The Name's Bond, James Bond...


Sex, cars and rock n' roll.... ok, maybe not rock n' roll, but the first 2 arent half bad! We've all ( us men ) wished at some point of time or the other that we could live the life of 007. Strangely enough, it's the gadgets that make us go "ooohh" and not the women, well most of the time anyway ;-) .

So can you pass up on the opportunity to own one of these "devices" ? Well, say hello to the kingston data traveler elite privacy edition self-destructing flash drive.... phew now that's a mouth full.

We know there are plenty of "secure" flash drives out there, but face it: if someone is really determined to get at your data, they'll probably figure out a way. That's where Kingston's Data Traveler Elite Privacy Edition comes in. The 4GB flash drive encrypts all data with 128-bit AES, and then adds an extra layer of security: a self destruct feature. If anyone tries to use a brute-force attack to guess your password, the drive will automatically erase itself after 25 wrong guesses. Of course, if you have a really easy password, and a data thief can figure it out in under 25 guesses, you're out of luck. For the rest of us, this could be a good solution for keeping on-the-go info out of the wrong hands.

Surf Junky....

Well a lot of you have heard what surf junky is all about.... a way to "surf n earn" as they put it. Essentially what you do is create an account with them and they "refresh" multiple website in your browser window, paying you a standard hourly rate, now Surf Junky hasn't been honouring their end of the bargain by paying out, atleast that what a a few dozen sites / blogs i've run into say. So i'm conducting a little experiement. For those of you who are interested please create an account with them and let me know in the event they dont pay you. Here's how....
