Microsoft lost stuff and Sidekick Users See Their Data Vanish Into a Cloud

THis isn't the post I planned for this week, but it's a biggie.. in a bad way.

Sidekick Microsoft Users See Their Data Vanish Into a Cloud

Regrettably, based on Microsoft/Danger's latest recovery assessment of their systems, we must now inform you that personal information stored on your device -- such as contacts, calendar entries, to-do lists or photos -- that is no longer on your Sidekick almost certainly has been lost as a result of a server failure at Microsoft/Danger.

And I like what this guy comments about cloud being only as good as it's backup.

What can be learned from this.. Don't trust any single media nor the cloud... Make your own backups.

it's 1 AM and I'm thinking to go back up my gmail accounts...
