Interesting read…

Somehow it makes little sense that amateur “ham” radio continues to thrive in the age of Twitter, Facebook and iPhones. Yet the century-old communications technology — which demands such commitment that you must generally pass an exam to receive a license — currently attracts around 350,000 practitioners in Europe, and a further 700,000 in the United States, some 60 per cent more than 30 years ago.

I’m finding that there are a few definitions of suspended animation… here’s one:

In early winter, brown bears find a comfy spot in a cave or burrow that’s well-protected from the cold. Then they curl up, fall asleep, and don’t awaken or eat for 5 to 7 months. It’s called hibernation, and until now we weren’t really sure what happened in bears’ bodies during that time. How could they survive for half a year without food?

I’ve known this to be true for some time, but now there’s finally an article about it…

Its interesting to think that most of the people who read my blog have smartphones, and seeing people without a smartphone is probably a rare thing… but its clear we are the minority – dumbphones still rule the market.

Of the 234 million cell phone users in America last year, a dominating 73 percent own traditional (aka non-smart) devices, according to market researcher comScore. Despite their more popular mindshare, intelligent devices like the Apple iPhone and phones based on Google’s Android operating system own barely a quarter of the market.

Dumb Phones Still Dominate Smartphones … For Now

I’ve heard these sounds way to often when I go over to a friends house to “help them with their computer”… 🙂

These are some typical sounds we hear in our data recovery lab. If your hard drive makes noises like these and you are still able to access your files – backup immediately.
