@BenSouthwood re News, it is a pretty deep offering on publications I guess, although some key ones req supplemental subscription. But sharing is awful. It’s a hermetically sealed version of the search-site.action URL thing—anyway the reading experience is not always bad. re Music, again, like so many of their services, it can be maddeningly half-baked. But sometimes, sometimes, the recommendation engine gets me right in the feels.

But the whole iCloud+/OS’s & InformationAgeLifestyle thing, with all its rather elegant fast integrated reliable simplicity, which has simply accrued over the decades, well, it is well worth it.

Important Note: spontaneity, continuity, partitioning, and live archive are the driving forces of my cyber desires, at least lately. And I have a long term investment in their hard-and software...because I’ve used plenty of other stuff over the years. 😉
