The Nano Hummingbird has been five years in the making by the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and AeroVironment Unmanned Aircraft Systems. This hummingbird can fly up, down, sideways, can rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise and even hover. It is sized slightly bigger than a real hummingbird, weighs only 19 grams and even looks real.

It is equipped with a front facing camera and is a mini spy plane. It can fly for eight minutes at a time. This spybot is an example of advanced nanotechnology, is battery powered and built specifically for spy missions. It is capable of flying through open windows or sitting on power lines, capturing audio and video without any raising any suspicion that it is not real. (more…)

Anybody who uses the internet has to use a browser to surf the web. While some browsers are better than others, it seems that almost all of them have internet security issues. Internet Explorer’s security issues are well known. Even Mozilla’s popular Firefox browser has just launched a new version as the earlier one had many holes in internet security.

Unfortunately switching browsers may be more trouble than it is worth because all security vulnerabilities may not even be known to all users. Firefox – and other browsers – release security patches from time to time in an attempt to counter this problem. (more…)

Just a note to apologise for not posting more frequently over the last 2-3 weeks as things have been rather busy with the Easter holiday break.

I know a lot of you are keen to know how the spy gadget industry is likely to develop in the future, but probably more importantly, the legality of using spy gadgets. Well, there was a very interesting interview with Rob Slater on BBC Radio 5 Live a while back that touches on these issues, its definately worth listening to. He is an expert on surveillance equipment and is sometimes featured on TV, radio and print media in the UK; he also runs Trackershack.

The spy coin is rather clever invention that allows anyone to carry small items hidden away secretly such as a MICRO SD card or a sheet of microfilm. These small SD cards can hold 1 GB of text or even photos. (more…)

You will notice I haven’t posted in awhile and I expect this to be the case for another day or two. I am having a few personal problems which I really can’t go into. I expect to get posting back on the old schedule as soon as possible. Thank you
