Cloud Storage Hubbub

Why is it that the media is still writing articles about whether Microsoft and T-Mobile's Sidekick data loss issue is going to put a damper on cloud storage, but nobody is asking whether Apple's bug in Snow Leopard that deletes all personal data is going to stop people from storing data locally?  Articles reporting initially on each incident came out within a few days of each other.

Part of the reason that the Sidekick failure--and it is a catastrophic failure--is causing people to question cloud storage is because everyone is writing articles asking this question.  But, nobody is writing articles asking anything similar about Apple.

The Sidekick incident doesn't illustrate a fault of cloud storage versus local storage--it just shows that you still need to care about protecting your data, no matter where you store it.  Maybe the fact that everyone is writing about Sidekick rather than Snow Leopard illustrates that Cloud Computing is even sexier and more buzz-worthy than Apple!
