On Aug 5, Steve Jobs admitted that MobileMe was not up to Apple's standards and gave subscribers a 30-day extension. Although Apple has by most accounts ironed the issues that afflicted its successor to .Mac, the company is back again with yet another olive branch: To recognize our users' patience, we are giving every MobileMe subscriber as of today a free 60 day extension. This is in addition to the one month extension most subscribers have already received. There's an Knowledge Base article that lists terms and conditions, but here are the salient points: • Am I eligible for the 60-day extension? —You are eligible if you are a MobileMe member whose account was active as of August 19, 2008 at 0:00 Pacific Daylight Time. • What if I am currently in a free trial period? —If you were in your free trial period on August 19 at 0:00 Pacific Daylight Time, your free trial will be extended an additional 60 days. • I already received an extension recently. Am I still eligible for the 60-day extension? —Yes. As long as you meet the conditions stated above, you will receive an additional 60-day extension. So, for those who have suffered MobileMe's various trials and tribulations since July 11, your account will be extended by a total of 90 days. Editor's note: All I can say is that Apple must be bleeding subscribers badly for it to again extend subscriber accounts by an additional 60 days. The net effect of the various outages must be far worse than anyone's hinted so far. An obvious attempt to staunch the bleeding... What's your take?
