its one of 2 things. either microsoft wanted to sabotage the brand to steal the technology (without breaking the agreement they had with danger)

or danger employees cant stand working for the big bad new boss and all banded together to F^(k it up.

i dont know what really happened here but the fact that microsoft didnt have working backups is simply shameful. microsoft seems to not care about the entire danger platform. they have treated it badly since the merge. we ended up with a buggy product that was rushed out, it was under a whole new system that wasnt tested enough. they tried to make up for it by adding free social network clients but it wasnt good enough. microsoft has not added anything software related to the danger platform at all. they let the servers get over flooded, they didnt back it up, they didnt offer anything to the little dpwnload catelog except the stupid map. and ecen the map sucks. its slow, it doesnt offer as many features as google maps and all and all i just dont like what microsoft has done with the danger platform.

what do you guys think??

You bloggers are monkeys. Stop hating on microsoft and do something with your life. Maybe one day you can make a real salary with a real job.

Are you kidding? MS is to blame if it was a disgruntled employee?! Kinda like Nicole Brown Simpson was to blame because she obviously ticked off OJ. Or jews really have to ask how they got Hitler so riled up.

Destroying thousands of customers’ data because you’re mad at your company is YOUR fault. No one elses.

FeenForKicks, remind me to never hire you. I’d hate that you decide that you needed a promotion, but since you didn’t get one, everyone in office must die.

Jesus’s nuts I made one comment u go off lolz

Sorry guy

The latest AppleInsider report says the “data center had ‘been running on autopilot for some time…’” and that it used the relatively complicated (due to its necessary goal of high availability) Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC). It’s entirely believable that:

The RAC database was never blacked up correctly and this wasn’t caught due to a failure to spend the $$$ to fully and regularly test the backups.

Backups were being tested but that stopped due to Microsoft’s gutting of Danger’s operations staff.

Another possibility is that the load on the SAN got so high (too many IOPs required) that testing the backup was no longer feasible, or even doing the backup was no longer possible without service interruption which would require Microsoft to pay T-Mobile $$$ under their SLA.

Someone with enterprise experience says that this is common: backups are stopped because they interfere with operating the service and the solution is to upgrade the SAN. By the time the purchase of new hardware is spec-ed, approved and it’s in place even a one shot backup is not practical, so the manager in charge thinks he’ll solve all the problems with just the upgrade.

The specialists doing the upgrade get a signed by a VP “OK to do it without the backup”, fail (that’s not uncommon and why they get it in writing) … and you have today’s situation, where having a sufficiently hot fire built underneath them Microsoft is clearly groveling over whatever bits survived the whole mess and succeeding in retrieving some fraction of them.

this is deff no surprise to me… i figured that this screw up was brought on intentionally by somebody or sombodys!

I figured that Microsoft purposely had done this to wreck the rep of the sidekick thus causing them to have to kill the danger sidekick…. allowing more time and money for focus on project pink phones !

tell me if i was wrong for thinking that ? does that make sense to any of you ?

well now after reading this blog.. it all makes sense to me now… watch EVERYBODY will be getting their data back! jeez thank god ~!

Such a waste of time ! MicroDanger Knows what they are doing ! at least i f*c*kng think that ! hopefully the sidekick future will once more become healthy !

Ahhaahaha i bet i sound like a dumbass !

Lolz but I personally don’t doubt it, think. Microsoft bought a platform they don’t associate with using in their mobile devices, why!? (Hmmmmmmm)

Needless to say other devices have failed before, the blackberry outage, the iphone release parties and those lovely moments when it decides to crash and you have to restore it, android freeze ups and not receiving text or calls, but with something as big as has been this sidekick failure, its inevitable that all of us are speculating, specially with the fact that this only happened after microsoft buys the company, even if it was an ex danger employee/s who’s to blame, that still points the finger to microsoft for doing something that totally pissed that person (or people) off
