Here is something that I have been waiting for, virus protection on a USB stick. Once it is plugged in, the LG Vaccine will begin automatically monitoring any ingoing and outgoing communications. It is updated automatically and comes with a two-year license. After that, you are going to have to pay to get it a license renewal. The Press Release is a little confusing. Depending on which part of the page you read, the maximum [...]
The Wireless Spy Camera from Chinavision with built in microphone can transmit images up to twenty meters away to a base station unit. It is a serious piece of voyeuristic hardware for the peeping tom with a budget. It records in MP4 and requires on 3 Lux illumination to get the party started. I haven’t even gotten to the best part, it comes packed with a solar powered recharger. Twist the cap to get this [...]
Seeing as pepper spray has a range that is limited to the distance it can squirt, it is not really what you need for deterring would be attackers when they look at you funny from across the street. In the time that it takes you to think, “Did he have his eye on my Alienware bag?” you can whip out the Avurt IM-5 Self-Defense PAVA Projectile Launcher and give the potential villain a PAVA powder [...]
The Auto Detective pen may be just the thing for the paranoid criminal mastermind that you just happen to know and love. The pen will begin flashing when in the presence of wireless and RF signals within the ranges of 900/1200/1300 and 2400 /2600/3000MHz, and it will flash more rapidly as you draw nearer to the pesky spy device. It will also help them identify counterfeit bills. I am not sure that they will want [...]
Want to shred the contents of your hard drive before you throw it away? Want to clean up a hard disk before selling it, without leaving your files vulnerable? That’s exactly what the Drive Erazer can do and to military standards to boot. There are a million good reasons not to put your hard disk in the trash without destroying the data first. My tried and tested technique involves a hammer and a chisel, but [...]
Why would you want a bullet resistant backpack that features police level ballistic protection? MJ Safety solutions will tell you that it is because of the 229 people that were killed and 422 people that were injured in school violence. They go on to tell you that in almost 97% of those incidents the “MJ Safety Solutions backpack could have provided the ballistic protection that could have saved lives.” The trouble that I have [...]
The Key Carbon is a clever idea, if you want to snoop around your own computer. If you suspect that your roommate is taking liberties with your system or that your significant other is onto your pr0n stash, the Key Carbon will let you know one way or another. It is compatible with any PC that uses a USB keyboard and records the keystrokes on a hardware level rather than a software level. The memory [...]
Mobile Robots has reworked their commercial PatrolBot design to provide consumers with three enticing forms of robo-servitude. First up we have Jeeves the butler. He is more than happy to serve guests drinks and tiny wieners at your next house party. Then there is Agent 007. He will keep a watchful eye over your home by wandering aimlessly around the house taking photos and warning you when a door has been left open. Finally (and [...]
It seems the latest and greatest MS Word exploit is contained in a document that was written on Word for Mac. It is embarrassing for Microsoft that the exploit targets a security flaw that was already patched. Symantec reported that a suspicious document successfully crashed every version of Word except 2007. Not only did the document crash Word, it also contained three pieces of malware. I would like to think that most people have learned, [...]
The “Back Up” is a simple gun rack that fits under your bed mattress, so there really isn’t much to it–it just makes me laugh. The idea is that you have easy access to your shotgun at night in the event you are attacked by thieves or a sweet deer that would look good over your mantle. The fact that it even exists is hilarious, and so is the commercial available in the product link [...]
Don’t you hate that guy who takes 20 smoke breaks at work during the day? With the Smokescreen Fingerprint Smoking Control System, your nicotine addicted co-workers will just have to sit down at their desk and suffer like the rest of us. The device uses fingerprinting to keep track of who is leaving on a smoke break, when, and for how long. If the smoker doesn’t re-enter the building in time, they will get locked [...]
About three weeks ago, word of an Adobe security flaw began to do the rounds. It has taken Adobe three weeks to finally get around to announcing the problem. The vulnerability allows a hacker to take control of a Windows XP system if it has IE7 installed. Considering the amount of people that run IE7, it is probably quite a lot of systems. The vulnerability exists in Adobe Reader 8.1 (and previous versions) Acrobat Standard, [...]
