{{Title text: }} [[Randall monologues behind his official XKCD desk.]] Randall: We've made a huge mistake. Randall: I figured starting a cloud services company would be EASY. After all, I've got TONS of computers! [[Randall gestures to a mound of various and sundry mini computers, from a lowly Commodore to a large Alienware.]] [[Close zoom on Randall's featureless oval face.]] Randall: Facebook, twitter, tumblr - they all struggle to protect privacy and user data. Randall: And we offered a solution. Randall: I forget what it was, though. [[Wide zoom to Randall waving his arms in a conciliatory manner.]] Randall: Anyway, long story short, we screwed up IMMEDIATELY and lost TONS of their data. Randall: Also a bunch of stuff is literally on fire? [[Randall is back behind the desk.]] Randall: We can fix this. But we need your help. Large red banner: Help us recover user data before facebook & co notice we lost it.
