For those who need to take highly secure information with them, the new Kington Self-Destruct Privacy Flash Drive could be the ticket. After 25 failed passwords the USB drive “melts” the data.
This can be great for stopping unauthorized access, but, what if someone slips it into there pocked and does the 25 invalid attempts on purpose. There goes your data!
The Show on 10, a new Microsoft initiative reports on a private school in Seattle where every student has a Tablet PC. Tablets in School is one of the latest videos from this up-beat daily program.
I think this is a great idea. The challenge for business will be to be ready to allow these students to make use of all the technologies they have been exposed to when they enter the workforce.
This has got to be the one of the most ridiculous things going on in our world. A story in Reuters Go to bed married, wake up divorced reports on an India couple who’ve been caught up in a very peculiar Islamic law related to marriage.
Sohela Ansari told friends that her husband Aftab had uttered the word “talaq,” or divorce, three times in his sleep, according to the report published in newspapers Monday.
When local Islamic leaders got to hear, they said Aftab’s words constituted a divorce under an Islamic procedure known as “triple talaq.” The couple, married for 11 years with three children, were told they had to split.
The religious leaders ruled that if the couple wanted to remarry they would have to wait at least 100 days. Sohela would also have to spend a night with another man and be divorced by him in turn.
I can not believe how some societies have twisted the sanctity of marriage.

Now RIM can get on with improving their technology to meet the challenge from Microsoft.
