Better to be safe than sorry. Protect your data from catastrophic loss. Schedule automatic backups of selected files, folders or your entire hard drive and save it to an off-site location. The best part is that the free service comes with 2 gigs of memory. Mac backup costs $99 per year and that comes only with 1 gig and absolutely no customer support! When signing up, tell Mozy abrown@andromeda.rutgers.edu referred you and you get an additional 256k of memory.
While you’re at it ZYB can backup your cellphone data. If you lose your phone or buy a new one you can instantly download your phone numbers and contacts. To use the service, your phone must be able to data sync. If you can get on the internet, download ringtones, check your balance, etc., then you’re good. If you’re in the USA you may have to enter ZYB sync data manually to your phone but this is only a small hassle compared with losing all your contacts.

Loading ...Make your own cola
Someone at wikiHow reversed engineered cola. I’m not surprised by this quote but it is still shocking to see it in print, “when you make cola, you basically end up filling a glass with sugar and then adding just enough water and ancillary ingredients to get it to dissolve.” Via boingboing. One correction though, most soft drinks, pastry and confections are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup and not sugar. High fructose corn syrup is considered to be a major contributing factor to the American obesity epidemic and to other health issues.
Update: Another coke formula.
