Honestly, the things they make to plug into a USB port these days.  It used to be that if you wanted enterprise-level security then, well, you’d probably need to be an enterprise with the budget to go with it; otherwise you wouldn’t be able to afford the chunky server that would scan all incoming and outgoing traffic from your network.  Now Yoggie are offering what they’re calling a Linux security computer on a USB stick, promising internet blocking and traffic monitoring without load on the host computer.

If you’re looking for a desktop replacement and fancy a notebook then you might want to cast your beady eyes over Targa Computers’ Raptor-60, which they’re calling the “first of its kind” to support RAID 5 (in JBOD, RAID 0, 1 or 5 forms).  That for a start is going to make this something of a weighty beast, and when you add in a 17-inch WSXGA+ screen driven by a dual NVIDIA GeForce 7950 you realise that this isn’t something you’ll be tucking under your arm and swanning off to the park with.

Up to three SATA hard-drives can be slotted in, and a Blu-Ray drive is an option.  There’re a range of processors, starting from a pretty boring Intel Core Duo 1.83GHz and ranging up to a 2.93GHz Core 2 Extreme.

As you know our man Vincent attended D5: All Things Digital yesterday. He had a blast, and not only did he get to watch Steve Jobs on stage, but he also was able to meet him and shake his hand. However his meeting didn’t quite go as planned.

You probably know that Vincent also runs our sister-site MYiPhone. When he mentioned this to Jobs, he was kindly informed that he should change the name of the site to something that didn’t contain the iPhone name, citing that “we have a team of lawyers to go after that kind of stuff.” This of course took Vincent very much by surprise.

Kangaroo TV is one of those gadgets I’m unusually curious about but will likely never experience myself, so I’m pleased to see Automated Home’s hands-on report of the event-side review unit from a trip to the Monaco Grand Prix.  A handheld wireless terminal allowing for instant replays, in-car footage, timing data and other information usually you’d have to be in front of the TV to get.
