You really have difficulty in expressing what you mean. You previously wrote "a cloud outage might be annoying, but the data won't be lost" when you really meant a cloud outage might be annoying, but the data won't be lost as it should be stored in a copy else where.

nospam
there is no need to say that since the default is for a copy of the data in the cloud.

Why is that the default for most it isn't.

not only that, but one of the key advantages of the cloud multiple devices having access, so it's probably in many places. dropbox is a good example.

Just got an email from IT services saying the system is now up and running after being unavailble for 25 hours.

now ask yourself how many people have only one copy of their data on a hard drive. the answer is a lot. *they* are the ones who are going to lose data.

why would they lose data, you've claimed that only the user canb delete their data. You might also need to understand teh word lose in teh context of data too.

Now you say smartphones are "*more* secure since there are no moving parts to fail" when you really meant smartphones are *more* secure since there are no moving parts to fail except buttons and switches which do not store data.

nospam
data storage is either on a hard drive or flash memory, not buttons and switches.

It can be altered by buttons or switches, and created by them of course, I've had a screwdriver alter data. Are yuo saying that because a phone or camera uses flash media the data can't be 'lost'

only an idiot would bring up switches. they do move but that makes no difference to the data. even if every button and switch was broken, the data is unaffected.

it makes a lot of differnce get some water or dirt in a switch and it'll go open or closed randomly, buttons/switches go faulty. I guess you've never had a faulty keyboard.

Eric Stevens
Are you really saying that it is not possible for the failure of a button or switch to cause the loss of data? You will have to be very brave to say that: just because you don't know or can't think of an example doesn't mean it can't happen.

nospam
yes.

You've never had a problem with the early Mac 512ks with the reset switch on the side either just reseting re-booting the mac or going into programmers mode.

data is not stored in a button or switch.

But buttons and switches change data. An intermitent switch can cause all sorts of problems.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4707339 I took it into the apple store today. The genius said that it's a little common and he switched out the phone under warranty.

I know of someone that had a similar problem with their 3GS but they ignored it, until one day it got so bad the phone wouldn't stay on he took it to an apple store they said that shouldn;t happens and as they didn't have a 3GS then gave him a brand new iPhone4.
