iTunes Signature Maker
If you get stumped every time somebody asks you what kind of music you listen to, here’s the tool for you: The iTunes Signature Maker.
This handy little application scours through your iTunes library and makes a mishmash of songs (by most listened to or highest rated) in the form of a 30-second (or more) clip.
Mechanical Hand Plays Classical Piano
Seventeen bucks for a mechanical hand that can play classical pieces? Is there a matching left hand?
The SnoopStick
If you find the SnoopStick (pictured above) plugged into any computer you use, beware. Here is yet another device that increases my privacy paranoia.
Here are its major features (from website):
Monitor all web site access.
Works with all browsers and web enabled programs.
Monitor both sides of all “instant messenger”
communications.
Works with all popular IM programs.
Monitor all email access (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) to see who and
when emails were received from and sent to.
Monitor activities in real time, or retrieve activity logs
from recent activity. SnoopStick records everything, whether
you are monitoring in real time or not.
Store up to 12 months of activity logs directly on your
SnoopStick.- All
program modules are updated completely automatically
so you always have the latest version.
- Send
the user a pop up message alert. A good way to tell them
they’re busted! - Turn
off/on Internet access with the SnoopStick locally or
remotely. - Set
allowable times for Internet access.
Prevent users from using certain types of Internet programs.
Block access to specified ports.
Block access to web sites.- One
click “Block Social Networking” option instantly blocks
access to sites like MySpace.com.
Completely secure. Only your SnoopStick can access your
computer or change the settings you have chosen.
Works with Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and is Vista ready.
