Google is retiring the iGoogle page, but on a much shorter time scale, Apple is shutting down an iService of its own: the cloud-storage site iWork.com (linked to Apple's office apps suite iWork) is slated to go offline at the end of this month. Says the article, over at SlashCloud: "As of that date, 'you will no longer be able to access your documents on the iWork.com site or view them on the Web,' reads Apple&rsquo;s note on the matter, followed by a recommendation that anyone with documents on iWork download them to the desktop." Both of these announcements remind me why I covet local storage for documents and the ability to set my own GUI prefs.http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Another+Death+in+the+Cloud+As+Apple+Ki lls+Off+iWork%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FPkMiVL)http ://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fit.slashdot.org%2Fstory% 2F12%2F07%2F05%2F196236%2Fanother-death-in-the-cloud-as-apple-kills-off-iwork%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceb ook)http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://it.slashdot.org/story/12/07/05/196236/another-death-in-the-cloud-as-apple-kills-off-iwork?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
