The coolest USB device I have ever seen.

The coolest USB device I have ever seen.

When you want your data really secure.

 

ThinkGeek has more cool USB stuff than I have USB ports, including a turntable (ask your parents what "albums" are), a tape dispenser, a lava lamp, and what I personally think is the coolest, a missle launcher!

Computergear also has cool stuff, like a Simpsons lamp (to go with your Simpsons USB hub), and on the NSFW side, an iPod pole dancer(!?),

Cool. But if you have to key in a password when you plug it into a public computer, what's to prevent a keystroke logger on that computer from grabbing your password???

 

That's the low end ION USB turntable. I got a better one at Amazon.

For cool, how about:



The Dr. Who Tardis 4 port USB hub.



Roboman Webcam

And the ultimate, all time, coolest:



USB Doomsday Device.

Which is out of stock. So be afraid. Be very afraid.

(I wish I had bought the Godzilla USB hub when I had the chance.)

I think this one is cool. Its made by Corsair and it keeps your data safe because its a hardware lock.

Sound effects are optional and are controled via an on/off switch.

It doesn't matter if a public computer has a keystroke logger. So what if they have your password for your Ironkey . . . they won't have physical possession of your Ironkey when you leave, and your Ironkey is what provides the passwords for the individual web sites. [just tell me you aren't using the same passwords for your computer security AND web site logons. ]

How does this protect me against keystroke-logging spyware?

If you plug your IronKey into a computer that has keystroke logging software on it, or if your computer becomes infected with a keystroke logger, you will be protected because the IronKey Password Manager enters your passwords for you into your web pages, instead of you typing them in.

Of course, you could always try to add another layer by using a Hardware Authenticator such as an RSA SecurID, which I already use . .

. . . but, if anyone got ahold of the IronKey, they would probably have the Hardware Authenticator too . . . unless you were to place it a locked briefcase . . . handcuffed to your arm . . . with a bodyguard standing over your shoulder . . . :lol:

In other words, nothing's foolproof. Looks like a good gadget, though, if you must use public computers.

 

Oh. Oh. You want the ultimate coolest geeky USB devices. Try Solid Alliance. Unfortunately I don't read Japanese but I know a sushi USB stick when I see one.

Solid Alliance

They also have the rocket launcher, lava lamp and doomsday USB devices. And a really cool rhinestone mouse. But it's all in Japanese. I guess I'll just have to wait until Thinkgeek is back in stock.
