Snow leopard bug causes erasure of users home directory
Lashiec:
The worst thing, besides users losing their data of course, is that Apple has known about this bug since September 12th and there still isn't a fix available.

Probably because they're still waiting for an answer back from the people who actually wrote the OS.
(If they followed a more open approach to OSX, it would have been patched no later than the 14th.) :P

Nah, it's simply due to the way in which Apple issues updates. You never will see them issuing a single patch for a zero-day exploit, or loose patches for OS X components like it's usually done in Windows and Linux, they always consolidate a group of unrelated patches on a single package. And until everything that is included is done, nothing gets fixed.
If you think about it, closed devices and appliances also get updated the same way :D

Yeah, but my DVD player that plays Divx files off of flash drives has never deleted all my Divx files, though.
