[edit] Criticisms
I don't use .mac, but it would be useful if someone that had experience with both.mac and other similar services could maybe add a Criticisms section to the article. As far as I can see the man current criticism would be the pricing, but I'm sure there must be others. SeumasS 17:23, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- I use .mac regularly and I certainly have criticisms, but are criticisms necesary for an article? It could very well be that I'm in need of some Wikipedia education. Please explain how listing criticisms would be useful. Phauge 06:26, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- It seems like the article has a fairly NPOV already - the fact that there's no criticisms should be noted here (as it has) - and if someone feels like adding something that is a major (or minor) flaw, they should, but criticisms shouldn't be necessary to remove the cleanup tag.

[edit] Relevance
.NET is even more confusing since .net is a TLD.
A fair point, but is it relevant to the article? - DaveR 00:14, 9 January 2006 (UTC) I don't think so.. this comment seems irrelevant :) Kylar 20:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] iLife
The text says "two of the five iLife apps... Shouldn't it say six - given the introduction of iWeb? Also, shouldn't iWeb be added to these two (making three) apps that are .Mac integrated? Or have I missed the point somewhat? Witty lama 12:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- As of iLife '06, iTunes is no longer classed as a part of the suite, so 'five' is still correct. Romansanders 11:30, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Needs something written about the Jan 2006 update
Someone who actually uses the service would be more qualified to write about it, but I note from Apple's website that there are new services available on .Mac since Jan 2006, including a subcribers-only encrypted iChat server, and integration with the iWeb (allowing the publication of fancy slideshows, etc). 81.106.234.88 00:42, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Caps
"The bookmark sync is a great tool for travelers or anyone who wishes to access their bookmarks anywhere they have internet access. The bookmarks are stored exactly in the hierarchy from the one's bookmarks in SAFARI. ADDRESS BOOK is also synced so anywhere you have internet access, you can access your address book in its entirety. If you work in a mixed PC/Mac environment, there is a WINDOWS access application that allows you access to retrieve and load files to/from your iDisk."
Part of grammar, or unnessacary capsing? --80.227.58.13 12:29, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] .mac/.Mac
I know Apple isn't very consistent about this, but it does say ".mac" on the actual retail box it is sold in... Any ideas on how this could be reflected in the article? PaulC/T+ 04:45, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
It should be .mac rather than .Mac. I changed it everywhere on this article, but I can't seem to do the same for the title. Phauge 23:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like it was changed back to .Mac. Fair enough. I do wish Apple was consistent with it all. Phauge 05:16, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- I believe that ".Mac" is the official. It's possible that Apple's own use of ".mac" was unintentional. Kylar 20:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] just a question
does anybody know if .mac makes a PC seem like an apple computer?
--Adam J. Book 00:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- The only way to make a PC look like a Macintosh would be to boot Mac OS X, rather than Microsoft Windows (or Linux or a BSD or Solaris or...) on it. .Mac doesn't do anything to let you do that. Guy Harris 01:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
