  1. Stupid self-promoting loser blogger by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    What a waste of Slashdot to post about some guy buggering up his own system then making a blog post about it being some software vendors fault.

    This is total unconfirmed nonsense and there could be any number of causes to this guys loss of data.

    I hate all these bloggers who post their stupid posts onto mainstream forums.

    No-one cares about your stupid mac issue. Go whine somewhere else.

  2. Apple Update also wipes data by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Last update wiped my entire user folder. Lost every Garage Band project. Thank God I made backups to an external drive. Apple is so uber. Soooo technologically advanced.

    You obviously don't move in corporate circles.

    By that you mean corporate circle jerks, I presume.
