Reached work. Went for lessons. Fired up Firefox. Went to Techcrunch. And saw this! Gmail Disaster: Reports of Mass Email Deletions.
Apparently, Firefox isn’t such a safe browser after all. And maybe it is time to start waking up to the fact that keeping all our data online isn’t such a smart thing. It is time to go and start learning how to backup email offline. But offline data can also be lost! My computer might crash. Time to start making backups on disk? But these disks can be lost in a fire? Time to buy a fireproof safe.
But a safe can be cracked. Time to start remembering everything. But the human brain can forget. Arggh……..
Anyway, apparently, it is not really a gmail thing per se. It has to do with a bug in Firefox. Microsoft must be beaming.
