TECHNOLOGY TIPS - MISSION IMPOSSIBLE COMES TO TECH
So I was watching Mission Impossible this weekend and I have to admit that they had some nifty little gadgets.
Of course, there has been a fascination of mine to see if I can find those special little items that are unique or have that Sharper Image feel to them. Lo and behold, I found another one.
It's not extremely high-tech but it definitely offers a great way of protecting information. It's called the Personal Pocket Safe USB Drive. The drive has a keypad that requires you to enter a pin code before you can access the it.
Now for the fun stuff, the drive has 256bit encryption. So let's say someone gets a hold of your drive and tries to access that information. If they try to force it open, using the vernacular of Mission Impossible the drive will "self destruct."
To prevent your information from being lost, the drive also comes with online back-up software, so you've got pretty much all bases covered.
