American Biometric Company has been developing this technology for a while now, but this version of an identifying mouse is certainly slicker than the last one I saw. It's a basic security device that reads fingerprints as access codes, instead of relying on passwords. Until bad people catch up with the movies and people start stealing fingerprints, this is as secure as you can get. The world seems a little scarier to me when I contemplate the many ways my information is at risk, but I'm trying to keep it in perspective. The trick is to keep on top of the technology as it changes, because that which gives us more access to information, also makes us more vulnerable.
Awareness is half the battle.
Thank heavens there's a wireless way to let you watch over your space in color. Born out of the technology that originally let lights and other basic systems communicate through the power lines in your house, x10 applications are growing. This wireless version lets you keep an eye on your kids or your employees, wherever you like. The enclosed 2.4GHz transmitter can send its signal through walls. A small size lets you put it just about anywhere.
