@siracusa Good complaints. But bad solutions. "Straight up cloud" is too slow, and shouldn't be trusted to protect your data.
Forget for a moment about "family" photos. Apple's now damaging the ability for even an individual to manage things. http://peternixey.com/post/49928526270/dear-apple-lets-talk-about-photos …

@jdriscoll I don't think his suggestions necessarily lead to worse performance. - View other replies

@siracusa If you don't want a local cache you're going to be waiting for each photo to download. Even the iPhone is 8MP now. No FiOS here. -
@jdriscoll Who said there'd be no local cache? That's not how I interpreted what he wrote. Key words: "…the canonical copy…" - View other replies

@jdriscoll Caches are typically less than 100% the size of the total pool of data. -
@siracusa But you're going to need cacheing. Probably a LOT of it to get anything that feels like browsing a local iPhoto library. - View other replies

@jdriscoll …by letting it discard unmodified, unneeded data with abandon, secure that it's not lost forever. - Show more

@cphuntington97@drdrang More like water from a deep, deep well.

@siracusa Your old point about how Apple weirdly makes life harder for those "good" customers who own more than one of its products. - View other replies

@kjhealy Yes, and things are moving in the wrong direction in many ways. -
@siracusa “With iCloud, now everyone can suffer family-based iLife annoyances and irrationality— even if you’re single!”

@siracusa Congrats on your 50★ tweet! http://favstar.fm/t/332151796137082882 … -

@siracusa totally agree. Photo stream is incomprehensible to me in how it behaves. -
@siracusa The time has come for a complete rethinking of “photo library software.” -
@siracusa add to this buggy/flaky syncing of iPhoto events to iOS devices and non-updating Photostreams (after editing in iPhoto)
