Lembram da época em que era divertido formar um clubinho e para garantir o acesso era necessário saber a ‘batidinha secreta’? Se observarmos bem, isso era uma espécie rudimentar de password ou criptografia. Hoje em dia, a tecnologia nos ajuda a brincar de uma forma mais profissional. É o que essa trava eletrônica é capaz de fazer: detectar a batida secreta e destravar a porta automaticamente:

secret-knock-detecting-door-lock

Você configura a batida secreta e o dispositivo é capaz de reconhecê-la. O vídeo mostra a trava em funcionamento. Pena que é um Hack e não um produto à venda no mercado. Seria divertido ter uma dessas.

Super Talent introduces world's first USB 3.0 flash drive

USB 3.0 devices are just now starting to peek their heads out at retail, and it looks as if Super Talent is doing its darnedest to not be left out of the spotlight. Said company has just introduced what looks to be the planet's first USB 3.0 thumb drive (or "RAIDDrive," as it were), promising transfer rates of up to 320MB/sec when relying on a separate UAS Protocol driver with a USB 3.0 port. If you're using a stock USB 3.0 socket, you'll see speeds as high as 200MB/sec, while those bold enough to slam this into a USB 2.0 connector will see it slow to USB 2.0 speeds. There's no mention of a price or release date, but it should ship relatively soon in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB flavors.

It's the NVIDIA rumor that won't die: no, not the one where the GPU maker buys tiny VIA, but the other one, where it jumps feet-first into competition with both Intel and AMD by producing an x86 processor of its own. The idea has cropped up again in an analyst note from Doug Freedman of Broadpoint AmTech, in which Freedman claims that NVIDIA has been hiring former Transmeta engineers to work on a secret x86 processor that will appear sooner rather than later. In the note seen by the EE Times, Freedman emphasizes that NVIDIA not will take on Intel's Core i5/i7 lineup. Rather, the company's plan is to it attack the mid-range to low-end market, possibly competing with AMD in the value segment.
