What would everyone here think of a device which was inserted into a USB slot on an Air or Iphone and, when yanked out, would completely disable the computer?
I owned a stun gun and it had a wrist lanyard which was attached to a part of the gun. IF the gun was yanked from your hands, the part would come out of the back, causing the weapon to be completely inoperative. My idea was if a wrist lanyard were attached to a USB device which was an encrypted key to your portable computing device, without which a password was necessary to restore it, were yanked from the computing device via it being snatched from you, the device would go dead. You'd still lose it, but short of charging the case of the device itself and zapping the grabber (wouldn't work), this would at least render the device useless until they either got the USB key from the lanyard around your wrist or the password to restore it. I'm curious whether anyone would use such a gadget, or whether the risks outweigh the benefits. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: [email protected] • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
