Well, Andrew was the iMac. It was on a pedestal. The G4 cube came up from the floor.

It's Phil Scheller had to jump on to an airbag. That's real power.

So we got some email from an Apple Store genius.

Yeah, last week we were talking about iCloud and who buys more storage for iCloud and I think I said

that I imagined that people would go in not knowing what this error message on their phone

means saying it says something and about iCloud blah blah blah fix it Mr. Genius person at the bar

and what they would I assume they would do is say you know the genius would tell them all

it's iCloud we only give you a certain amount of storage for free you've run out of that if you

want more you have to pay a ball of blood and the customer would be pissed and they would say I

don't want to pay more money for the stupid thing or whatever but that I figured they would

eventually just pay because they just want to keep using their phone the way they used to use it

and then at the end of that I joke that it's said oh I guess they could just turn back off

stuff entirely if they think nothing will ever happen to their phone well according to this Apple

Store genius who's been there for two years people do come in with the message that they don't

understand what it means it says not enough storage and he says the customer's first reaction is not

to pay for something they don't understand they just turn iCloud back up off and everything about

it again so there you go oh god that's so painful but I but that's extremely believable

oh the other thing is or they don't understand how to turn the prompt off and we just hit okay

every morning when an iCloud back up was attempted so like that's the new way they use the phone

is like every morning there's a dialog box on the hit okay and it goes away it doesn't bother me

to the next few days and he says there are very few people who have actually paid for iCloud storage

in recent memory the only people I can think of that bought it are people that assume iCloud
