Source: MSFT/Danger's Servers Were Sabotaged

[gorehound]

this is one of the reasons why i will never bother to buy digital files of movies or music or books.i know we are talking of a different thing in this post but the point is i want to make sure i own what i buy so if it is lost due to accident i wont lose my stuff.

and i do own a cellphone and use it as a phone.and all my contacts/numbers are backed up on a piece of physical paper.

remember to not trust to computers and back up your possesions.

I don't know about sabotage, but why would there be no backup at all? Seems very odd.

I'd venture somebody deep in IT had a serious porn collection or something else really weird (and massively illegal - like maybe some money transfer program that grabbed a penny from every financial transfer or message) hidden in the system files that would have left tracks and been discovered if it was erased deliberately and decided it was time to make it go away in a manner that could never be traced.

Didnt Steve Jobs just come back from an extended hiatus?

I bet he was working undercover at Danger the whole time.

Sneaky ah heck.

Hey, Tina. You know that guy we laid off that fed the little square things that looked like tapes to the refrigerator looking thing? Yeah, um, do you thing HR might have his number still?

Appleinsider said "Guest" account was turned on. Makes sense now that is why no TapeBackups were available too.

I knew it...put 1 and 1 together and you get 11.
