The Top Computing Disasters of 2008

Since there's nothing to ring in holiday cheer like a computer-related disaster, the festive folks at ZDNet have compiled a list of the year's best.
Included are such gems as a man putting his laptop into the kitchen oven before going on vacation -- Why? To protect it from burglars -- only to have his wife come home and used the oven to cook a roast chicken (and a roast laptop).
Slightly more epic was an around-the-world sailing trip that nearly ended in computer tragedy, when the boat capsized on the last day of the trip, leaving the sailor fearing she'd lost the record of her trip (she eventually recovered it).
The lesson to be taken from such events? Communicate better with your wife, and backup your data (respectively), and everything will be okay. [From: ZDNet]
