Who designed this camera is a genius or at least a funny person, depends on how you’ll see this.
It looks so realistic but it’s just a fake security camera well designed to imitate perfectly a real one.

Available at ThinkGeek.com, the Dummy Security Camera with Blinking LED will keep most of the unprofessional thieves at distance, at least for a while.


It has an adjustable angle bracket, security stickers, a real cable and the warning signals to give it a realistic look, while the LED will flash for up to 2 years if powered by 2 AA batteries.





The housing material is a weatherproof anodized aluminum and it all measures 6" x 2 1/4" x 2 1/2".
ThinkGeek offers it a price of $14.99.

The new service launched by Free Rider Web Hosting called Protected Registration is meant to protect domain names at a cost of $29.95 per year and consists of 5 protection levels.
These levels protect against domain transferring and in the same time provide relevant information to the Internet users searching for information about the domain.


Domain Ownership Protection is in charge with keeping the domain up for one year after the owner stops renewing it, and during this time the domain will point to a parked page until the owner renews it.


Deadbolt Transfer Protection is a full protection layer against accidental and malicious transfers, maintaining the domain locked in the account offering the highest level of security, unlike regular domain locking that occurs at the registry level.

Ownership Protection Reports releases the annual domain status report and email updates, while Private Registration allows customers to register their domains via Domains by Proxy, which displays the information when someone searches data related to the domain, keeping customer’s information private.


Business Registration is the last protection level that lets customers choose which information to display when someone searches for the domain, and these include website, phone number and hours of operation.


Simon Drain, CEO of Free Rider Web Hosting, was proud to announce the releasing of this new service declaring that "The Protected Registration service is one of the most comprehensive tools we have seen for ensuring that a domain remains in the customer's ownership and provides useful information for people searching for details on the domain. Protected Registration is sure to be an invaluable service for both new and existing customers."

Apricorn is producing and designing PC storage solutions since 1983 and has become a leader in the industry, after becoming the world’s first provider of third-party memory modules for portable computers.


Their latest product is an easy-to-use universal hard drive adapter called DriveWire, which offers a USB interface to virtually any 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch PATA/IDE or SATA (notebook or desktop) hard drive.
In the process of transferring your data from a notebook PC to a hard drive, DriveWire is a simple solution that comes with the Upgrade Suite, including cloning software for both PC and Mac.


EZ Gig II and Shirt Pocket's SuperDuper! Are two awarded bundled software for Windows and Mac respectively.

To transfer your data to a new hard drive, you need to attach the new 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch HDD to the right connector on DriveWire’s cable, and then connect the AC power adapter in the USB cable.


The next step is to boot up the PC via Upgrade Suite bootable CD and clone the old drive onto the new one.


DriveWire has a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps through USB 2.0.
What you need to have in order to use it includes a Pentium II processor, Apple G3 or later, 32MBs RAM, USB, FireWire, and a CD-ROM/CD-R/RW drive. The operating system needs to be Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Mac OS X 10.X.


The hard drive cloning is usually a long and annoying process but with DriveWire that has so small dimensions and a nice look things seems simpler.
At least this is the image Apricorn created for its product, and besides that, DriveWire is available at a nice price of just $39.99.
