As the world’s first fully ruggedized, pocket-sized hard disk drive (HDD), Outbacker comes in two sizes, 20 gigabytes and 40 gigabytes. Both versions come with full AES encryption capability, biometric (fingerprint) access control, and USB 2.0 connectivity. The Outbacker is compatible with Windows 2000 SP4 and XP SP1 and has a zero footprint mode making it truly portable.
“With data theft and corporate espionage exploding onto the front news pages every day, we need to put a stop, once and for all, on cyber-crime,” said Mike Kieran, director of sales and marketing at MXI. “The Outbacker offers real peace of mind and ease of use for anyone concerned about protecting information,” he added.
Outbacker’s huge storage capacity and ultra fast data writing means users can quickly and easily package the entire desktop, Internet favorites, documents and email files, on a single, secure and completely mobile device.
“We have a backlog of interest from large enterprises and government organizations, particularly the military, because of the potential applications this device holds,” reports Kieran.
The Outbacker’s multi-layer security and 128 bit AES encryption delivers full confidence to its users by ending fear of device theft. The Outbacker permits the storage of up to 5 users each with 2 fingerprints, so the device can be utilized by more than one person in an ultimate secure fashion, with individual PINs being enrolled.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
