IronKey reveals new, ultra-secure D200 USB flash drives

Another bad designIf I can lose the cap and damage the connector, it's not secure. Why would anybody make a flash drive with a separate cap any more? I'll continue to wait for a secure drive with a good physical design that operates reliably with NO software installation on host...

Averatec D1130 All-in-One

The Averatec D1130 All-In-One is a stripped-down version of the D1133 we reviewed last month, and while this version cuts the price down to only $399, it also strips away many of the features that gave the higher-end model some value. With its puny 1.6GHz Intel Atom chip, 1GB of...

Apple TV update looks good but doesn't offer much more

I second your thoughts, Sam.The updates were nice, but hardly worth it from the functional standpoint. Yes, Netflix would be nice, although iTunes provides most, if not all, of what Netflix would, doesn't it?One thing Tim Cook mentioned during the most recent earnings call was that Apple was going to...
