SimpleTech has created a 64Gb solid state drive. It measures 2.5″ which is about the size of a small harddrive. Solid state drives are useful in a number of ways due to having no moving parts which allows for it to be used in harsher conditions such as heat, shock, vibration, altitude and humidity to name a few. The drive comes in an impact resistant aluminium alloy case. The drive allows for unlimited read cycles and 2 million write cycles and has a 10 year data retention.

Solid state drives recently have started to become worthy competitors in the storage arena and with 64Gbs of data storage, this will allow for more data to be carried around with out the fear of breaking the drive.

I have had a projector now for a few years and the biggest problem with it is the quality of screen. Good ones cost a bomb and cheap ones just distort the picture because they are not flat and have creases in them or even just fall down. This is where the screen paint can be handy. If you have a spare wall handy then get your self some Mighty Brighty. All you need to do is measure out the screen dimensions and paint with the set of paints on to the wall. A number of kits are available starting at $190 all the way up to $580. For the lower version you get a base and top coat. The middle version ads some gray tinting and also provides borders that can be attached to change the size of the screen. The most expensive version is basically paint for the whole wall so that it is the same colour of the screen and doesnt stand out when not used.

With storage on the increase in USB flash drives, we tend to carry more and more sensative information around with us and often without thinking about the greater risk of a device being stolen. More often then not your data is worth far more then the actual USB flashdrive it’s self. There is no doubt that encryption is needed. Most people tend not to be security types though and wouldnt know what encryption is. The Privacy Drive helps with this by including encryption software right on the flash drive it’s self. When you plug in the drive it prompts you to enter a password. No password = no data. The model shown has 1Gb of storage capacity which is not huge, but at the same time, enough to hold sensative information that you really do not want others to get a hold of. Protection is provided by 256bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). The flash drive runs at USB 2.0 speeds and ensures fast file transfers.

If you are a heavy sleeper then the Sonic Bomb Alarm clock is for you. The clock features an adjustable volume alarm which can shout out at 113 decibels. Like me, you are now wondering what that means. Basically a jackhammer is about 100 decibels. I hope that puts it in to perspective for you. Not only is the sonic bomb a noisy clock, it is actually a shaking clock by the way of a bed shaker which you put under your matress. Having this ultra mean combination of noises and vibrations there is no doubt that this would wake up the heaviest of sleepers.

The Sonic Bomb is available from ThinkGeek for $39.99
