Gadling Gear Review: ioSafe Rugged Portable hard drive {Gadling}
Dec 30th 2011 4:21AM the biggest risk of carrying a hard drive is always going to be physical damage - the thing is after all designed around rotating platters with magnetic heads floating micrometers above them.

Waiting for a suitable gust, however, is limited to one minute. No artificial or man-made wind is to be used" and "no tampering with the welly shall be allowed. Factory finish only. No silicone polish is to be applied".

How to access free WiFi in Rome {Gadling}
Dec 30th 2011 4:14AM According to a report released by ISTAT, Italy's official statistics bureau, only 54.5% of Italians have access to the Internet, and 26.7% of Italians think the Internet is "useless" and "uninteresting".
It follows, then, that it's damn near impossible for tourists to access the Internet in Italy's capital city. Though cafes are ubiquitous, there are few with free WiFi, fewer with available electrical outlets, and only a handful with baristas that don't give you dirty looks after thirty minutes of web surfing.
