The folks behind Thanko likely do a lot of spying from what we can tell from these so-called gadgets such as tie camera, watch camera and underwater cam. They now come up with hiding a pinhole camera behind a shirt button. This is by far the best device from Thanko will let you carry out covert surveillance without risking exposing yourself. In comparison, the tie is just silly and the the watch is just somewhat inconvenient in use.
Thanko’s Spy Button Camera carries 4GB with a mini-USB receptacle, and has the ability to shoot video at VGA at 15fps or to snap pics at 1280 x 1024. The integrated battery can last up to three and a half hours. Here’s the best part: the Thanko comes with a ring to wirelessly remote control power, video recording and still shot capture. Between all the other so-called spycams, this one is worth dropping 6600 yen ($68 USD).

Maxtor BlackArmor that made its debut at the beginning of 2008 is a full disk encryption external drive. When the product series was handed over to Seagate, it receives massive software overhual, but shares the same chassis with FreeAgent Go, measuring just 5″ x 3″ x 0.5″. The BlackArmor PS 110 USB 2.0 drive is now in black, lending a more professional image than its colorful sibling.
In addition to full-system & file-based backup via scheduled or manual backup method for PCs, Seagate includes a very interesting “Try and Decide” feature that allows you to download and install new software titles or open email attachments in a protected partition so you can roll back the changes. Say, if you are installing some freeware and encounter a virus or malware, it’s as easy as hitting “stop” and let Seagate software to revert to the last known condition after a restart. This alone is pretty unique, but it doesn’t seem like the

Here’s a little DIY project for your Independence Day weekend. Instructables has provided a very detailed instructions on how to turn a perfect good cigar into a flash drive with glowing LED. The materials needed include a thick cigar; a very small thumbdrive; a pair of red LEDs; a 10k resistor; wood primer; tape; and some very thin paper. For tools, you need cutter, drills, X-Acto knives set, soldering iron, desolder kit, and hot melt gun as well as glue.
In a nutshell, procedures are to bore out the cigar, prime the internal leaves, gut the flashd rive, connect to the LED, insert flash drive components into the cigar body, and lastly glue the ends. The guy started this obviously has too much time on his hand. Personally, we would rather watch the July 4th parade.
