All day has been a mess regarding my . e-mail account. As most of the population will know, we are approaching the launch of the 3G rapidly. The via iTunes is online (and is looking very nice, very nice indeed) and iTunes has been updated and the update was available here as well.
However, the address www.mac.com has been unreachable since this morning, thus making it impossible to check any e-mail via a web browser. It was supposed to last six hours, but here there is nothing in working order… The new address doesnt work either (http://www.me.com). It is just showing the feature page at regarding the package.
So currently Mail seems to be retrieving all mails on the server, Growl is misbehaving after the install of (which by the way still is not available in Update).
The preference pane is not working:

Not very -like to put their customers in this position…

UPDATE: me.com seems to be responding albeit slowly… Hopefully will have it sorted quickly. The massive impact of the millions of iPhones coming online tomorrow has not kicked in yet…

The keynote of WWDC on 9 June is approaching rapidly and Steve will be doing it himself. This indicates that more than just standard news will be announced.

As for the , we are seeing announcements from several providers that they are going to offer the is this and that and these countries “some time this year”. Whether or not this will be a 3G version, with or without GPS etc. is still unclear. This will undoubtedly be much clearer after Steve’s keynote on the 9th.

As no news have been announced regarding , I fear that won’t have an “official” provider in the near future… All the neighbouring countries (Germany (O2), France (Orange) and Belgium (Mobistar as part of Orange) have or will have it this year. It doesn’t make sense that is not included this time around. Are LuxGSM, Vox and Tango to cheese-paring to pay the price asked by ?

Above the title of John Gruber’s take on another stupid article…here:

Final words from Gruber:

Or, as Albert Einstein actually did put it, “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”

Very good and rather sad to read. How can serious journalists put together such crap?
