Tired of losing stuff? Now you don’t have to.We all lose stuff around the house. Keys. Wallet. And, of course, the TV remote. It is frustrating, time consuming and always seems to happen when we’re running late.Fortunately, low-cost gadgets can eliminate the panicky ransacking process and simply reveal the location of whatever it is you’re looking for. They use wireless technology and in some cases even smart phones. Here are three available now or in the near future.http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks…

6 Months of Security Links #2011
I’m a regular curator of daily links, and like to give overviews of my collection of curated links and posts. This is partly as there are some good sources and articles in here and as I am working on a research project which I started based on a number of books I read.
I’m sure you’ll find something interesting in the items below – there are some gems in the list – and I dare to hazard the guess you might learn something you wanted to know. 🙂

Thanks to Bruce Schneier I discovered this Tor router which can be used for home. It transparently funnels all the traffic through Tor. I would certainly find this easier than setting up Tor on all my home computers, although it is still possible that the data coming out of an endpoint is monitored, this certainly does add a layer of security..
