Verbatim Store 'n' Go Pro USB Flash Drive (64GB)

The more data you store, the more important it becomes that you have a way to keep private data private, even if your USB drive is borrowed, stolen, or lost. The Verbatim Store 'n' Go Pro USB Flash Drive (64GB) ($117 street) fits the bill exactly, providing 64GB of storage with password protection and 256-bit AES hardware data encryption. When smaller drives like the Editors' Choice Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ (8GB, $14 street, 4 stars) are simply too small to cut it, the Store 'n' Go Pro is the easy choice for sizable, secure storage.

Design
The Store 'n' Go Pro is a smaller USB drive, just made for keeping in your pocket. It's not as chunky as the Corsair Flash Voyager GT (32GB, $64.99 direct, 4 stars) or the Kingston DataTravler R500 (128GB, $200 street, 3.5 stars), measuring only 0.3 by 2.5 by 0.8 inches (HWD) and weighing a scant 0.32 ounce. Unlike these drives, which combine high-capacity storage with rugged construction to physically protect your storage, this is a much slimmer drive.

The drive is made of plastic and metal, but it's not the heavy plastic seen on the Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Generation 2 (32GB, $80 street, 4 stars). The plastic shell mostly hides the metal inside, which can be seen along the sides of the drive and the lanyard loop at the back end of the drive. The USB plug retracts, requiring no cap, and a blue LED blinks and glows to tell you that the drive is on and connected.

Features and Performance
While the Store 'n' Go Pro may not offer a lot in the way of physical protection, it protects your data in a different way, with 256-bit AES hardware data encryption. Using the included V-Safe Security software, you can easily set up a password locked privacy zone, allowing you to keep most of your files accessible, while putting a lock on anything sensitive. And with Fat32 formatting, both the Store 'n' Go Pro and the V-Safe Security will work on a variety of systems: Windows (Windows 7, Vista, and XP), Mac (OS 9.0 and up), and Linux (Kernal Version 2.6.x and up).

Available at retail for $117, the 64GB Store 'n' Go Pro offers storage at $1.83 per gigabyte. By comparison, the rubber-armored 32GB Corsair Flash Voyager GT sells for $2.03 per GB, while the chunky Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Generation 2 (32GB) sells for $2.35/GB. For similar security?at a much smaller capacity?the 8GB Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ sells for $14, or roughly $1.75 per GB. Unlike these other drives, which each come with a 5-year warranty, Verbatim covers the Store 'n' Go Pro with a lifetime warranty.

While Verbatim claims read speeds of up to 30 MBps and write speeds of up to 12 MBps, it didn't quite hit those speeds during testing. In our timed file transfer test, the Store 'n' Go Pro managed to match the claimed write speed (12 MBps) but didn't deliver on read speed, clocking at 22 MBps. By comparison, the Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ (8GB) was a tad slower, with data transfer rates of 24 MBps (read) and 10 MBps (write), while the high capacity Kingston DataTraveler R500 produced faster speeds of 30 MBps (read) and 21 MBps (write). For faster performance, try a drive with USB 3.0, like the Corsair Flash Voyager GT, which delivered write speeds of 36.7 MBps and read speeds of 95.6 MBps.

While other drives may offer more rugged construction or a cheaper price point, the 64GB Verbatim Store 'n' Go Pro offers a compelling blend of storage capacity with easy to use security, letting you lock only what's private behind encryption and a password, leaving the rest freely accessible. If the 8GB offered by the Editors' Choice Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ isn't enough, you can be confident grabbing the Verbatim Store 'n' Go Pro.

Pebble ties itself up in Twine: sounds so rustic, couldn't be any less (video)

Take an e-ink smartwatch that's got plenty of willing customers, throw in a WiFi-connected sensor box and well, imagine the possibilities. The founders behind Pebble and Twine hope you are, because they have announced that the pair will be connectable through the latter's web-based interface. This means you'll be able to setup text notifications to your wrist when your laundry's done, when someone's at your door and plenty more mundane real-world tasks. A brief video explains how it should all go down, but try not to get too excited -- pre-orders are sadly sold out.

Scientists discover new inflammatory target

ScienceDaily (May 9, 2012) ? Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have found a new therapeutic target to combat inflammation.

The research, published in the journal Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, revealed tiny organelles called primary cilia are important for regulating inflammation. The findings could lead to potential therapies for millions of people who suffer from arthritis.

Dr Martin Knight who led the research at Queen Mary's School of Engineering and Materials Science said: "Although primary cilia were discovered more than a century ago, we're only beginning to realise the importance they play in different diseases and conditions, and the potential therapeutic benefits that could be developed from manipulating cilia structure and function."

The researchers investigated the role of primary cilia in inflammation. They took cartilage cells and exposed them to a group of inflammatory proteins called cytokines, specifically interleukin-1 (IL-1), to see whether there were any changes to the primary cilia.

"When we exposed the cells to IL-1, in just three hours the primary cilia showed a 50 per cent increase in length," he said.

"But what was most interesting was when we treated cells to prevent this elongation of the cilium. The cartilage cells had a greatly reduced response to the inflammatory proteins and were therefore not as inflamed. This suggests a brand new therapeutic target for inflammation."

Co-author Dr Angus Wann, said this is the first time primary cilia have been suggested as a target for novel therapies to reduce the effects of inflammation.

"If we can work out how to better manipulate the primary cilium, we could potentially attenuate or even prevent inflammation," he said.

The research could also benefit others who suffer from illnesses which cause inflammation.

BlackBerry Curve 9320 now official: BB OS 7.1, 2.44-inch display, BBM button

The 9320 has visited more countries during its short gestation than some phones get to see in their whole lives, but it's finally arrived. The specs are pretty much what we guessed, with the socially-focused BB OS 7.1 onboard, a 3.2-megapixel camera and typical Curve features like a 2.44-inch 320 x 240 non-touch LCD display, 'super charged' 1450mAh battery, FM radio and a small, lightweight 103 gram QWERTY form factor. Same specs, different day, but then there's also microSD expandability beyond the 512MB of eMMC, which can't be taken for granted, plus a new feature in the form of a dedicated BBM key on the side. As for the 9320's cheaper sibling, the 9220 shown above, we've already been hands-on at BlackBerry World and spotted that one of its main sacrifices is the camera: it's only 2-megapixels and there's no flash. That's all 11,000 rupees ($210) and a police escort gets you.

Update: There's a potential treat for FCC watchers after the break -- because we think the Curve 9320 may have just received its wireless green card.

Update: UK carriers have just announced their intentions. Three will offer the device from PAYG for £140 ($225) from May 14th, while T-Mobile will also have a 24-month contract option at £15.50 per month.
