Cryogenically frozen RAM bypasses all disk encryption methods
Computer encryption technologies have all relied on one key assumption that RAM is volatile and that all content is lost when power is lost. But a $7 can of compressed air is enough to give every security professional heart burn.

- Toshiba Portege R500-S5003 Full Review »
- The good: Extremely thin and light laptop; includes solid-state hard drive. The bad: Fixed configuration; no mobile broadband; expensive external optical drive option; ULV CPU limits performance without seeming to do all that much to extend battery life. The bottom line: Toshiba's SSD version of the Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop available right now, and it packs in much of what the MacBook Air lacks while weighing nearly half as much.
