.Mac (dot Mac) membership is surely the first thing a new apple user is attracted to. More than just a cool email that describes you as a mac user, it also provides webdav based backup disk, sync profiles and lot more. But all this comes for a cost, at about $70. In today’s world, when companies offer much cheaper solutions at almost half the cost, the only thing about .mac membership is its inbuilt integration to OS X operating system. For those who can understand and afford few extra mouse clicks, and some semi-technical details, Derek offers an insightful read on “Poor boy Apple Dot Mac alternatives“. The article, like any other technical reviews at 5thirtyone, is a brilliantly composed piece providing a good user perspective to technologies that offer backup and sync services.
