USB Secret Diary Gets Military Encryption & Self-destruction

Some people like to be in touch with their feelings and all that garbage. This type of person blogs about the mundane aspects of their personal lives and keeps a diary. We've never really understood the need for a diary, but many people keep them. If you like the idea of a diary, but don't like the thought of actually having to write by hand on paper the Secret Diary may be just what you need.

The Secret Diary looks very similar to the Corsair Flash Padlock flash drive in that both have a numeric pad for entering your 4-digit PIN. But unlike the Corsair flash drive, the Secret Diary encrypts entries stored on it via 256-bit AES crypto and is able to self-detruct the data when someone attempts a force brute attack. (The Padlock on the other hand is extremely easy to hack.) Users of the Secret Diary can optionally register a never lost password and get a subscription that backs up diary entries in the case of loss or theft. The drive also bundles software for making diary entries interactive including a fortune cookie, My Stars application, Dream Catcher, Thinking Deep, and Mood Art. Interestingly, it features an emotion sensor that analyzes the text you write and displays a swirl in the heading colored to match the mood of the writing. Pricing and availability are unknown at this time.
