Your complimentary iCloud storage upgrade has been extended at no charge

Dear Slacker Extraordinaire,

When you moved your MobileMe account to iCloud, we provided you with a complimentary storage upgrade beyond the standard 5GB that comes with an iCloud account to help you with the transition. Originally, this storage upgrade was set to expire on September 30, 2012.

As a thank you to our former MobileMe members, we will continue to provide you with this complimentary storage upgrade at no charge, for an additional year, until September 30, 2013. No action is required on your part. For complete details, please read this article.

Thank you again for using iCloud,

iCloud Team

Casualty of MobileMe Closure: Drew Thaler’s JavaScript Blacklist Safari Extension.

UPDATE:
JavaScript Blacklist Safari Extension 1.0.1 is available.

What is Drew Thaler’s JavaScript Blacklist Safari Extension?

JavaScript Blacklist is a simple extension for Safari 5 which blacklists scripts from a configurable list of domains. If a common “utility” script used by sites that you visit is annoying you, this will let you opt out quickly and easily.

John Gruber linked to Drew Thaler’s page which was hosted on MobileMe: http://homepage.mac.com/drewthaler/jsblacklist/

The problem is that Apple has shut MobileMe down starting July 1st, 2012.

You can easily copy Drew Thaler’s JavaScript Blacklist Safari Extension from other computers. You can also download it here. I copied it from one of my computers and zipped it.

MobileMe is closed.

As scheduled, MobileMe is now closed. If you have not moved your MobileMe account to iCloud by June 30th, 2012, you still can do that.

MobileMe’s Last Stand.

June 30th, 2012.
MobileMe service is set to end today. For those who have not copied the content of their iDisk should do it right now. Move your MobileMe account to iCloud.

iCloud is a MobileMe replacement and it comes with 5 GB of free storage. User can purchase additional storage space.

  • Additional 10 GB costs $20.00 / year
  • Additional 20 GB costs $40.00 / year
  • Additional 50 GB costs $100.00 / year

 

Countdown to MobileMe Extinction, T-Minus 21 Days.

A lot of people have moved their MobileMe account to iCloud since October 2011. Before moving to iCloud make sure that you have at least one device meet the minimum requirement for iCloud.
