Il Internet è qualcosa noi tutto l'introito per assegnato.  Surf, giochiamo e vista al nostro svago, ma per alcuno, questa libertà che abbiamo è lontano un gridare dalla loro vita di tutti i giorni.  Chi sono io che parlo?  La Cina.  È stata sa poiché la nascita del Internet che la Cina ha ultimo controllo su che cosa vedete e vi sentite dal Internet.

Questo non importunerebbe tipicamente la maggior parte, ma considerando le 2008 Olimpiadi stanno lanciando oggi, là sono molti ospiti stranieri che non possono usare il Internet il senso che tipicamente.  Ciò è dove “il bastone di libertà„ entra nel gioco.  Il bastone di libertà del dongle del USB, è un azionamento precaricato del USB con tutti i software, programmi di utilità ed incisioni da ottenere intorno alla parete refrattaria grande della parete della Cina.

Il dongle del USB è precaricato con software che assicurerà le comunicazioni di tutto il calcolatore che è scanalato in. Reso disponibile dal randello del calcolatore di caos della Germania, il bastone usa la rete del TOR (il Router della cipolla) per cloak i vostri collegamenti, dirigenti il traffico intorno al mondo tramite i calcolatori anonimi, così evitando la rilevazione.

Il dongle del USB è disponibile per $30 ed è chiaramente un articolo di corsa di dov- per questi anni 2008 Olimpiadi. (più…)

Engadget ha segnalato sulla nuova fortuna del USB da Thanko.  Il dispositivo non-così-intelligente usa una serratura di combinazione di numero delle 3 rotelle che fissa al connettore del USB del vostro azionamento del USB, o niente altro con un connettore del USB.  Anche se questo assomiglia a qualcosa più mantenere la gente onesta onesta come smontaggio della serratura in se non osserva per essere terribile difficile.

La parte divertente siete, se i dati sono quello importante mantenere la cassaforte, non non spendere alcuni minuti che imparano circa la crittografia?  Significo con il più potente software di crittografia da TrueCrypt disponibile per libero, perchè non.  Dà dei calci al a$$ di questa soluzione “dei fissaggi„.

Abbiamo visto l'abbondanza dei dati soluzioni di crittografia for USB, but what about true Digital Rights Management for USB drives and their content? Well, Nexcopy seems to be thinking the same thing. Nexcopy has teamed with TrusCont to offer true DRM to flash drives.

The USB Copy Protection includes the ability to copy protect .exe files and .pdf files. With both formats you can set time limits, password protection, anti-copy and anti-rip protection. In addition, the technology will apply copy and paste restrictions and printing rights to pdf documents. Sounds like real digital rights management to me.

The enhanced USB drive has more in it’s back pocket than just copy protection - which is ground breaking enough - but includes the ability for end-users to configure a USB CD-ROM partition, USB Read Only partition or combination of those plus an Open partition for general read/write use.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the flash drive can be configured again and again with the USB CD-ROM partition or USB Read Only partition so if you’re looking to make your own custom U3 drive, looking to mess around with auto-launch software or need a combination of both for some high end application, this is it.

Nexcopy is offering a TSFD Publisher Kit which is a combination of the USB duplicator plus, TrusCont’s USB copy protection and USB configuration utility along with various bundles of enhanced TSFD USB drives (qty 50, 100, 300, 500+).

I’ve requested a drive to see what this is all about and will report back.

Microsoft developed a USB stick to pluck evidence out of computers at crime scenes.  The USB device is called COFEE (Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor) and has the power to blast through security settings to get the good stuff…and quick.

The COFEE USB devices is ideal for on-site investigation where law-enforcement needs to extract data quickly and accurately.  The Microsoft COFEE contains 150 commands which dramatically cuts down time to gather digital evidence.  It can decrypt passwords and analyze a computer’s (more…)

WiHood is a relatively new service which is the world’s first “virtual laptop” that protects children online [ anywhere & at all times] with the WiHood’s USB bracelet.

The concept is ideal and it appears the user interface, setup and configuration is just as simple.  This is what WiHood is:  A USB bracelet which auto-launches a virtual desktop when connected to any computer.  The virtual desktop runs off the WiHood servers which monitor and update website, programs, virus etc 24/7 for a completely kid friendly computer system.

From personal experience, my kids have trashed my computer - by mistake of course - but it still took time and skill to restore my PC.  The WiHood USB bracelet eliminates this risk because a virtual desktop is all your child can use.  The other issue I have with my kids using “the parent’s PC” is constant maintenance to monitor website, filters and content.  With WiHood, that daunting task is automatically taken care of.

“WiHood protects children, saves parents from purchasing a new PC, and kids love that they have their own “virtual laptop” which stores their pictures, music, homework, etc. and can be worn on their wrist!”

The USB bracelet uses the internal storage to save files, folders, pictures, music etc…but those files are only accessed through the virtual desktop which runs off the WiHood servers.  This means your kids will enjoy all the performance of a PC with the security of a remote server running the underlining PC desktop.

The WiHood is free to try and costs $49 for 6 months service or $100 per year.  Stack that cost up against purchase of a dedicated PC for the kids and the WiHood is the clear choice.

Still interested.  Maybe some more information?  Check out the WiHood FAQ page.  Or their WiHood Virtual Laptop home page.

WiHood was founded in August 2007 and has been honored to be awarded funding from Innovation Norway, a division of the Norwegian government providing capital to the most innovative companies in Norway.

Press Release: Philips Launches New USB Smart Key for Dictation Product Line.

Philips is the first company to offer such a tool, which replaces current dongles and older security codes that had to be manually typed in. The USB Smart Key is now packaged with Philips SpeechExec Pro Dictate and Philips SpeechExec Pro Transcribe, as well as Transcribe software packages.

The USB Smart Key can simply be inserted into a USB port and the software will automatically access the license stored on the key. The license can then be easily transferred to a computer with the touch of a download button and, after download is complete, the key is no longer needed for licensing and users can work on that computer without having to keep and carry a dongle. If a user wishes to work with the dictation software on an office computer as well as a computer at home, the USB Smart Key allows him or her to switch from one computer to another without having to purchase a second license.
