Porn is a way of life if any women(the only people using this) think they can stop a mans desire for porn they are mistaken.

One potential market for this product, lazy store "techs". Saves them scouting around your hard drive or running long catch all searchs in order to find home made porn to steal, lets face it your "home movies" are gonna be somewhere close to your home made pics :D.

As far as keeping an eye on kids goes, As a long serving IT manager I "hope" I can outwit my kids. The oldest is 7 Ive got a few years yet before my wife and I need to decide what stance we're gonna taken on that. My wifes German so she grew up with porn on regular TV and a TV in her bedroom. I grew up in Britain, before the internet. Underwear section of a catalogue was about as good as it got in my teens.

I'm still at a loss to understand why some people find it acceptable for children to see images of one person's hand smashing into the face of another person, but change the body parts and it's "whoa there" - taboo; even if they're quite happy for the body parts to be doing whatever they're doing. What an odd world...

What a load of BS.

Kids can watch a violent film (blood, gore and the rest), but god forbid they should see a nipple (see J. Jackson "wardrobe malfunction")

Besides, as many posters already said, video streaming is where it is at now, so what is the point of this?

err...can't they just write a software for it instead of putting it on a usb stick? unless they wanna store those naughty images onto the drive at the same time...

actually, i think geek squad would be all over this, since they routinely scan computers that come in for pr0n, according to consumerist

Sure begs the question which is worse? I too find it a little strange, for lack of a better word, that violence is giving a passing glance compared to whether or not a kid sees some woman's breasts. I guess extremism is here today, tomorrow it will be the other way around. Its all based on who yells the loudest in protest.

Imagine that USB Stick picture above but with this on it instead:

"Colon Detection Rectal Stick"

The day may come when colon detection may be in a stick...hopefully a small one like this. *Cringes*....

I don't see the point in this. First off, if it's for suspecting spouses; they should be trusting. If it's for parents; Eww, and you're not going to stop children looking at porn. Bosses; Okay, I understand this one. Schools; I understand this one. Everyone else; Probably scanning their friend's PCs to find pictures of their girlfriends. Sick.

[citation][nom]jsc[/nom]Big market for this in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Customs would love it.[/citation]

That's kinda scary that they do that...

"Want to buy some porn sticks?"

"You don't want to sell me porn sticks"

"I don't want to sell you porn sticks"

"You want to go home and rethink your life"

There's a good and a bad side to this.

Bad: If you don't want someone to find what you're looking at, then it could be annoying.

Good: If you misplace your porn, then at least you can find it again! :D

I totally agree about how society is fully acceptable with kids seeing blood, gore, and guts, but letting them see a nipple is sooo forbidden. I grew up in a house where we would sneak a peak at my dads playboys, and he pretended to care but he really didn't. They were more concerned about language/violence then they were about nudity.

$100.00 to see if you have pictures???? That's crazy!!! just do a search for all jpgs and view them as thumbnails. It will probably sell well anyhow, because I could see alot of insecure, computer illiterate women buying this thinking they will catch their husbands, not knowing that they wont be able to find the husbands bukake movies or copy of backdoor sluts #9.

[citation][nom]daedalus685[/nom]$100 do find the multi-gig folder called "homework" hidden 6 levels into a random folder that contains nothing else? Nah, I think I can find that on my own...Besides that, there is market for this? Are these parents just illiterate with computers or lazy? Though this is a bit late in the day of streams... Any child knowingly disobeying their parents and looking at porn is miles ahead of being able to avoid this kind of tech...[/citation]
Yes, most parents are just illiterate when it comes to computers. They don't even know how to transfer their vacation pics to a computer, let alone find something that a kid may have stored somewhere different then the default location.

So how long before someone invents the Porn /Protection/ Stick?

Does everything this thing does, but also moves any found images onto it's internal encrypted flash drive, scrubs the deleted space, and wipes the browser history.

this seem parthetic to me

i actually hide any sensitive data on my pc in a
256bit aes,twofish,serpent encryption using a 24 digit password
me thinks they wont be able to bypass this and the fact that if they every did try to use a keylogger i would find it seconds at booting up
and id just disable it

Have you read about the new product on the market?
It's called "How to get people to pay $100.00 for a $2.00 flash drive".
