This puts a really interesting spin on the MobileMe story. I wonder what would have happened if they had yelled back at Steve while he was dressing them down.

This puts a really interesting spin on the MobileMe story.
I wonder what would have happened if they had yelled back at Steve while he was dressing them down.
I also wonder who turned down their request for a more incremental launch. I'm not enough of an Apple-watcher to know what the org chart looked like, but could it have been Scott Forstall?
- yoda_sl 14y agoNo it was not Scott... Scott was too busy with iPhone launch. The VP in charge was John Martin former Microsoft and Starbucks... he came at .Mac with a bunch of ex-Microsoft and try to run the place most likely like Microsfot, but even worst only trying to show nice UX/UI without caring about performance. Project Managers/Engineers/QA leads did their job and reported to their upper management (Director and then VP John Martin) but they instead decided to silence everyone and kick a bunch of engineers out of the group.
