Western culture has this frenzy for security. Everything has to be kept secured from unauthorized access. That includes computers. Well, nobody here is complaining. Is there anyone with a clear mind who would allow unidentified people to access his/her banking information online, anyway?
In today's world where the things we used to do physically are now being done by our computers, computer security is an important issue as ever. From the bit level to the operating system and applications, customers should be assured that everything is safe--or, at least, minimally threatened.
But it's not just the data inside the computer that one should worry about. If it's a portable, then the computer itself should also be protected from thieves. Why, there are even locks (yes, physical locks) like this one from Acco for those who are really worried about their portable machines.
This laptop lock from Acco is literally a metal cable that will be attached to your notebook. The patented T-bar locking mechanism is used to fit the lock into your laptop's security slot (These kinds of slots are seen in almost all notebooks out there). Don't worry; the steel cable is of aircraft grade. These notebook locks are good if you desire to allow people to access the laptop in an unattended area. Otherwise, if you are there to look over things or you do not plan to allow people to use the notebooks, these locks would be useless.
Hmmm. It would be nice, though, if we could just trust these people--but I guess I am just dreaming since some people are just not worth the trust. You can never be too sure when it comes to expensive things.
All UPSable
