Dry out your soaked gadgets in rice

A Washington Post reporter who accidentally dropped his Blackberry in the toilet was able to retrieve it and dry it out to working order again: by leaving it turned off in a bowl of uncooked rice.

So many times we hear of people dropping their phones or other devices in anything from puddles to a toilet. This is a great thing to try. I don't know if I would personally try to salvage something that made it into a toilet, though.
