Apple Hiring a Team to Build "the Future of Cloud Services"
- nickpinkston 16y agoFTFY: "...Cloud Services at Apple" I can't imagine Apple being open enough to actually become the future player in this.
- callumjones 16y agoThey have a pretty big trojan horse to push cloud services. iOS.
- goatforce5 16y agoIsn't ITMS the largest distributor of digital music in the world, and 3rd or so large of music generally? I can imagine if they let you stream your music/video purchases from the cloud that they'd end up with a few customers for that.
- jsankey 16y agoUnfortunately openness probably won't matter in the short term. If it works, and untethers iOS devices from Macs then people will use it. There is hope, however, that open wins in the long term, and Apple will eventually have to play along.
- mindctrl 16y agoThey're just now hiring a team? Pathetic.
- tvon 16y agoNo new news, just a job listing. edit: Meaning, this is a job listing that could normally apply to a MobileMe position, but given recent speculation about apple expanding their "cloud", the job listing is used as fuel for that fire.
- phlux 16y agoGiven their new DC builds in NC though - and the recent purchase of 12 petabytes of Isilon storage... the writing is on the wall.
- Zev 16y ago12 petabytes isn't really that much nowadays.
- phlux 16y agoIn the global scheme, sure -- when you make a single purchase of 12 PB all at once, as apple did, that is quite a purchase.
