What I'm saying is that whatever is in the contract is what matters. Data hosting, web hosting, data storage, whatever terms are used matter little. EDIT: Case in point: We probably all agree that dropbox could be called "data storage", but

I'd say the opposite: Unless they clearly state they _do_ backups, they are not (legally) responsible for doing so.

Yeah, well you see how well it worked out in this instance. They transferred risk to a party incapable of mitigating that risk. I think maybe the TV producer's lawyers think that suing the internet host into oblivion will get their TV show

Such as? I'm saying that trying to come up with a catchy headline is one of the main goals of blogging, but on newspapers you only see linkbaits and misleading headlines in the opinion/editorial pages, which are clearly labeled as such, or

... then it would be called a "blog" ... Before downvoting the heck out of me, think about it... How often do you see misleading headlines/titles on blogs vs newspapers? Link baits, flamebaits, etc...

Well, I think if Igor from your story could have done a much better job of selling his concern. And it _is_ selling, even tough you know Truth ("This damned design does not scale", for example), you still have to sell it. It matters little

I think in the article you confuse old grumpy guy with experienced guy who does not know how to interface with people. Old grumpy guy to me is someone who is unquestioning in his own views. Does not care if he's wrong and does not give the

This argument is pointless. The argument makes no sense without putting in the context of content creation vs content consumption. Content creation is very resource incentive. If you don't quit any apps ever, you run out of resources. Sim

Where do I get in line to be an early customer? Is there a "let me know when you go live" sign up page? And actually, I LOVE to shop. I just have no taste for clothes. I wouldn't know how to define my style. I need help.
