Hard drive data recovery
Having lost data to a hard drive crash, and knowing people who have lost data to a hard drive crash, I have always wondered what went into recovering data. Tom’s Hardware Guide has a nice article on what goes into this process. They even provide information as provided to them from a data recovery company. The article gives a range of prices that this service can cost, and it is not cheap. However, if it is necessary to get your data back, it may be possible…for a price.

Thats right, they set up a webserver to display what bathrooms were available or in use in their dorm building.
