USB thumb drives-from relatively humble beginnings-have become an essential PC component for both student and road warrior alike.

Ubiquitous and ever cheaper, its success lies in its small size, ever-increasing capacity, and flexibility; they are perfect for quick backups but can boot smaller operating systems as well. Best of all, USB drives are solid state, with no moving parts to break when thrown in a backpack - or a back-pocket. With prices diminishing as capacity grows, a specialized sub-market continues to grow for discerning consumers who desire capacity, throughput and rugged build quality.

This niche market is well served by the following rugged USB drives released over the last few months.

First up is the Verbatim TUFF-CLIP. Featuring 8GB of storage, the TUFF-CLIP, as its name implies, boasts a clasp on one end - perfect for belt or laptop bag loops. Considering that the size of USB thumb drives can sometimes be a mixed blessing-easy to carry, but likewise also easy to misplace-its closable clasp is a minor but nonetheless needed innovation. This plastic also sheathes the rest of the drive without sacrificing portability. The drive itself is optimized for ready-boost speed for Vista and Windows 7 users and features the now standard security software onboard. The Verbatim TUFF-CLIP comes in at a competitive price point compared to its more vanilla competitors. The clasp is well integrated with the rest of its casing.

Priced similarly, but featuring a tougher exterior is a new player in the market: the ATP ToughDrive. ATP advertises SIP technology in a drive that is shockproof, waterproof and dust-proof. Such claims might well cover all but the cheapest USB thumb drives; when picking up at a recent computer trade show, I immediately understood the market ATP is looking to snare. Like the TUFF-CLIP, the ToughDrive features a tough shell encasement, but with a dense rubber as opposed to the more common plastic. Unlike some its competitors, it seemed welded onto the drive. While its design does not include a clip, the ATP felt light in the palm while undeniably tough. Ridges on both sides of the drive, including a removable tip, were a nice touch; they added heft while not detracting from overall portability. The ToughDrive ships in 4GB and 8GB and the drive itself includes the ready-boost and security options now standard for higher-end thumb drives. The drive itself, as will all of these featured here, is sturdy and well embedded in its casing.

One would think that the military is one step ahead of the rest of us in thumb drive innovation. They probably are. But other professions with truly mission critical needs have developed a market with a new twist on tough. Meet the TAC drive. Eschewing industrial-grade plastic or rubber, the TAC drive is encased in light-weight metal that nonetheless meets-and exceeds-military field regulations. Weighing less than an ounce, rural and suburban fires led physician Dr. Anthony DuBose to conceive of a tough, but lightweight thumb drive that could withstand extreme conditions while saving important medical information of the firefighters engaged in fighting the flames. The result is a thumb drive capable of withstanding freezing in dry ice, submersion in a hundred feet of water, when not heated to degrees exceeding 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

The price is competitive with the other drives listed here, but the capacity is indeed smaller at 1GB. Still, this is an attractively priced, and truly archival quality drive, ready to bear the brunt of extreme elements. A drive tested in a forest fire seems well worth trusting irreplaceable information with; overlook its unsexy, Swiss knife design and it becomes a portable, and fireproof safe - ready on the go.

Rugged, tough USB drives should not resemble a Hummer in miniature; consider instead the materials and intelligent design that go into a high-end, tough USB drive. Form factor, design and on board software are all features to consider when shopping for a tough USB drive designed to withstand the tests of time, circumstance and environment.

Security Cameras in Museums

A museum acquires, conserves, researches and exhibits the objects having historical, scientific or artistic importance for the purposes of education, study, and entertainment. At times, museums also organize programs and activities, such as lectures and tutorials for the audience of all age groups. Security of valuables kept in museums and safety of visitors and staff is of prime importance to the museum authorities.

Museums are prone to high profile robberies as they store precious and antique works of art that are worth millions. Various incidents of burglary have taken place in the past due to lack of effective security system in museums. In February 2008, four paintings by Cezanne, Degas, Van Gogh and Monet worth $163.2 million were stolen by armed robbers from a private museum in Zurich, Switzerland. Another incident was reported in December 2007 when three culprits were caught on surveillance cameras after they stole a Picasso and Portinari worth $ 55.5 million from São Paulo Museum of Art, Brazil. The museum lacked an effective security system but the investigators still got basic information from security camera footages. To avoid such unwanted activities, it is mandatory to install CCTV cameras along with security alarms and anti-tamper devices to enhance the security system of the museums.

Benefits of Installing Security Cameras in a Museum

• Reduced Crime: Museum administration needs to safeguard paintings, sculptures, ceramics, inventions, natural history exhibits, and other works of art. Thus, security is an important issue and the biggest benefit of security cameras is that they are crime deterrents. CCTV cameras not only prevent the museum possessions from theft and robbery but also from vandalism and general damage from public that may be intentional or unintentional.
• Effective Deployment of Invigilators: CCTV cameras help in monitoring the area carefully and also planning the probable positions where security staff is to be deployed. Thus, security cameras support effective supervision. Effective security enhances the visitors’ experience too.
• Post-Incident Investigation: CCTV cameras have a good recording capacity, thus they are very helpful for post-incident investigation. CCTV footage can be used as evidence against the culprits in case of any burglary or untoward incident.
• Unauthorized Entry Control: CCTV cameras help to control unauthorized access to the non-public areas, such as staff entrances and loading bays. Unauthorized entrants may be a nuisance in the prohibited areas and also endanger security of museums.
• Valuable Aid for Site Monitoring: Security cameras provide 24X7 surveillance and also allow remote viewing over the Internet that helps in monitoring the site even from a distance. Security authorities can examine surveillance footage and keep a check on all the activities.

For a fool proof security system, it is very important to place cameras at all the strategic points. This result in excellent safety and security of precious works of art kept in museums and their patrons. It is advisable to have a security cover at all the entry and exit points, galleries, exhibition halls, rooms containing collections, and areas where highly valuable items are kept. Take help from the experts before the placement of security camera as they can guide you with the installation and deployment process in a better way.

duty free when returning from canada and changing flights?

i am going to be returning from vancouver to manchester changing flights at calgary and heathrow. my question is can i buy duty free at calgary (alcohol and perfume - liquids) and legally get them through security at heathrow on my way back to manchester? i wont have my hold luggage with me only hand baggage, but. if i get them appropiatly sealed tamper proof etc and with receipt will it be ok?

When you arrive at LHR, your hand baggage will be subject to the liquid restrictions in place in the UK, meaning that you won't be allowed any liquids in containers greater than 100mL. (There are no provisions in the UK law exempting duty-free purchases imported into the UK.)

Thus, any liquids you buy from duty free in Calgary that exceed the 100mL size limit will be confiscated at LHR, unless you check a bag and put those items into checked luggage.

I want to begin by thanking Howard Schmidt for pulling this event together. Almost a year ago, President Obama challenged the U.S. government to collaborate even more closely with the private sector to meet the evolving challenges of cybersecurity.
