Google admits it deleted some customer data after 'technical issue'

Yes, I received that email telling me that perhaps my Timeline data was gone, and it was :(

I'm fed up with them mucking about with Timeline. I used to enjoy being able to look at Timeline on my PC, but they took that away. Such a hassle to view it on the mobile screen, but anyway, that's what was left.

Luckily I had the Encrypted Backups turned on that they suggested a while back, so my Timeline data is back.

But the day will come when they either delete and lose my data completely, or they'll reduce the functionality till it's no longer useful.

Best at what?

Don't crack that Mac: Almost NOTHING in new Retina MacBook Pros can be replaced

Re: Batteries!

"Given that Apple can replace the battery themselves at any Apple Store same day, this suggests to me that perhaps it isn't as difficult to do as it's being made out. The trick is going to be finding out the presumably secret method that Apple use to do it and there being a supply of replacement cells on the market."

A screwdriver would be easier.

Sony Tablet S

Perhaps because there is 'choice'

Why buy an iPad? I've used one. Its an Ipod Touch hidden behind a large display, incredibly yesterday and boring.

Easily scratched

I went looking for a Tablet last month and this was on the list. However, I had read that the screen was prone to scratching. The first one I saw on display had a huge scratch across the diusplay so that was crossed of my list straight away.

It also felt a bit like a cheap plastic toy, cant say it appealed to me regardless of the spec. Bought a Tab 10.1 instead.

Dab or Internet?

Why on earth would I be interested in Dab Radio at home or perhaps even on the move when there is Internet radio already available and a far greater choice of stations?
