The ignorance level of some of those comments is amazing (not the comments here, the ones on the article).
"I am a apple fan, but you can be assured that I will NOT be using iCloud for this very reason.
Always have a back up and NEVER rely on cyber space."
"Moral of the storyis GET YOUR HEAD AND EVERYTHING ELSE OUT OPF THE CLOUD(S)"
"Like others on here, I feel that the rush to the "latest and greatest" IT thing of the cloud has serious implications - when you are not in direct possession or responsibility of your data, and something happens to it, what do you do?"
"This is why cloud computing is destined to fail. 'Cloud Shocks' like this will force people to rethink the whole concept and write cloud computing off as just a 'fad'. This isn't the first cloud shock and will not be the last."
The company in the article wasn't even a cloud provider...and further more, if they were a cloud provider they would have more chance of getting their data back. Some people just don't know the difference between the internet and cloud computing..
- mambodog 15y agoThis is an article on a mainstream newspaper's website. Despite what they might think of themselves, the reader base mainly consists of people who know rather little about how computers and the internet work.
- neckbeard 15y agoThe general level of reader commentary on the SMH website is pretty pathetic, no matter what the subject matter is. This isn't helped by the current trend for their articles to be link bait or scraped off a real tech source, rather than anything approximating journalism.
- mambodog 15y agoI would expand that: The general level of reader commentary on newspaper websites is pretty pathetic, no matter what the subject matter is.
- alastairpat 15y agoI think Fairfax as a whole is fairly lax when it comes to comment moderation. As much as I despise The Herald Sun and News Ltd., they do the whole online community thing better and the site is better for it.
