6 Coolest USB Flash Drives

1.USB Flash Drive + Bottle Opener:

The TrekStor SB-Stick with Bottle Opener will not only quench your storage thirst with its 25MB/s read speed and 12 MB/s write speed, but is also sure to have you sipping suds at your desk thanks to the bottle opener that’s built into the device’s brushed aluminium housing. A USB 2.0 connector port features at the sober end of the device and storage fans can pick the unit up in 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 GB capacities.

2.Hamburger USB Flash Drive:

Hungry? Get the Hamburger USB Flash Drive ($19.99)and eat up to 1GB of information. This "freshly baked" product will certainly be a conversation starter and a convenient reminder of what you'll be having for lunch.

3.World's Tiniest USB Flash Drive:

Barely bigger than the tip of your pinky, the Pico USB Flash Drive ($24.99) is less than 4mm thick. The polished chrome finish is certainly shiny, but at 8 gigabytes, it’s redonkulously teeny.

4.USB Flash Drive + Lighter:

Electronics and fire have never been friends and you could even say they are essentially sworn enemies. But in the case of the USB Flash Drive Lighter ($50.00)they have decided to call a truce. Long standing differences have been put aside to create a product that is both practical and very unique. This flash drive has an ample 8GB capacity and the lighter is refillable. The USB connector slides out of the bottom of the metal case, using a small slider lever located on the side of the lighter. The lighter has a polished chrome finish and an adjustable flame. Baby, light my flash drive!

5.USB Flash Drive Wrist band:

No longer do you have to have a lanyard around your neck if you want to wear your flash drive around since this USB Flash Drive Wrist band ($13.99)disguises itself as a wristband that comes in six different colors of red, yellow, blue, green, orange and purple. The USB port doubles as the connector to hold the strap together when wearing it and it sounds fairly durable as the catalog page boasts that the drive is shockproof and moisture proof (we’re assuming moisture from sweat).

6.USB Hidden Flash Drive Watch:

Bond, James Bond. For wanna-be spies, the USB Hidden Flash Drive Watch ($49.99) features an ample 4GB capacity USB flash drive that slips neatly into the watch case. Simply remove, add data and then re-insert and you're ready to conduct secret missions to building B on the other side of campus. The watch itself has a Japanese movement, plastic case covered by stainless steel mask with brushed silver finish and convex mineral glass.

FoxL Bluetooth Speaker:
It's a pocket-sized Bluetooth speaker for your MP3 player and a hands-free communication system for your car. Critics love the FoxL speaker, which, though no bigger than an eyeglasses case, transmits sound that's rich enough to please a cranky audiophile. Wirelessly tether it to your cell phone, take it along in the car, and a built-in microphone allows you to handle phone calls on the road. (Note: The Bluetooth streaming feature works on any A2DP-compatible device; Apple has not turned on the protocol for the iPhone so you need to use a standard audio cable.)




Nikon D90:
It's a single-lens reflex camera! It's a single-lens HD video camera! It's two digital cameras in one, and that's what makes this the first camera you should consider if you're ready for a hefty upgrade. With a set of features that will please the most demanding of photo prosumers, the D90 does it all.


Sennheiser MX W1 Wireless Headphones:
Five hundred shekels is a lot to lay out for headphones. But these babies are worth it. The ear buds deliver Kleer Corporation's patented, uncompressed sound, wirelessly. (You attach a transmitter, smaller than a deck of cards, to your sound source — an iPod, TV, stereo or anything else with an out jack then synch the earbuds.) The earbuds and transmitter come in a pocket-sized case that will recharge the unit three times when you're on the road.

4G Technology

4G Technology

4G also called as Fourth-Generation Communications System, is a term used to describe the next step in wireless communications. A 4G system can provide a comprehensive IP solution where voice, data and streamed multimedia can be provided to users on an "Anytime, Anywhere" basis. The data transfer rates are also much higher than previous generations.

The main objectives of 4G are:

1)4G will be a fully IP-based integrated system.
2)This will be capable of providing 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s speeds both indoors and outdoors.
3)It can provide premium quality and high security.
4)4G offer all types of services at an affordable cost.

4G is developed to provide high quality of service (QoS) and rate requirements set by forthcoming applications such as wireless broadband access, Multimedia Messaging, Video Chat, Mobile TV, High definition TV content, DVB, minimal service like voice and data, and other streaming services. 4G technology allow high-quality smooth video transmission. It will enable fast downloading of full-length songs or music pieces in real time. The business and popularity of 4Gmobiles is predicted to be very vast. On an average, by 2009, this 4Gmobile market will be over $400B and it will dominate the wireless communications, and its converged system will replace most conventional wireless infrastructure.

Data Rates For 4G:

The downloading speed for mobile Internet connections is from 9.6 kbit/s for 2G cellular at present. However, in actual use the data rates are usually slower, especially in crowded areas, or when there is congestion in network. 4G mobile data transmission rates are planned to be up to 20 megabits per second which means that it will be about 10-20 times faster than standard ASDL services. In terms of connection seeds, 4G will be about 200 times faster than present 2G mobile data rates, and about 10 times faster than 3G broadband mobile. 3G data rates are currently 2Mbit/sec, which is very fast compared to 2G's 9.6Kbit/sec.

Information Provided by IP Addresses

When you first delve into the computer world, there is a lot that can be confusing. One thing that seems simple but that can be difficult to understand is email. It seems simple to compose and send an email, and it's very easy to read one, but what do you do when you're trying to find out who has been sending you email or visiting the blog that you just made?

One way is to look at the IP address. The IP address is the computer's home address. Every computer, like every building, has an address. The IP address is the address that you use to figure out where that computer lies. It tells you tons of information about the person who is located at the IP address and can help you to figure out who is contacting you through email or visiting your site.

The first thing you need to know is how to find the IP address. If you are receiving emails, you will find the IP address in the header. If you are looking for the IP address of someone who has been visiting your website, you first need to have some sort of a tracker on your website. There are a number of free ones online.

Once you use a search engine to search for the IP Address of the person who is contacting you, the engine will tell you tons of information, including the location of the computer that sent the data and the network that was used. You can find out what time the email was sent, and you may even be able to find out if the person has their own server or if they're using a network server. All of this information is easily available once you use an IP search.

Windows worm being spread through USB memory sticks

Windows worm being spread through USB memory sticks

The Conficker virus is being transferred between machines via external drives, warn experts. USB memory sticks are helping to spread the Windows worm that has infected around 10 million computers worldwide, say security experts. The virus – known variously as Downadup, Conficker, and Kido – is spreading at a rate of one million machines per day, according to anti-virus experts at F-Secure.

The worm, which targets the Windows operating system, is able to bury its way deep into a computer’s software, and makes it hard for users to restore their machine to a safe point before the virus struck. Once installed on a computer, it communicates remotely with hackers’ websites, automatically downloading more malicious software that could further compromise the integrity of the PC. Although security firms have been tracking the worm for months, and Microsoft issued a security patch to combat the virus in October, many users have failed to patch their machines, leaving them vulnerable to attack, especially from new variants of the worm.

Security experts say that the virus is being unwittingly spread by computer users who are using USB memory sticks. The virus is easily transferred from an infected machine to a clean machine if the same USB stick is plugged into each. F-Secure said that the worm takes advantage of the Windows operating system’s “Autoplay” function, which searches for programs stored on removable drives, such as memory sticks. The worm wriggles its way into this process, creating a fake folder on removable drives that users believe they can legitimately open. Once that folder is clicked on, the worm is activated and installed on the computer’s operating system, burrowing its way deep into the machine’s software.

“The replication methods are quite good,” warned Eddy Willems, a security analyst with anti-virus firm Kaspersky Labs. “It’s using multiple mechanisms, including USB sticks, so if someone got an infection from one company and then takes his USB stick to another firm, it could infect that network too. It also downloads lots of content and creating new variants though this mechanism.” Some security experts fear that the rapid spread of the worm is helping to create a giant “botnet” – a series of compromised computers running malicious software that could allow hackers to remotely take control of machines, enabling them to steal login information, security details and other sensitive data.

Computer users are advised to ensure their anti-virus software, operating system and firewall is up to date, and that they have installed a Microsoft patch designed to combat the problem, MS08-067 , which is available from the Microsoft site. There is also a recently issued Microsoft removal tool that may be able to restore machines already infected by the worm.
