Active Media Products Introduces Penguin Bootable Linux USB Drive

July 29th, 2009

Fremont, California, July 28, 2009 – Active Media Products (AMP), manufacturer of SSDs and WWF series USB drives, today announced immediate availability of a bootable Linux USB (BLU) drive that is compatible with Windows® 7 and benefits WWF. These new penguin BLU drives are preloaded with the full installation of Ubuntu Linux 9.0.4.

BLU drives allow booting into Ubuntu Linux from the USB drive regardless of what operating system is installed on the hard drive. Because the hard drive will still be fully accessible when booting from the BLU drive, it’s an excellent disaster recovery solution in the event of problems with the operating system on the primary hard drive, because important data files on the hard drive can be backed up onto the BLU drive or another USB storage device.

This BLU drive is designed in the likeness of an emperor penguin with exacting detail, and is made of non-toxic silicone rubber. This drive is completely free of PVC, lead and mercury. Every purchase of a penguin drive benefits World Wildlife Fund. Under its licensing agreement with WWF AMP develops and sells a series of portable USB flash drives in the likeness of endangered species, which now includes penguin, panda and polar bear drives, and contributes five percent of the retail price of this product line to WWF.

WWF Penguin BLU drives are offered in up to 16GB capacities. Ubuntu is a community developed, Linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. The Ubuntu operating system occupies about 700MB of the drive, so there is still plenty of usable storage space for carrying photos, music and other data.

All In The Name Of Security: The ‘Killer Chip’ Invention

June 1st, 2009

You thought you’d take a trip abroad to see some relatives in Bizwackistan. Upon your arrival, Bizwackian inspectors implant a GPS tracking device in your arm to “make sure you don’t overstay your welcome.” What they don’t tell you is that if you miss your flight out of the country, be you ill or otherwise indisposed, you will die. chip_implant-250x202

Your every move is being tracked by global-positioning satellites. Tracking by human spy is no longer necessary when one has a GPS system. Overstay your welcome or become a threat to the State by introducing Texas barbecue sauce to its beef-starved citizens, and you’re cooked by that implant in your arm.

The story is apocryphal, of course… and corny, as well. But the invention of such a device is neither.

A Saudi Arabian national is reported to have submitted a patent application for the ‘Killer Chip’ to the German Patent and Trademark Office and it was published in April, 2009, as required by German law.killer_chip_patent

The chip would emit encrypted radio waves that would be picked up by satellites and “used to track fugitives from justice, terrorists, illegal immigrants, criminals, political opponents, defectors, domestic help, and Saudi Arabians who don’t return home from pilgrimages,” reads the patent application.
“Implantation of electronic chips in the human body for the purposes of determining its geographical location,” along with the application’s Model B, which would release the poison on command, were denied for patents by the German Patent Office.

But where will the inventor show up next? Big Brother will know and will kill you if you tell.
