A few months ago (more like six now, I think) I lost the cap to my Corsair 16GB Flash Voyager. I read up here you could get a free replacement cap. I sent away for it, and at no cost at all to me they sent me a new one. (They didn't replace the whole drive when I lost that, but I didn't have the nerve to ask, either.)

my birthday coming, so I got new gadget for my toy collection:

http://www.corsair.com/products/padlock2/default.aspx

it is cool, there is no external function needed for the encryption of that, really, the pw can be entered just by the keys on the stick itself. It has an internal goldcap power supply, so one can enter the pw first and then stick it into the computer.
It works there fore on all OS which can read usb stick formated to vfat.

Miegakure: A Puzzle-Platformer in Four Dimensions

For those of you that read Slashdot or XKCD, this is old news. If you don't subscribe to them, you should be ashamed.

I think this is a game we should be watching closely. One performs "simple" tasks where movement in a forth dimension is necessary for completion. The creator suggests that when released, it will be for PC, Mac, and Linux, making a port to PA.c sound all the more reasonable.
