iCloud Backup

Marco Arment shares his grandfather's experience with Apple Genius and iCloud (and PC-related stuff in general). It's worth reading.

This rings so true (emphasis mine):

It’s easy for most of us around these parts to forget how badly technology still works for so many people. This is supposed to be the best we have today: an iPad, a routine OS update, an Apple Store, an automatic backup feature.

Too many things that are supposed to just work simply don't. And I am not blaming Apple here. They have been setting the bar in this 'it-just-works' thing for decades.

Scott Hanselman is right. Everything is broken. And nobody is upset.
