Apple’s me.com— FLAKY AND UNRELIABLE

Judging by all the gripes one sees online, Apple pushed the me.com launch out to make the iPhone date, with bug fixes to come later. My own usage has been frustrating enough. I’ve used mac.com for years for large password-protected downloads. This never failed. Now with me.com, the password protection facility is broken. Maybe Apple should rename the “service” to meaculpa.com. And today, Apple’s discussion forum servers were so overloaded that trying to post a message resulted in time-outs and failures multiple times.
