This proves automatically why dependence on cloud services is bad. And Apple wants to invest more in this technology? Geez!
Dependence on cloud services brought us a lot. An outage here and there isn't unexpected. Being able to check my balance from my phone and iPad instead of having to walk into a bank is good. :P
