Porn Detection Stick searches a hard drive for…you know
Just to let you know, one of the reasons why I reported on this device is because I wanted the hits that will occur from those who search for the word “porn” on this site. For those that are looking for porn, beware, because the Porn Detection Stick is going to find you out.
This simple device from Paraben looks like an ordinary USB thumb drive, and, when it is connected to the computer, it will search the hard drive for any pornographic material. It might take a while, as the company says that a 500GB hard drive containing 70,000 images will take an hour and half for a full search.

Driving Simulator from Honda
You know what I think is really hysterical? We have these flight simulators to help out would-be pilots, but when it comes to teenage drivers, we just put them behind the wheel with a driver’s permit.
Why can we not put them in a simulator? After all, pilots who land airplanes for the first time often say: “it was just like the simulator”. If we can give this amount of realism to pilots in training, then why not make a realistic driving simulator?
I am guessing that this is what Honda was trying to do with this driving simulator. If you put your fifteen-and-a-half-year-old behind the wheel, then it’s probably as close to driving on the road as it can be.

Steampunk 4GB USB Drive
Instead of always purchasing a modern USB drive, we thankfully live in a world where people enjoy customizing their electronics. Even better there are select few that offer up their unique creations to be purchased by those of us that are incapable of designing something quite as complex. This steampunk drive will cost you a whole lot more than the average drive, but at least you’ll have something unique.

SteelSeries 6Gv2 keyboard
SteelSeries is a name synonymous with quality gaming peripherals, and it ranks right up there with other players including Logitech and Razer. This time round, the leading manufacturer of gaming peripherals and accessories has taken advantage of its presence at CeBIT to introduce a brand new gaming keyboard in the form of the SteelSeries 6Gv2 keyboard. This model was specially designed with 18-karat gold-plated mechanical switches (don’t think you can pawn this off if you’re in a tight spot though), making sure the keyboard offers quicker reaction times and advanced key combinations that results in more Actions Per Minute and a lifetime more than 10 times that of conventional keyboards. Hmmm, but how does it stack up against its rivals that produce quality gaming keyboards as well? Surely it can’t stand up to the frustrated pounding of fists whenever the more violence-inclined gamer loses a round, eh?

Hands on with the iOmega iConnect
I received the iOmega iConnect last Monday, and it is very hard to write about it without comparing it to the Pogoplug that I covered a few weeks ago.
The iConnect does essentially the same thing as the Pogoplug as it is able to bring USB storage into one’s home network.
You can see the iConnect in the photo as the black box that all the other hard drives are plugged into. The iConnect can be set up in seconds wirelessly with its included router cable and software. When it is plugged into the wall, four USB thumb drivers or even hard drives can be plugged into it.
The user can then access his or her files from these drives from anywhere there is an Internet connected computer.
