macrumors.com— So, Apple does appear to own Me.com. It was likely purchased sometime in December 2007, and it could very well be the rebranding for Apple's .Mac service.

Actually... I don't think so. They haven't used it as much lately. Apple TV, Apple Mail. Their new thing is putting Apple in front of the name and not saying it. The iPhone probably had the i purely for brand recognition.
I get email and well over 50 gigs of online storage that I can access from anywhere and I pay nothing. Some services give 10 gigs free and at least one I know of does 50 for free and if you sign up for 4 accounts - there's 200 gigs free. It sucks that they charge for something like syncing when that should be an automatic software thing that doesn't need Apple involved from day to day. At least rip people off by selling that as a "program" with a one time fee instead of making it a rental service (which is what it ends up being).
Let me tell you something f**kface. At this point of evolution of the interwebs, if you spend 10% of the time you spend on video games, you can easily find a alternative solution to .mac which does everything .mac does and more. I have used dotmac mail for few months and I should say that Apple doesnt give a f**k abt downtime. if dotmac is down for 2 days , what do they lose? A few extra phone calls to their customer support reps and few trips to the genius bar? f**k they care abt dotmac.

Does this mean me will cost way too much too?

Ummm. No. That's not even remotely funny thus I just assumed they were being serious. Can't blame a guy for standards when it comes to lame humour.
