Ever lost a cellphone?
Earlier this year, one of our board members lost his cell phone. Like many of us, his phone was an integral part of his ability to work, and also like many of us, his cell phone had a more complete and up to date address book than his palm or computer address book.
Needless to say, it wasn't a good experience for him. So, when I saw the cellstik, I thought of him. It's a little device that plugs into a cellphone, and sucks the data off with the option to dump it all back out onto a new phone in the event of loss.
Might just be a good thing to add to your personal backup strategy.

First in series about RAM
RAM - Random Access Memory is arguably one of the most important determining factors in a computer's performance and overall usability, but a lot of us don't really know or understand quite what it is, what it does, and what we need to know and think about when shopping for RAM.
This article: "RAM - Memory Technology Overview" is the "first of a multi-part series dealing with RAM" where anandtech "tackle[s] the topic of explaining how memory works and what the features mean."
(Via AnandTech Article Channel.)
Anandtech generally has very good articles on technical information, and even if you don't need to deepen your knowledge on the intracies of RAM right now, this is definitely worth a bookmark for later reference.
