With hackers, data pirates, and nasty bits of malware drinking all of our respective milkshakes, ones computer privacy is becoming a top priority, which is where the SplashID Key Safe comes in.

Cleverly styled as a key to fit right on your keychain without screaming "Geek!", the Key Safe is an encrypted 2GB flash drive that allows you to store all your account numbers, passwords, and miscellaneous important info in one convienent and portable place.

Upon being placed in a USB drive, the Key Safe runs its preinstalled database software that keeps track of, and allows you to edit, any information or add/delete any files (like those bachelor party photos of you with that stripper with an Adam's apple), without leaving a trace on the computer you're working on. A password prompt (which can't be circumvented or changed), at start-up, insures that if your Key Safe is lost or stolen it won't compromise your personal data.

So do yourself a big favor and ditch that Post-It note attached to your monitor, and make the thieves work for it a little.

When I was growing up I harbored a great affinity for the James Bond films. And a personal favorite part of those movies for me, was seeing Q roll out some absurdly awesome gadgets that he filled some supercar with. Sadly, if you try to duplicate that by adding some side-winder missiles or an ejector seat of your own, you'll probably end up on some sort of watch-list.

Instead, maybe you should look into the RS82B DIY Remote Car Starter from Bulldog Security, an affordable way to add some novel gadgetry to your ride, without having to endure XZhibit laughing in your face.

When I opened up the RS82B I was able to ...There's more

Got a few bad gambling tips (the Lakers couldn't possibly get swept...) and are ducking some rather unsavory characters? Instead of brushing up on your Portuguese and investing in lots of sunscreen, you could install the Archerfish Solo surveillance camera system, and shack up while you wait for the heat to die down.

The Archerfish Solo is a surveillance system with a camera small enough not to make you look like a conspiracy nut, but visible enough to scare off doorbell ditchers, would-be burglars, and punks with lots of free time.

It includes a built-in DVR and a floodlight adapter that records your neighborhood’s various goings-on, 24-7. The most impressive feature is the Archerfish Solo's ability to ...There's more

3D is no longer relegated to just the big screen, and is now captivating audiences at home via new 3D capable televisions, video game consoles, and computer graphics cards. Since the entertainment industry is taking 3D so seriously, maybe it’s time that you did as well and picked up a pair of your own worthwhile 3D shades. Take, for example, these Marchon3D EX3D glasses.

The Marchon3D EX3Ds do away with those uncomfortable plastic loaner pairs they hand out in the theaters, that could be crawling with MRSA, Staph or some other form of viral unpleasantness. (You might be thinking I’m being too critical, but check out the theater floor next time and get back to me.) Then there's that horrible "Poindexter on a date" look you have to fight every time you take her to the latest 3D flick.

Instead, they give you a ...There's more


Got a job to do and just can't seem to get enough light where you need it? And no matter how you try to prop it, your flashlight just can't seem to shine on the problem? Aim a Flexit Light at it.

Made of thin, flexible silicone, and studded with 16 high-output, wide angle, intense LEDs, the Flexit's Shape-Loc frame will not only hold whatever shape you twist, bend, fold or wrap it into, the neodynium magnets and hang loop will hold it firmly in place, no matter where you need to let there be light. Three light modes let you shed light in low, medium and high beam. It's like a 7" x 13" battery-operated bath mat flashlight.

Got a little gung-ho during a game of Wii Bowling and ended up spearing your massive flat-screen? Well instead of being stuck wasting your time on useless pursuits like reading or talking to your family, you can pick up the EyeTV Hybrid from Elgato and stay tuned in via your computer.

Compatible with Mac or PC, the EyeTV is a TV tuner stick (smallest in the country) that plugs into any USB port. It has a cable outlet to receive any digital, analog, or composite signal available, allowing you to change channels with a simple mouse click, or via the included remote.

The EyeTV’s set-up was incredibly speedy -- probably around the length of a commercial break. The only real wait was to allow the tuner to compile all the different available signals (many of which might not be available regularly on your cable box), but even that didn’t take more than 20 minutes, tops.

One of the EyeTV Hybrid’s most impressive features is ...There's more

Getting your recommended 7-8 hours of sleep but still feel like you slept in the gutter when you wake up? Then maybe it’s not the quantity but rather the quality of the rest you’re getting that’s the problem.

You have very few options when it comes to measuring how well you sleep, either spend a measly $5000 a night on a polysomnogram at a specially designed medical sleep center or you can spend significantly less on the SleepTracker.

The SleepTracker is a watch that you wear while you’re in the land of slumber that contains precise receptors capable of measuring your breathing and heart rate in order to identify "key waking moments," that, if you wake up during one, should provide you with that refreshed "ready to fight a bear" feeling. (Note: you probably won’t want to do that.)

It also provides ...There's more

As soon as the weather warms, it'll be time to roll the bike out of the garage and get on the road. And taking your girl for a weekend ride is a lot more fun when you can talk to her during the ride. ("Wait, what?" I know, but just go with it.)

The new G4 PowerSet makes it easy not only to talk to her during the ride, but communicate with up to three other riders, take calls from your cell phone, or listen to music on your enabled MP3 player. And if you don't have one of those, it's got a built-in FM radio.

The handsfree, biker-friendly PowerSet with voice-recognition also lets you ...There's more

Who says overblown athletes and egomaniacal action stars are the only ones who can get a miniature, cartoonish version of themselves to display proudly and oh so unhumbly on their mantle?

With the advanced technology of 3D laser printing, now even us non-celebrities can be immortalized forevermore, for around $75, in hand-painted resin with Sculpteo, an online 3D printing service.

All you do is upload a front and side shot of your head, list any clothes or accessories you want your mini-me to wear and hold, and they'll send you a rendering of what your model will look like. Once you approve it, your not-at-all-creepy tiny version of yourself will arrive at your door within 10 days. There's gotta be a Stephen King novel in here somewhere...
