It's not quite what you think...

Last week, Informit.com published a story about recovering and protecting memory card data. In a follow-up to a 2004 story on recovering files from used hard drives, they bought 16 used memory cards online and attempted to recover images and movies. The story tells what they managed to harvest, how they did it, and how to protect yourself from having your images stolen if you sell or give away an old memory card. This is a very, very valuable piece of photo-related journalism!
