Have iPhone, will run
Don't be surprised if you see a giant iPhone tearing up the streets of Boston in Monday's race. It's just Jason Jacobs, founder and CEO of Boston-based FitnessKeeper, maker of the popular run-tracking iPhone app called RunKeeper.
The publicity stunt was cooked up by a team of students in David Gerzof's social media class at Emerson College, complete with the requisite YouTube videos.
Jason's number is 22790, in case you want to track him on Monday. And you can make donations to the "Race for Rehab" team here.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
