Some Cool USB Toys

Not meant to be a product plug, but these folks have some cool stuff...

PC on a USB Stick Fights Child Pornography
The US 9th Circuit of Appeals recently made a ruling to allow police to search computer hard drives for child pornography if the PC owner is found to have subscribed to sites selling illegal images. To search a PC without knowing the password, the police can now turn to the Computer on a Stick Pro (COS).

The COS is a USB drive its own bootable operating system. To use it the police simply plug the COS into a vacant USB port on the suspect computer and allow the PC to reboot using the COS operating system, bypassing Windows passwords. Once booted the COS allows the files on the attached computer system to be viewed and copied to the USB COS hard drive.
