Yesterday we were all set to post about the MobileMe mail server crash and ask how it is new boss Eddie Cue hasn’t already fixed Apple’s troubled web services division in the week or so he’s been on the job.
Then the servers came back up.
All MobileMe mail users were only affected for a couple of hours, but it appears there were sporadic outages for some customers throughout the evening and continuing into today. Steve Jobs has promised to have the service ship-shape by the end of the year, but that’s four and a half months of potential bumpiness that can’t be good for Apple’s PR.

If you check the update page, it promises to have given an update. 2 weeks ago. No word still. For some MobileMe users, it’s still a bumpy painful road.
I think you mean Eddie Cue?

the calender synching implosion is reason enough for me to go back to a Palm.
