DataTraveler Secure is waterproof

post from Ubergizmo on 12 October 2006 01:10:48 AM. © Ubergizmo

DataTraveler Secure is waterproof Kingston has added another member to its DataTraveler family with the new DataTraveler Secure. Aside the normal protection against unauthorized viewers courtesy of 256-bit AES hardware encryption, the DataTraveler Secure is water resistant up to four feet of water, keeping it safe from accidental spills and even being soaked in the rain. This means you can still salvage your data should the DataTraveler Secure ever end up in the toilet bowl by accident. Kingston decided to go ahead with a metal case for this new USB 2.0 drive. Read and write speeds are rated at 24MB/s and 10MB/s respectively. The new DataTraveler Secure drives come in 512 MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB.

post from Ubergizmo on 12 October 2006 01:00:07 AM. © Ubergizmo

Red Motorola RAZR coming your way No, the Red Campaign is not some communist movement in Russia, but it is actually an organization which Bono of U2 fame and Bobby Shriver started in order to raise awareness for The Global Fund by developing crimson-colored versions of various products just as how pink products are associated with raising cancer awareness. The Motorola RAZR will come in blood red for the Sprint CDMA network and will retail for $289.99. Features remain the same as the vanilla version, including the 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and a microSD memory card slot. The Red RAZR will be released next month, so make sure you spend your money wisely during the busy holiday season by doing a little charity.

TiVo Series3 DRM Glitch: No HBO For You!

post from Gizmos for Geeks :: Whoever Has The Most Toys Wins! | on 12 October 2006 12:53:14 AM. © Gizmos for Geeks :: Whoever Has The Most Toys Wins! |

According to this article at CNET, if you connect a TiVo Series3 to a JVC A/V receiver via HDMI you will uncover a DRM glitch presenting you with an error mentioning that viewing is not permitted!While tests confirmed that the HDMI output on the Series3 passed all video and audio to various HDTVs installed. The problem occurs when using A/V switching equipment such as receivers with HDMI switching (and currently this glitch has only occured while trying to access content while switching through JVC receivers such as the older RX-D702 and RX-D411). Considering the TiVo Series3 does not ship with TiVo To Go features (Who killed TiVo To Go), the only way to archive your recordings on a TiVo Series3 are to record the programs real-time to a VCR or DVD Recorder.You can learn more about the wonders of TiVo's DRM here.

RDX QuikStor offers new backup media

post from Ubergizmo on 12 October 2006 12:37:08 AM. © Ubergizmo

Using tape devices is one of the main methods that many organizations still use to backup their data, but the process is a slow and ardous one. Using hard drives is out of the question for small to medium companies due to the cost. Thankfully, the RDX QuikStor could fit in comfortably as combines the strength of both hard drives and tape, offering a 30MB/s transfer rate in a disc-based storage device that comes with removable cartridges. The QuikStor can last for up to 10 years of average use and uses either a 3.5" or 5.25" internal drive which is connected to the hose via SATA or any other external USB drive bay. Initial QuikStor cartridges come in capacities of 40GB, 80GB, and 120GB. You can pick up the RDX QuikStor drives and cartridges for $354 and $139 upwards respectively.
