I try to keep posted on all sorts of valuable, industry related information through the normal channels, and often use my Digg RSS feed (more the Technology feed than Develpment), for some of the more entertaining stories I allow myself to get sucked in to. Earlier today, a post came across that I couldn’t resist: Girl’s boyfriend *accidentally* cooks her laptop in the oven…. When I opened the link, I didn’t notice the fairly large print with the date ‘Tuesday, November 22, 2005,’ but before finishing the article, it was a question I had looked to answer. Noting that it was almost 2 years old, I couldn’t help but laugh to myself thinking that a bunch of people have probably stumbled upon the article, much like I did, and would be replying to it as if it were current, giving useful advise like ‘backup your data,’ and ‘contact tech support and they’ll probably send you a replacement casing.’

When you look at the comments, and I do recommend the read,  they go from December 2005 to July 2006 to August 2007. A timeless piece preserved on the Internet for eternity complete with useful information (don’t hide your laptop - or from the comments your passport! - in the oven) and a happy ending. The laptop did end up working.
