If the Japanese have their way, they WILL be.
LOL at the video. That is something Lovecraft would have come up with. Or Maybe Cyriak.
While we're speaking of power-tripping parasites, I fully expect our congresspeople show the appropriate righteous indignation and immediately call a hearing on the matter, maybe even pass legislation which clamps down on the out of control media industry.
Maybe the next version could have a small box to indicate password quality, as well. If you try to use a crap password the program will tell you. I know some people who really need that.
Just bought a Novo 7 Basic running Honeycomb. This is going to be a fun and useful little toy.
You are being evil, Google.
"...when one DragonBot learns something, all of the other DragonBots learn it too."
Let the UMG death spiral begin. I'll bring the popcorn.
Yeah, but that logo is obsolete - no true fan would be caught with an outdated logo.
He's already got his next job lined up at Kodak.
Points taken. And I did misunderstand your reason for mentioning your employer. My bad.
Yeah, it just seems to me like this product is overkill; it's made for dweebs who are demanding attention. This is a shiny, anodized bike-lock solution for people who really demand something more discrete and professional. If you must have a hardware lock, why not just use a row of DIP switches on the side?
(late edit) "...both personal and work-related..." I meant. I guess the secret is out.
If I truly had something worth hiding, I would rather have something less conspicuous. This thing is for attention whores. If you really have secrets to keep, the last thing you would want to do is advertise the fact with a padlocked USB key, or a briefcase handcuffed to someone's wirist... unless you are already in…
It's also a major single point of failure, which you may ultimately regret. From experience, I think it is better to carry a single drive which can be read on all the systems that you deal with, or, better, carry a drive for each system. These days, multiple drives draw less attention than a single big, honking…
Then they would have developed AI and created the world's first Bolo.
This is for high school show-offs. Nothing screams "I've got a secret!" like a massive lock on a USB drive, which means now have only half a secret. Also, the lock will not prevent the theft or physical destruction of the drive.
Well, know we now, or something like that.
