Dropping Science: New Tech Discoveries : Security on a Stick

Hackers are everywhere and data security is getting more advanced. IBM labs rolled out a new security-on-a-stick device. It resembles a memory stick with a visual display, and the stick plugs into a bank computer’s USB port to connect securely and instantly to the server. By bypassing the bank computer and delivering information directly to the server, the stick won’t compromise data with any viruses the computer might have. Since nearly 90% of online identity attacks are directed at the financial services sector, new ideas to combat threats are always necessary.

You dont move 'cool energy' you remove heat.
Boiler Up!
Hmm, I wonder if the "red LED" used to study those wrinkles was your typical high-efficiency InGaAlP version.
Ahh so many items that I could care less about. Not that they aren't important, I just know I'll probably never hear about anyone of these ever again.
