[bigbrothertech]

Researchers in Oklahoma are offering a $1,000 reward for the return of a stolen laptop which they claim contains a possible cure for prostate cancer.
Sook Shin and her husband, who work as cancer researchers at the Oklahoma University, decided to take a break from their work on Sunday to get some dinner. When they returned to their car they found it had been broken into and their Macbook had been stolen.

No backups for such information? Unbelievable. No backups surely means that they hadn't even enabled encryption (FileVault) so they may have exposed information that could possibly be sold...

Funny...  Especially since cancer cures can be found on the Interwebs....
