Furious MyCloud users descend on WD website as borkage continues

Ignorance

A lot of CLUELESS comments here. Even a cursory examination shows that the files live on the MyCloud HDD you purchased and keep at home- it's just the cozy web/mobile interface that went down. So Nothing is lost, or evaporated or "out there somewhere." It's still all at home.

Disclaimer- I use OwnCloud, not MyCloud.

Re: Gee

My understanding of WD's cloud is the files stay on your own computer, it's just their web infrastructure in the middle. So only mobile access died. The alternative is buying a Distributed DNS address.

A titanic paradigm shift

Move the deck chairs a little more to the left... a little more... there! That'll show Google!

Enough with the hi spec bad cameras

It only takes 2MP to do 1080p video. It only takes 3 to make a good photo - I know, I own a Canon G3. Instead, we are burdened with 8MP cams with very poor light sensitivity, slow shutters, slow shutter response, made slower still with anti-shake, slow storage and large storage consumption, all for the marketing point that 8>3. They tiny amount of glass available only makes matters worse, and adding higher density sensors is not the solution.

Please, please, HTC, Samsung, LG, just STOP IT. Put moderate MP cameras with decent autofocus in phones, no more than 5MP like the Google G2, and give us decent quality pics worthy of our events and memories. I'd gladly take 2 or 3MP as long as it worked well.
