want to sync, your Safari bookmarks. Yippee!

well it'd be hard for Apple to make .Mac any worse, but one can dream... (I should probably backup my old homepage.mac content tonight huh?)

Eli -

Jesus... give it a rest dude. Everyone makes mistakes. David's entitled to some as well. Do all of your comments have to be invectives against him?

I haven't used .mac since they announced it wasn't free anymore. I miss it. But I'm not going back until it's free, or at least until they have "scaling" service levels, such as "free", "extended" and "pro".

Basically it's the sync stuff that I can't live without. Syncing iCal and Address Book across multiple computers (I have 3 plus iPhone) seems like, in this day and age, should be a standard and free service. I love iCal but I can't really use it unless the info is synced across all my machines.

Sync with Google Cal would be swell too!

"It's the .Mac-only Dashboard widgets!" LOL! I nearly spit out my water. I harped about those things a while back but forgot about them since then.

Personally, I'm not that excited for new iMacs because I'm happy as a camper with the current models. For me, software announcements would be much more interesting - iLife '07/08 and .Mac FTW!

It's the .mac only dashboard widgets!
