LG's Biometric and Vaccine USB drive


Many people knows that, what is biometric devices do? Like taking fingerprint scanner or eye(retina) scanner like that, and the the most common reason for to have these devices is for security purposes. The LG has come up with its two new USB Flash drives, named as LG Biometric USB drive and LG Vaccine Drive.

Lets take the the first one that is LG Biometric USB drive, it actually is able to read the fingerprint through its scanner and provide the user most of the security need. You can store upto 10 fingerprints on it, in case you want to share it with somebody else, or use it on all of your fingers. It can also be password protected for the most worried person.

Now the second one is LG Vaccine Drive, this drive comes with installed antivirus software in it, so you don't have to worry about spreading viruses from one computer to another computer. The company don't have revealed the name of the antivirus that they are going to use in it, but they said that every customer will get a two year license with it. And the terms to extending license is not revealed yet.

Future is going to be highly secured, but too much worry creates too much stress.

TwinMOS proves that people loves shine


I’ve carried many USB drives over the last few years. My first was a very boring 128MB Memorex stick. They didn’t really make them fancy back then, it was cool enough to be carrying one at all. Like the rest of my flash drives, it was likely lost or broken. Needless to say, I’ve seen a lot of them. I’m not really sure why, but Mobile Disk P1 from TwinMOS really caught my eye.

I suppose that it’s human nature to be drawn to things that are shiny. I can’t really explain it, but if you see a glint of something out of the corner of your eye, you just instinctively want to look. That’s why people are bound to notice this particular flash drive. It has a mirrored surface, and six multicolored LEDs that light up when it is plugged in.

Just looking at this, you get the impression that there’s more than meets the eye. Unfortunately, the most exciting thing you’ll find is the retractable USB plug. Pricing and availability are not currently known on this product.

USB Lighter doubles as Flash Drive



I thankfully never took up smoking, as I’m perfectly content sticking to my addiction to the caffeinated beverages. However, the countless smokers out there will no doubt agree that it’s a pain to always keep a lighter on hand. Some get small ones that they can fit in their cigarette pack, while many just keep one in their pocket. Unfortunately for those geeky smokers out there, that usually means having a lighter and a flash drive floating around in your pocket all day. Why not get something that combines the two?

I’m sure you’re wondering how you would manage to cram a USB flash drive into a lighter and still find room for the lighter fluid. That might be cause for concern, were this to actually use a flammable liquid, however, it does not. Rather, it builds on the same concept as the lighter you find in most cars. It uses small resistance coils powered by a rechargeable battery. Here’s where it gets really fun, in order to recharge the battery, you plug it into an available USB port. You won’t have to worry about remembering to plug it in for recharging all the time because it doubles as a flash drive, which you will no doubt use regularly. Unfortunately, if you’re looking to purchase one of these, you’ll be sad to hear that it is currently only a concept design.
