Rejoice faithful Mac brethren as Apple is in the process of stashing even more money away by screwing its customers.

For some in here, it's what's good for a tax dodging corporation and f&ck the consumer.

And it's no coincidence that the ones that advocate for Apple, have no lives to speak of.

" It's good business for Apple, of course. After all, in the event it can get 300 million users to pony up even $20 per year then the company stands to trouser a rather pleasing $6 billion.

What's less ethical is that as the integration between its solutions and iCloud increases, it seems clear most users will eventually find themselves requiring more data than their allowance provides simply in order to use the profound new features Apple is introducing."

Nice spin by you and the author of the article.

The deal was for 1 year of that extra 20Gb for those of us that had MobileMe when Apple transitioned to iCloud. But we ended up getting 2 years instead.

Apple was upfront about it from the very beginning, there was no indication that the additional 20Gb would stay free.

As it is in September I'll be taken back to 5Gb free which is more than enough for my uses.
