"T-Mobile's popular Sidekick brand of devices and their users are
facing a data loss crisis. According to the T-Mobile community forums,
Microsoft/Danger has suffered a catastrophic server failure that has
resulted in the loss of all personal data not stored on the phones.
They are advising users not to turn off their phones, reset them or
let the batteries die in them for fear of losing what data remains on
the devices. Microsoft/Danger has stated that they cannot recover the
data but are still trying. Already people are clamoring for a lawsuit.
Should we continue to trust cloud computing content providers with our
personal information? Perhaps they should have used ZFS or btrfs for
their servers."<snip>

Not to mention that users now have to hear about Microsoft/danger/
pink/stink or whatever babbling though their heads while they are
scared to death about their important docs or whatever. There will be
gnashing of teeth, there will be pitchforks held, and a huge lawsuit
over this fiasco
