The GPS technology is becoming more and more popular and widely used (and cheaper too). And thus nowadays you can be tracked in many ways even without your own knowledge. If there is a GPS tracker installed in your car someone may be checking where and when you travel. But thanks to this small device that you plug into the car’s cigarette lighter you can become “invisible” to the Big Brother again. This GPS blocker is simply prohibiting the reception signals that GPS satellites provide so that the tracker installed in your car can’t get a fix on your current location and thus doesn’t know your position. If you think this may be enough, how about also getting a mobile phone signal blocker, just to be sure you are really safe and nobody knows where you re driving. Just pray that the car thieves don’t get high-tech and start using these cool gadgets for the wrong thing…

TEMPO is a concept design for an unique external hard drive storage device in the form of a miniature recycle bin. It is intended to protect the user from accidentally deleting files or as an external storage device. As you delete files, they are automatically moved to the TEMPO device, so that if you incidentally delete a needed file you can recover it. And as the device fills up, leds light the “can” from the bottom up, visually informing you of how much free space is available.

As for the technical details, they are still quite sketchy. It seems that the hard drive will be 250GB in size and Bluetooth interface will be used for transferring files. The device should be compatible with both Windows and Mac computers. Maybe the only drawback in the idea will be the Bluetooth that is quite slow when transferring large amounts of data, especially when we are talking about multimedia files with sizes of hundred megabytes or even gigabytes.
