Computer Padlock ensures your valueless data is safe

laptoplock.jpgIf you consider the material on your computer to be so valuable that you need to turn your computer into a veritable safe, the computer padlock is for you. Sure, it's tough to compare your family photos and pornography collection into things like diamonds and bonds that have, you know, legitimate value, but I'm sure there's at least one person out there who would steal your precious data.

So go ahead and drop $120 on this thing. It simply plugs into a USB port on your computer, making it inaccessible without the proper code. It runs on a couple of AA batteries which should keep you going for 5 years or so without needing to be replaced, and it'll make sure that no enterprising thieves get their hands on your vacation photos.
