A final post to the MobileMe Blog. New support options.

mobileme 20080818 222209 A final post to the MobileMe Blog. New support options.Back on July 25, at the request of Steve Jobs, the MobileMe Status blog was started to keep users up to date with system status and what was happening as specific issues were addressed.

This evening the final post to the blog was added noting that the upper right corner of the MobileMe Support Page will now be the place to look for the current system status. In addition to this, a MobileMe News page has been started to discuss enhancements, updates, explanations, fixes, support announcements, and other news.

MobileMe News is currently reporting on the 60 Day Subscription Extension as well as a story on how to go about Getting Support via Chat that announces a dedicated chat line for MobileMe mail support.

MobileMe still sucks. Here’s another 60 days of it for FREE.

MobileMeUpdate 20080818 192306 MobileMe still sucks. Heres another 60 days of it for FREE.This just in…in my Inbox to be exact…if you’re unfortunate enough to be a MobileMe subscriber whose account was active as of August 19, 2008 at “0:00 PDT”, you should have just received an email from Apple outlining the MobileMe Supplemental 60-day extensions eligibility and details. This 60 days is is addition to the 30 days already given to MobileMe subscribers a few weeks ago.

As stated in the article linked above, the transition from .Mac to MobileMe was rockier than Apple expected and the service is still not up to their usual high standards. This addition 60 days is kind their effort toward a apology. I, personally, haven’t has any MobileMe problems, so the free time is all good with me.

Got Leopard installed on an older Mac? Keep tidy or keep waiting.

An anonymous user writes in a Mac OS X Hints entry entitled A cautionary tale on overloaded Desktops in 10.5 that, in addition to just being messy and disorganized, cluttering your Desktop with files and applications can also summon The Spinning Beach Ball of Death. As the user discovered, Leopard’s live preview feature requires a Mac to generate a preview for every file on the Desktop; the more files, the more previews. And since viewing the Desktop is virtually unavoidable, a messy, slow Mac soon becomes unusable. The user has graciously provided a solution via a Terminal command that should solve the problem , although it doesn’t force you to be less of a Desktop slob.
