A couple of ways to find iDisk upload progress/speed
Authored by: rumirocks on Feb 10, '06 09:24:36PM

"Why Apple doesn't give you a more detailed explanation of what is going on when you send files to an iDisk is beyond me."

The reason Apple doesn't do anything of a professional nature is that is refuses to present itself to the world as a business-oriented company with its online services. Everything is oriented towards drunk first or second year university students dating and flicking photos around. Witness: no security with calendars in Groups, no verifiable security with its .Mac products other than an assumption that Apple protects its servers, sending your password for iDisk in the clear when using .Mac. To name the three of the most immediate obvious. Someone has to grow up in their design/marketing department before Apple will look beyond the ultra-cool world of their mid-California, but exasperatingly parochial, view of terra firma. I can hardly wait. Maturity would be a plus.

I disagree with the harshness with which you've portrayed Apple's current focus, but that's beside the point. I figure that since you've brought these up, you should at least be accurate:

"no verifiable security with its .Mac products other than an assumption that Apple protects its servers, sending your password for iDisk in the clear when using .Mac"

If you'd actually taken the time to check this, you'd see that whenever Apple sends your account info in the prefpane, logging in via browser or when syncing your sensitive keychain data it's sent over port 443 using SSL.
