Dry out your soaked gadgets in rice

I'm passing this along. File under usefull information. Posted in Lifehacker featured on Gizmodo.

If you your mobile phone gets wet, dry it out in a bowl of uncooked rice.

There's a grain of truth (punny, huh?) to this in that rice quickly sucks up the surrounding moisture. Make sure the environment is free from excess humidity, drop the wet device in a container of rice and let it sit. For a better desiccant, it'd be a good idea to store all those little silica gel packets that come in anything from shoe boxes to moisture-sensitive gadgets.
