PC World has a wonderful article that takes aim at some of the most prevalent myths that seem to circulate time and time again. Here are some of the ones they take on:
<li>Magnets zap your data.</li>
<li>Using a cell phone on a plane interferes with the navigation and communications systems of the aircraft.</li>
<li>If you don't 'stop' a USB device before unplugging it from a PC, you'll screw things up.</li>
<li>Cookies track everything you do on the Internet.</li>
<li>Terrible things happen if you turn off your PC without shutting down Windows.</li>
Each myth is rated on a “Bogus-O-Meter”, and generally discussed with an industry expert. Great reading.
