Apple Snow Leopard snacks on people's data

"We are aware of the issue, which occurs only in extremely rare cases, and we are working on a fix,"

No you're not convincing anyone Apple. It happens everytime. The fact that only a few users report it is irrelevant.

I think someone forgot to tell this man that any defects are completely intentional by the Apple geniuses

Total loss of profile data.
If I had no backup I would be FUMING and demand Apple pay for some data recovery

Security

What better way of making sure your data is safe than by deleting it if anyone tries to get into you computer?
A hacker would likely try the guest account first, then log in to the main account. This way, your data is completely hidden from them - permanently

It's a feature, not a bug!

Shameless advertising

"The data loss comes only days after Microsoft admitted that Sidekick users had probably lost all their data held on its servers after an outage last week. "

Nice plug for a totally unrelated incident. Different companies, different causes, everything.

In other news, 2.7million people everyday delete a file they didn't mean to delete.

Apple's foray into indie games?

Sounds a bit like the Lose-Lose game to me.

Finally, Apple's answer to the fascinating pastime of BSOD!
Which is worse, being on a Windows machine and having a virus destroy all your files, or being on a Mac and having the OS do it instead?

Not being computer literate apple users won't know what to do, many will buy another mac expecting the deleted data to be on it.
