Google's GMail Outage: Another Blow for "The Cloud"

kdart -- You should backup your hard-drive constantly. There's no excuse to ever lose more than a few hours's or single day's worth of work due to any crash. So, what if my hard-drive crashes? I pull my last backup off the tape or disk and thank myself for backing-up every day. Of course, restoring an OS may be harder than that, but, relatively speaking, not that hard.
