BioMirage Coffer from Syba needs USB key to open

December 24, 2008

The BioMirage Coffer from Syba is equipped with a two-fold protection measure that consists of both fingerprint authentication as well as a USB key. Chances are, you will probably rely on the former much more than the latter simply considering of the convenience involved, although we must confess that having to insert your own USB key is pretty cool as well. The USB key was thrown in as a failsafe measure just in case the biometric sensor loses its effectiveness.

Once you bring home the BioMirage Coffer, you had best ensure the USB key remains safely tucked away somewhere. Too poor that safe is not fireproof, so we wouldn’t recommend that as a storage solution for anything vital.

MvixBox 2-bay Ultra Performance NAS / Media Server

December 22, 2008

The MvixBox 2-bay high performance NAS / media server is a 3-in-1 solution for storing media files, operating as a media server, and facilitating file transfer. These features are already available in other options, such as the DViCo TViX M-6500A, but the MvixBox is a more affordable solution that also offers the bonus of dual drive bays.  The functionality could also be achieved by buying a home PC, installing a server OS onto it, and connecting it to the network. However, chances are that even if you manage to get this working without problems, it would cost quite a bit more than even the DViCo TViX M-6500A. Understanding the needs of small businesses and home users, MvixUSA has come up with a very attractive solution. The MvixBox offers many of the features consumers have been asking for in a network media player.

Here are some of the features that the new system offers:

  • Media server
  • Web disk capability
  • NAS, Torrent sharing and FTP Management
  • DDNS server
  • Web server

Ninja Blowgun and Knife Combo

December 16, 2008

Ninjas are always prepared for battle, but they prefer a sneakier type of attack. So your average knife would not do them much good. But attach a folding blowgun to a small pocket knife and you have a silent attack with a knife standby in case things don’t go quite as well as planned.

The Ninja blowgun and Pocket knife combo consists of 5″ closed and a 3 1/2″ 440 stainless steel blade. Includes 2 pieces of black tubing to make your pocket knife blowgun. Also includes 3 darts and a nylon pouch.

It is priced at $20.

• 8 megapixel camera, auto focus, face recognition with smile detection and blink detection, WDR (wide dynamic range), ASR (advanced shake reduction), GPS geotagging, ISO 1600, WVGA (720×480 pixels) and VGA (640 x 480 pixels) @30fps video recording
• Built-in GPS receiver
• Accelerometer
• DivX playback
• FM radio with RDS
