Which is your weapon of choice?
Also on the blog last week, we looked into why Cloud may not live up to the hype and examined some of the downsides. Online backup options are all the rage, but what happens when they go wrong? This article dives into why you may want to approach Cloud backup with care.
We also asked the twitter community which backup destination they prefer and things got pretty heated! Is disk dodgy? Tape dead? Do you swear by Cloud?

Get a chance to read Wired's article last week on the rise of "All Data" enterprises? Turns out that Big Data is dead and gone, now the truly savvy multinational wants everything - we're okay with that, more data means more to backup! The All Data desire may not exactly come as a shock in a post-Snowden world, but it makes a good read. Check it out.
All signs are pointing towards the next AWS data center going up in Germany, apparently in an effort to make the most of their beefed-up data sovereignty regulations. Chances are it won't work though, as US courts recently stung Microsoft for a user's email data and plucked it straight out of Dublin without breaking a sweat. Read it here.
Outlook.com (you may remember it as Hotmail before the rebrand), added new features this week and now looks strikingly similar to Gmail. If you can't beat 'em, mimic 'em as close as legally allowable. Have a look.
And to round things off, here's a 20mm Anti-Tank Rifle destroying an Apple iMac in slow motion. Why? Why not? Click to watch.
