No, I said that Apple's cloud offerings were not strong. I did not know DirectTV could stream outside of your home, but again that isn't Apple based. Of course things can stream right on apple products, I said I stream content on Amazon via my ipad, as well as music...and netflix.
When I do road trips, I load movies on my iPad and watch them at the airport while waiting, then the plane. Last trip, to the east coast, I watched the whole Godfather trilogy. I get about 3 movies without having to recharge. For mobile devices, they charge you per gigabyte of download. You can get near that watching a single movie; or more depending on the quality. Listen to a song, it's typically between 5 and 20 megabytes. You pay $10 to listen to roughly 50 songs. You'll save money by downloading to your local storage.
Interesting. I mean it's justified if you are streaming. They gotta have the bandwidth to supply all users with streaming service. I didn't know cloud or amazon charges per gigabyte
Cloud player is only $20 a year. I don't use it for file storage, I use dropbox. And cloud player songs I buy on amazon download into my itunes on my computer with no problem. http://lifehacker.com/amazon-mp3-is-78-cheaper-than-itunes-on-average-1349096059 Gym- have Wifi. Hotels- have wifi. I can download it too onto my device, which is fine as well. Its just more flexible. from what I've seen and heard, Itunes in the Cloud is an absolute clusterfuck.
I can also STREAM all my music at work, just by opening my browser and logging into my amazon account. Can't do that with Itunes.
I play all my music at work. I use iTunes as well. You can register up to 8 computers to one account.
Again, that's not cloud computing. I can do this on any computer in the world, no need to download anything or have to use itunes.
I haven't had a single problem. I set each device to automatically download any new purchase and playlist and it's ready the moment I click.
So you are fine having any device in the world access to your passwords and personal information? I'd rather have my iPad and play at any wifi network and not worry about that mess. Don't need other devices to know my shit
I'll take this Presidente-Mags pissing contest as an opportunity to update you all on the Chromebook experience four months in. I fuggin love it. Suits my needs perfectly and above all the thing just performs without a hitch. Only real limitation I've experienced so far is that I can't really work on my resume on google docs because its formatted so intricately that when you try to convert it to google docs it fucks the whole thing up. More formal word docs are fine though. Its no powerhouse but its plenty functional for me and a hell of a lot more enjoyable to use than Windows. My cousin just gave my mom a tower running Ubuntu. We now have an Acer Netbook running Windows 7, Ubuntu desk top, and Chromebook. Quite a weird collection of computers.
They must have your password and know what to look for. When you get on a strange device; you have zero protection. Did you also read the disclaimer that any information you have they can share when they see fit?
