Creating email spam lists is a multi-billion dollar business. Most webmail providers long ago closed a number of the more obvious methods spammers used to put together their lists in an automated way. One example - you don’t get bounced email messages from webmail services for emails to address that don’t exist. That way spammers can’t verify if an email address is good unless they get a response (clicking the opt out link is one ...

Filed under: iPod Family, iTS, iTunes, iPhoneBy definition, nearly all tips we receive about Apple future product intros are wrong. After all, we're not Engadget. People aren't going to risk their jobs to deliver insider information. That being said, a tip that shot into our mailbox this morning really tickled my fancy: not because I think it's accurate but because I really really want it to be true.

Just this sad, lonely little missive, titled “Final Post“: This will be the last MobileMe Status posting.

Apple has announced that in order to make up for the numerous and seemingly unsolvable glitches running rampant throughout their MobileMe service, they will be offering yet another free 2 month extension to MobileMe subscribers in addition to the 30 day extension they already have doled out.

曾在苹果公司邮件列表（Mailing List） 后台长期工作的前苹果员工Chuq von Rospach 透露了 MobileMe 上线初期糟糕表现的真实原因，并且试图揭开乔布斯写给 MobileMe 项目组的那封内部邮件（史蒂夫·乔布斯点评MobileMe）及苹果互联网项目新的负责人艾迪·库埃（Eddy Cue ）的真实情况。 内容如下： Rospach ：我知道，很多我认识的朋友和人们参与了MobileMe 项目，我为他们感到难过。但真实的情况是 MobileMe 还没有准备好就上线了，结果非常的糟糕。史蒂夫和苹果都不能容忍这样重大的失误。我想我的上司已经开始弥补这一失误了。 史蒂夫在那封邮件中说：“ 与 iPhone 3G 、iPhone 2.0 软件以及 App Store 同时发布 MobileMe 是一个错误。我们当时都已经在超负荷工作了，如果将 MobileMe 推迟发布，则可以避免许多问题。” 没错，史蒂夫说的绝对是正确的。但是要记住，放话让 MobileMe 通过的也是史蒂夫。（作为一个偏执的完美主义者）史蒂夫从来都不害怕说“还没有准备好”然后把某项工作叫停重来。史蒂夫准备 MacWorld 大会的开幕主题演讲是出了名的，哪怕距开幕还有不到24小时，如果史蒂夫对文字材料不满意，还是会叫人重写。 所以史蒂夫对此事要负有很大的责任，不过需要补充说明的是：负责向史蒂夫汇报实际情况的人告诉史蒂夫“一切已经准备就绪了”，而且史蒂夫信任他。因此那个向史蒂夫汇报情况的人是失职的，他让包括史蒂夫和苹果在内的每一个人都颜面无光。这同样也不是在苹果公司继续职业生涯的好办法。 在我看来 MobileMe 上线的糟糕表现关键不在于是苹果还是 MobileMe 项目组造成了这一问题，最大的失败在于苹果公司对“计划失败”的容忍能力，在于项目组不愿意告诉史蒂夫“我们还没有准备好”。他们认为自己可以让 MobileMe 在上线的时候正常工作，但结果很糟糕。不过假设 MobileMe 上线之后一切正常的话，我想这才是更糟糕的结果。 苹果的某些部门和项目组只顾自己的表演，把苹果的 IT 数据中心当作主机设备，还有一个项目组在苹果的核心 IT 群组之外运行自己独立的外部 IT 。因此艾迪·库埃才被调来负责建立和管理苹果的核心 IT 群组。 艾迪·库埃这个名字对大部分苹果员工来说也不是熟悉，不过他正在变得像乔纳森·艾弗一样对苹果的成功至关重要。他的专长是让苹果的在线服务能够稳定运转的后台基础架构。他领导的部门曾负责过苹果的在线商店、iTools （也就是后来的 .Mac 服务）和 iTunes store ，都是不引人注目的部分，但也是让耀眼的公司前台能够顺利运转的内核。 艾迪的新头衔将是互联网服务副总裁，负责苹果所有的互联网服务—— iTunes 、 App Store 和 MobileMe ，并直接向史蒂夫汇报。 事实上，让我非常惊讶的是艾迪·库埃居然没有被猎头公司看中过，还有提姆·库克（Tim Cook）也是。在苹果公司，如果你能够坚持到最后，成为史蒂夫信任的核心团队成员（当然，这并不容易）你就能够一直留下来。苹果一般不找猎头公司挖同一级别的公司的高层。 原因很大程度上是因为，为史蒂夫工作太难了。不过如果你能做到的话，那你接下来就能做很了不起的事情，并且会让你上瘾。相信我，在苹果公司你不会看到像雅虎或 Google ...

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, MobileMeYesterday, Mobile Me was down again, underscoring how little the service has improved since its introduction last month. Pockets of users have been affected regularly by outages and slowness since the service first came online. MacRumors calculates that Mobile Me has been up 96 percent of the time (that is, down for 13.5 hours) over the last two weeks. As a Mobile Me subscriber, I wonder if the opening-day trial ...

David Walsh, a network engineer who worked at Apple from 1995 to 2007, is currently suing them for making him work a little too hard. Specifically, he says they made him work more than 40 hours a week without overtime (because he was a "senior" engineer, a pseudo-management position he says was created to skirt paying overtime) and required him to be on call for seven days straight every six weeks. In other words, a ...

Om Malik says Apple is clueless about scaling MobileMe: There is no-unified IT plan vis-a-vis applications; each has their own set of servers, IT practices and release scenarios. Developers do testing, load testing and infrastructure planning, all of which is implemented by someone else. There’s no unified monitoring system. They use Oracle on Sun servers for the databases and everything has its own SAN storage. They do not use active Oracle RAC; it is all ...

The chaps at Valleywag have worked it out, and it's a classic.

译者按最近苹果发布的两款重要产品：iPhone 2.0 与 MobileMe 应该说都没有收到太好的反响。iPhone 2.0 的用户体验不佳，反应迟缓、容易崩溃；至于 MobileMe ，更像是个应该在苹果的神秘实验室里多待上几天的半成品，而且遭到了《纽约时报》和《华尔街日报》的一致抨击。我在试用三天之后，从手机和电脑上全面移除了 MobileMe 的服务——这个看起来精巧的云计算玩具两次清空了我的通讯录，而从我朋友圈子里的使用情况来看，我不相信遭遇故障的用户比例只有1%那么少。如果 MobileMe 不是在口碑上糟糕到一定程度的话，傀儡师乔布斯先生不会一反常态地指派员工开设“积极沟通”型blog，解释每天的工作进展。三篇之后，他们宣布解决了 MobileMe 最严重的清空数据臭虫。星期一，史蒂夫·乔布斯针对 MobileMe 并不理想的表现在公司内部发放了一封电子邮件。令人惊讶的是，乔布斯这次充分迎合了媒体的说法：这是一款上马过于仓促、目前很不成熟的产品。这种检讨的姿态并不多见，因此相信饱受 MobileMe 困扰的用户们，看到之后也会稍稍平复一些愤怒的情绪。译文项目组：MobileMe 的发布绝不是我们最美妙的时刻。有一些事情我们本可以做得更好：– MobileMe 压根儿没有达到苹果的标准，它显然需要更多的时间和测试。– 与其将 MobileMe 作为一个整体服务发布，我们本可以从iPhone的云端同步开始发布起，然后再让其余的网络应用逐一铺开——先是邮件，30之后(如果邮件工作正常的话)才是日历，再过30天才是通讯录。– 与 iPhone 3G 、iPhone 2.0 软件以及 App Store 同时发布 MobileMe 是一个错误。我们当时都已经在超负荷工作了，如果将 MobileMe 推迟发布，则可以避免许多问题。我们将会汲取经验教训，并采取一些措施来让 MobileMe 成为我们的顾客们真正喜爱的产品。今天要告诉大家的一个措施就是，MobileMe 项目组将向艾迪·库埃 (Eddy Cue) 汇报工作，而他也将领导我们所有的互联网服务—— iTunes 、 App Store 和今天开始的 MobileMe 。艾迪的新头衔将是互联网服务副总裁，而他将直接向我汇报。MobileMe 的发布表明，我们在互联网服务领域还有许多值得学习的东西。我们必须学习。MobileMe的远景令人兴奋，而且雄心勃勃。我们必须全力以赴地工作，在今年年底前让这个它变成一个我们都引以为傲的服务。史蒂夫
