Well, the apps I have are a cost, as is the fact that I really like the .me domain (which I could use on an Android phone if I really wanted to). But it doesn't change the fact that the article does a ton of misrepresentation.
Like, "barely a warning about MobileMe". Uh, I remember being warned quite well. I guess Tim Cook must consider me his best friend forever, and I got an early warning. And I wouldn't really be surprised if Apple got rid of DRM on more stuff at some point.
Funnily, the linked article in the rantlog about MobileMe also says there were enough warning and reminders ( for a year ). iCloud was announced by Apple as MobileMe's free replacement ( for atleast 90% of services ) in July 2011. It was continued to be offered till July 2012 with frequent reminders to existing MobileMe subscribers to migrate to iCloud ( and to other services for things like iDisk and web hosting which aren't on iCloud)
