Thanks to Rich, I had an opportunity to write a review of SecuriKey Professional for MacWorld. They sent me the USB key fobs, I played around with it for a couple of weeks on my MacBook Pro, and I generally liked the product. The only thing I wish they’d do is enable whole [...]

Over in the UK, the Defense Ministry is admitting to the fact that it's lost plenty of laptops with classified info on them . That, alone, isn't really all that newsworthy, given how common it is for governments around the world to lose such things. What was more interesting was the admission that employees have also lost 26 portable memory sticks (USB keys) with classified info on them (out of a total...

Remember the GoldKey USB Security Token we reported about a while ago? Well now there is another karat-topped US key, the PICO-C, which is a 24 Karat gold plated USB drive by Super Talent.

I think everyone can agree that when one gives Fedora help to someone, one should give the right answer. There’s been a little confusion over in #fedora about making bootable Live USB keys. In the old days, you used to be able to use a command like this to make a minimal, bootable USB: dd if=bootdisk.img of=/dev/sdX But the bootdisk.img file was a bitstream image of a bootable disk (in the hard disk/floppy...
