Do you have a desk full of business cards that keep getting coffee rings on them? You can either go for the some what hi-tech solution of a business card scanner or if you prefer a more traditional office look how about this business card filing cabinet.

Sky Harbor International Airport was the first in the US that undertook the task of testing a new body-scanning machine, where if proved successful in daily use, could potentially replace the metal detectors which passengers walk through at airports. Thursday afternoon marked the day and time where security officials started sending passengers through the full-body scan machine at the airport’s Terminal 4 on a test basis. This new body scanning machine utilizes radio waves to detect foreign objects, creating an image based on energy that is reflected from the body. This digitally composed image is then viewed by an operator in a private screening room, where the faces of those being screen have been blurred out so that their privacy will be preserved.

So as mentioned, I’ ordered and received my Toshiba Tablet PC,

well it’s here! I want to be careful of what I load so it stays light, mean and useful.

Its loaded with a CD-R/DVD, loads of RAM and power, built in thumb print scanner and SD card reader. Best of all, a wonderful stylus that allows me to draw on the screen. It just rocks.

The thumb print scanner seemed useless, until I realized that my ridiculously long password is a thing of the past, I just need to swipe my finger,, I’m starting to like that convenience.

As for the stylus control, it could be a tad tighter, but it’s still miles better than even the best Wacom pad (trust me, I’ve been using them for years!)

The SD card reader being built in is just great, it’s already saved me from having to go home with loaded cards, I just blast em in there and keep taking pictures!

Here is the software I’ve loaded so far (you have to keep reading).

Security in public places and access points have just received a boost with the VisionAccess 3D Face Reader. This unique device was especially designed to control access to different parts of a building while strengthening overall security, offering a quick and easy user positioning for simple use and rapid authentication in under a second. The VisionAccess 3D Face Reader is made from a real-time 3D surface scanner that works in invisible near-infrared light, making it suitable for both identification and verification purposes.

The most expensive electronic gadgets available at Amazon and with any relation to USB are printers and scanners, in this post I will try to offer a small presentation of the expensive USB scene at Amazon with images and prices.

• To start the party we got a big Panasonic Document Scanner codenamed KV S3105C, it can scan lots of pages with different sizes and the final result is always great, at least that is what I expect after paying $25,000. Other features of the Panasonic Scanner include USB2.0 and SCSI support, Long paper scanning; Multi Color Dropout; MultiStream Output; Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection and more…
