Apple Wants To Store Your History In the Cloud

bizwriter writes "Most online backup is about keeping the latest and greatest version of what resides on a device, whether a PC, tablet, or smartphone. Three recent patent filings suggest that Apple has a super version of backup on its mind. Someone would be able to go into an application (like iTunes or the App Store), find what material was available at a previous time, and recover any or all of what once was there without having to use a separate recovery program."

Nonsense, Apple clearly invented the cloud. And backup. And turtlenecks.

I only get my Facebook account with a small selection of what interests me and who I have befriended publicly. Hardly my "entire life." :S

The sad thing is that for the rest of us that is our entire life.
