Our WFBs will claim that I'm picking on M$, but really I'm not. Ask
any late-night comedian about how easy it was to make President jokes
last year vs this year. I really would have nothing to say if M$ were
not fouling up again and again and again.

"Contacts, calendar entries, photographs and other personal
information of Sidekick users has almost certainly been lost for good
following a service disruption at Sidekick provider Danger, the
Microsoft subsidiary said on Saturday."

"it appears from initial speculation that the data was lost because
they attempted to upgrade a storage array without backing it up
first."

Note that M$ did not lose *some* of *some* user's data, they lost
*all* of *every* user's data.
