Summer is long gone and now we are experiencing the bitter chill of winter, but that does not mean you cannot have fun outdoors, right? If you’ve got a voyeuristic streak in you, then the HoverSpy Video Cam R/C Copter might be just your cup of tea after forking out $79.99 for this puppy. Sporting a professional metal body, this unique helicopter comes with a 3-channel control and built-in gyro, also carrying along a tiny embedded video camera that can capture amazing video at your bidding. All it takes is a simple press of a button on the remote and you’re good to go, where another press will also stop recording. All recorded video can then be downloaded over to a computer for future viewing. As long as it is under zero wind conditions, the HoverSpy Video Cam R/C Copter is capable of taking to the air at over 150 feet high. All video will be stored on a microSD memory card, and it has a controlling range of a few hundred feet. At least you can check out just what your neighbor is wearing so that you won’t wear the same thing to the town’s Christmas party the same night to avoid a fashion faux pas.

Password Vault helps your failing memory

Posted: 18 Dec 2010 03:44 PM PST

You know how it is these days – there are just way too many passwords to remember what with numerous user accounts of various social networking sites, emails and what not. Not only that, no longer can you just use “password” as your password, as many sites require a minimum length of characters as well as a healthy mix of numbers and letter. Well, the Password Vault will definitely come in handy, as this smartphone sized device is capable of holding account information for website addresses, usernames, passwords, and ATM PINs securely, storing them for immediate retrieval.

It will work differently from password information that is stored on a computer, since your passwords are stored offline in the vault’s memory. This makes sure that sensitive information within can never be compromised – not unless someone close to you nicks it away and uses brute force hacking to figure out its content. The Password Vault comes with a slide out keyboard, where you can also key in additional text notes and accounts after, surprise surprise, entering an initial password. Capable of storing up to 400 account records, it will certainly do its bit in mitigating the risky practice of leaving passwords on notes under keyboards or using a master password for every single account in your possession.

Buttons can be used to scroll between accounts for display on the LCD screen. Just in case you happen to have your precious Password Vault misplaced, lost, or stolen, all it takes are five unsuccessful attempts to access your accounts and the device will lock itself for 30 minutes, making sure your passwords remain safely protected. Pressing the reset button does exactly what it says – all data within will be permanently erased, so hopefully there is some sort of fail safe procedure there that requires you to key in yet another password to confirm the reset, otherwise the itchy fingers of an inquisitive kid might just do in your entire password collection.

At least it sports a built-in flash memory that ensures all of your passwords are retained in memory even when the CR2032 battery required is dead and has to be changed. At $49.95 a pop, this is certainly shaping up to be a pretty neat Christmas present for anyone who uses the computer a whole lot!
