Victorinox Secur Pro USB Drive Integrates With Swiss Army Knife For Ultimate Security
Victorinox is a brand you may have heard your dad or grandfather speak of, and if you're someone who associates closely with the outdoors, you may actually own one of their products. If we said "Swiss Army knife," you'd know immediately what we were talking about, and sure enough Victorinox is the parent company that makes those knives.
In an effort to bring their latest knife into the current century in terms of relevance, they held an event in their European flagship store on London’s New Bond Street. The reason was to unveil something with a bit of old school flair and a bit of new school utility

Gmail Warns of Suspicious Account Activity
Google rolled out a new security feature for Gmail that can alert you when it thinks someone else may be using your account.

Although the new feature isn't remarkably accurate (in the US it only displays which state you are in), it can prove useful if an attack comes from across the country or from overseas.

"This was a business decision by Google," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters.

Unlike shadow communications minister Tony Smith, who has struggled to form a policy on just about anything, Hockey came out as a clear opponent of the internet filtering bill in a speech delivered to the Grattan Institute last night.
Describing Senator Conroy's plan as "unworkable", Hockey said....
