Review: The SAFE – Encrypted Info Vault on a USB Drive

2 Comments / giveaways, Portable, Reviews / By /

The SAFE Encrypted Data VaultSecure USB flash drives seems to be a GfG meme these days, so it’s fitting that we review one such product in more depth.

The SAFE from Life Link International is an encrypted 2GB USB thumb drive that comes pre-loaded with over 40 forms on which you can enter personal information. The main point of The SAFE is, as the name suggests, an electronic safe to store important personal data. It isn’t really meant to be a general storage thumb drive.

LOK-IT Secure USB Flash Drive encrypts and authenticates

LOK-IT Secure USB Flash Drive

Just today, I was explaining to someone why they needed to encrypt or at least password-protect their USB flash drive. There is one simple, overarching reason – if you lose it, someone else has easy access to all the data on your thumb drive, and they’re easy to lose/forget about. …

Emergency USB Charger – for phone, MP3 player, etc.

1 Comment / Gizmo of the Day, Phones, Portable / By /

Emergency Charger for iPhone, iPod, Mobile Phone, etcHere’s another emergency USB charger, this one powered by 2 AA batteries. Not a bad deal for under $10, and it includes a tiny built-in LED light for grins.

However, I can’t say I love the idea of using batteries. I’d rather have it either use a rechargeable battery or even better, be solar rechargeable (like the iTech SolarCharger).

Extend your Computer’s Display via a USB-to-DVI Adapter

1 Comment / Audio/Video, Home Theater, Computers, Gizmo of the Day / By /

Gefen USB-to-DVI HDIf you’d like to extend or mirror your display from your computer on multiple monitors, but you’re maxed out at 1 or2 (DVI/VGA) video outputs, then you should take a look at a USB to DVI adapter.

This particular one from Gefen  plugs into any free USB port on your computer then into a standard DVI-D cable and into a monitor or other HD display/TV. You can now do things like display on resolutions up to 2048×1152, rotate your display, and use an external display as the main display of a laptop.

On Windows PCs for example, with the driver installed, you can use the standard Windows Display Properties to manipulate your display. This adapter is also compatible with Mac OS X.

It’s not cheap, especially if you want to mirror to more than 1 display (up to 6). You can also take a look on Amazon.com for similar USB to DVI adapters.

USB Cell Batteries

1 Comment / Gizmo of the Day, Miscellaneous / By /

USB Cell Batteries I have a love/hate relationship with rechargeable batteries. On one hand I love being able to power my myriad of gadgets that take AAs and not having to toss away the bunches of alkaline batteries and caustic chemicals into landfills. On the other hand, you have bunches of plugs, ports, sockets and bays for the various chargers and sometimes you replace the recharger rendering the rechargeable useless or you simply forget to charge the batteries after play and have to wait to play next time while the batteries are charged.

With these rechargeable, you only need a USB port as the battery charges through USB! This is great for not losing those chargers or charging on the go.

Now, when your batteries are flatlining, pop the cap, and jam ’em into your nearest ubiquitous USB port. Whether it’s on your computer, laptop, monitor or powered USB hub, all you need is 250mA of juice from your universal serial bus, and a little patience. In just a few hours, you’ll have 1300mAH of power!

Yoda Desk Protector Protect desk this will… the Yoda Desk Protector energizes using your computer’s USB port and protects your desk against the Sith and your boss’. If one of the bad guys comes around, Yoda fires up his lightsaber and first warns them to back off. Back off you will… or Yoda will slice your head off using his green lightsaber.

The Yoda Desk Protector comes complete with a super-long USB cable, so even if your last remaining port is way in the back of your tower, Yoda can still be out front where he’s needed. His motion sensor will detect movement between 6 and 9 feet away depending on the lighting in your office. While you’re sitting at your desk you can keep him in silent mode so he doesn’t drive you nuts with his nuggets of wisdom. You can only take so much Jedi Master before you go insane, after all…
