What is in a name? For the “4N-MVT01/D01/42″ French watch designer Francois Quentin, set out to design an easy to read display with display digital time through a mechanical analog function. Three numeric discs will rotate to display the time using big and easy to read yellow/orange numbers. Below the display of the watch is the mechanical movement with exposed gears and sprockets. The manufacturer run will be limited to only 16 pieces. Pricing is unknown, but with this limited run, price won’t be your biggest concern.

Many of my clients in the entertainment industry are intensely concerned, and rightfully so, about the security of their media.  Whether it is video files or scripts, Corsair may have come up with the perfect solution. Prior to this product, users had to fiddle with secure disk images, that were time consuming to handle on a regular basis. Now a much simpler solution is at hand.

The Padlock 2, from Corsair,  features Mac OS X compatible password protection via the built-in keypad. Hardware 256-bit encryption secures your data and multiple failed entries locks device for 2 minutes to prevent repeated attempts to access data.

What if you forget the passcode? Don’t worry, there’s a procedure for wiping the drive clean and generating a new one. 8GB USB 2.0 versions are  available immediately, with larger versions coming soon.

On January 27, 2010, Apple introduced iPad, a revolutionary device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books and much more. iPad’s responsive high-resolution Multi-Touch display lets users physically interact with applications and content. iPad is just 0.5 inches thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds— thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook. iPad includes 12 new innovative apps designed especially for the iPad, and will run almost all of the over 140,000 apps in the App Store. iPad will be available in late March starting at the breakthrough price of just $499.
