The Biometric Daily

Sometimes products are launched that just make you happy, this is one of them. The Bio Computer On A Stick is a complete Linux OS and Office environment on a bootable USB stick. So.. you will say, and....?
Well the fact of the matter is that you will be able to turn any PC into your PC by simply plugging in the device and boot from it. Once authenticated the Desktop is swiftly launched and you will be able to work in a complete secure environment.
All (your work, your logfiles, your browser cookies and history) is done on the secured partition of the USB Stick. Once you have removed the Stick from the PC no one will ever know that you were there. It's a complete zerofootprint device with an onboard biometric enrollment system.
Last but not least , it's a very cheap device. It sells for only $149.
I had the pleasure of playing with the device for several weeks now. Because it always boots with a clean OS, it's blazingly fast. Surfing is a pleasure. Firefox is a fast browser already, but in combination with this hardware and software it out performs. I used the RDP client frequently and had no problems what so ever to communicate with our Teminal Server. The OpenOffice Suite performed well, although I must say I'm a typical Word & Powerpoint user.
All in all, a good idea, a secure- and best of all an affordable product. You can purchase the stick here or here.
