I remember watching episodes of Jonny Quest and seeing flying pods being used by the bad guys to hunt down Jonny and Hadji. I remember thinking to myself – man, those are so cool I can’t wait for the day we have those in real life! Well, according to a story in Wired, that day may have come with the Vertipod, a propeller-powered personal hover aircraft that operates like a helicopter in “ground effect.”
We’re in an age of portability in our gadgets. USB flash drives are the rage, as are other forms of portable storage like memory cards and MP3 players that can double as a storage drive. The only problem with these small, portable gadgets is the high incidences of loss or theft. If you use them to carry around sensitive, personal information on them like a lot of people do, what do you do when that happens to you?
The ihound Software is a free service (for up to 3 different USB drives, after that it’s a small fee) that will allow you to monitor when your portable drives have been connected to another computer. From the website: Read the rest of this entry »
This video camera is definitely amazing to look at – not only does it record video, it captures audio as well and is small enough to be hidden in a chewing gum pack!
Because of its minute size this unit is ideal for covert filming. It comes with built-in Lithium-ion batteries that are charged via the USB adaptor charging cable that comes with the unit to give up to 4 hours of record time. A 1GB card (not included) will store up to 33 hours of video and audio. Video and audio recordings can be played back on a PC or a cellular phone.
You’ll need to fork out a hefty £295 in order to fulfill your voyeuristic tendencies though.
Remember that great scene in Aliens 2 where Ripley wants to help and hops into a exoskeleton loader and picks up a pallet of military equipment that weighs hundreds of pounds? The Catepillar style exoskeleton does all the work, but Ripley’s controlling the arms and legs like they’re extentions of her own. Well, with the Sarcos Military Exoskeleton, that day is here.
The Lipstick Recorder plays on the strength of women being better at snooping and spying around.
This cute little device, designed by ‘Q’, looks exactly like lipstick and is ideal for secretly passing messages from spy to spy.

It retails for £7.45 after taxes.
The Voice Scrambling Mobile Phone might look like a standard cellphone, but it is actually a voice recorder. The moment you record your message, you can choose to switch the “phone” to either Super-fast scramble or Super-slow scramble, making it difficult for anyone to decipher your messages should they actually get their hands on it. Heck, it is even equipped with a mirror that enables you to check your six just in case you’re paranoid about being followed. The Voice Scrambling Mobile Phone retails for £8.48 after taxes.
When I was young I idolized James Bond. He got to go on top-secret missions, had beautiful women and always got the bad guy. Most importantly though, Q always hooked him up with the best gadgets to use when out on assignment. While you won’t see most of the gear he used on the market these days, here is one device that’s worthy of 007. The CX-008 GSM SIM Card Spy Ear may have a strange name, but it would be most useful when you need to listen in on a conversation remotely.
