The brand new SpyCobra USB device is described as “the next generation of computer surveillance” – like a new and improved version of last year’s KeyShark USB Keylogger.

Extremely useful and highly covert, the SpyCobra is perfect for parents that want to keep an eye on their kids’ internet activities, employers who suspect their staff are up to something or private investigators gathering information, the SpyCobra is a covert computer logging device that’s a giant leap forward in spy technology.

What makes this device different is that it doesn’t have to be left plugged into a PC. You plug it into a USB port and within 15 seconds you can install a small piece of software that will log keys, remember websites visited and take screen shots at regular intervals.

There’s no hardware to detect and when you want to retrieve the information gathered, you just plug the SpyCobra unit into the PC again and everything will be uploaded onto it, so you can take it away and examine it later.

The SpyCobra computer surveillance USB device will soon be available from the Thumbs Up (UK) Ltd website. The suggested retail price is £89.99 (about $126).

The radio-controlled mini helicopter Draganflyer X6 is designed to carry wireless video cameras and still cameras. A pair of glasses lets you see the same thing as the chopper in the air, while you are standing on the ground with the handheld controller.

Use the high definition motion video provided by the Draganflyer X6 helicopter for security, reconnaissance, inspection, damage assessment, research, real estate promotion, or advertising. It can be used for virtually anything.

The Draganflyer X6 is small enough to fly indoors where other full-size helicopters or airplanes can’t, yet is large enough to fly outdoors in winds up to 30km/h (18mph).

The Draganflyer X6 helicopter uses 11 sensors and thousands of lines of code to self-stabilize during flight. This means the Draganflyer X6 is easier to fly than any other helicopter in its class.
