T-Mobile Sidekick Disaster: Dangerâs Servers Crashed, And They Donât Have A Backup
,----[ Quote ]
| Wow. T-Mobile and Danger, the Microsoft-
| owned subsidiary that makes the
| Sidekick, has just announced that
| theyâve likely lost all user data that
| was being stored on Microsoftâs servers
| due to a server failure. That means that
| any contacts, photos, calendars, or to-
| do lists that havenât been locally
| backed up are gone. Apparently if you
| donât turn off your Sidekick and make
| sure its battery doesnât run out you can
| salvage whatâs currently stored on the
| device, otherwise youâre out of luck:
| Microsoft/Danger is describing the
| likelihood of recovering the data from
| their servers as âextremely lowâ.

T-Mobile apologizes for Sidekick outage, offers a month's free data

| A top exec for T-Mobile has offered an
| apology and a credit to U.S. Sidekick
| users, who are still dealing with the
| effects of a massive data outage that
| first hit late last week. However, more
| than a few Sidekick owners just want
| their contacts, e-mail, and Web browsing
| back already.

Open Source Makes Big Gains at the London Stock Exchange
,----[ Quote ]
| At first sight, news that the London Stock Exchange
| (LSE) is moving from the Microsoft .Net-based TradElect
| to the GNU/Linux-based MillenniumIT system, is just
| another win for free software.
|
| But the details provide some fascinating insights into
| the world of very high performance â and very expensive
| â enterprise systems.
