<![CDATA[																								<p>Here are listed 10 categories of devices you can buy to make you feel like a James Bond, from laser beams that cut things to x-ray goggles that see through clothes to CSI grade forensic lab hardware. 

</p>




<img alt="" src="%%IMG55%%" />



<p>
I have also included links to websites where you may buy any of these products! Make your friends more jealous of you than anyone else in the world. I have listed websites to buy these items from as well. These products are legal in most places but, if you select something you would like to buy, please look up state laws about the buying and use of that product. 

</p><p>

It is your responsibility to follow the law and I will take no responsibility if you do something wrong with one of the items I will show you where to buy. Please comment this article with opinions or suggestions! Thanks for the feedback!</p>

<p>

 <ol> 
<li> 
<h3>A Laser</h3>


<img alt="" src="%%IMG1%%" /><br/><br/>

 We've all seen 007's watch, that red laser can cut through anything it needs to. Now in our developed world we have technology that does better; lasers in any color of the rainbow. They are so visible in daylight you need to wear protective glasses just to look at the beam. 

<br/><br/>

Although they cannot fit inside a watch yet, these military grade burning lasers are only the size of a pen but can cut like a knife, light things on fire, and have their beam be visible any where you point it; hundreds of miles away! Although many places sell these lasers, to get ones with power, beauty, and the ability to make you the feel like a ninja, you have to go to a place rightfully called <a href="http://www.wickedlasers.com/index.php?refer=32232 " target="_blank">WickedLasers</a>. 

<br/><br/><img alt="" src="%%IMG2%%" /><br/><br/>

If you for some reason require a laser that does not look as nice on the outside but works just as well and has a beam just as bright, a laser that is not visible to the naked eye, one that turns on with a unique key, or one that is yellow or orange go to <a href="http://www.laserglow.com/index.php?portable " target="_blank">LaserGlow</a>. Both these websites are great.<br /></li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Lock Picking Tools</h3>

<img alt="" src="%%IMG3%%" /><br/><br/>


 Most of us don't care to use our shoulder to break through locked doors, and many doors cannot be broken. Here's where these tools come into play. You can buy little metal skeleton keys called picks to lock pick doors.

<br/><br/>


 Don't have the skill needed to pick the lock? Buy a lock pick gun which does it for you or a lock picking training device. If this isn't your thing and you already have access to a key get a key mold kit which comes complete and ready to duplicate any key you've ever seen. All these items can be found at the lock picking section in <a href="http://www.thespystore.com/locksmithequipment.htm " target="_blank">The Spy Store</a>. </li>
 
<li> 
<h3>A Tracer</h3>

<img alt="" src="%%IMG4%%" /><br/><br/>

 Admit it. You've watched a lot of Hollywood in your lifetime and from 007 to StarWars films have had many scenes where people trace each other with small gadgets they slipped onto each other. 

<br/><br/>
Thanks to Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) this is now no large feat to do. You may buy a small box, less than half the size of a cigarette box which you can then stick, using the built in magnets, onto anything you want to trace. Then you can monitor the position of whatever you happened to be tracing all the way to Hong Kong. 

<br/><br/>

Some of these GPS trackers can be found at this <a href="http://www.thespystore.com/gps-usa.htm " target="_blank">website</a>.<br /></li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Intrusion Gear</h3>

<img alt="" src="%%IMG5%%" /><br/><br/>

Any good undercover operative can enter any facility. Even without permission. Apart from lock picking, which is for the patient man, you can get in like a ninja or like Jackie Chan. These websites will sell you anything from fire department forcible entry tools, to grappling hooks, to metal rope ladders, to suction cups. 

<br/><br/>

Although the suction cups are not meant for climbing, some one-handed cups can hold up to 75 pounds so with a couple cups and a lot of creativity you should be ready to go. Check out <a href="http://www.tbotech.com/ninja-gear.htm" target="_blank">Ninja Gear </a>at Tbo-Tech. Find<a href="http://www.thespystore.com/locksmithequipment.htm" target="_blank"> Locksmith Equipment</a> at The Spy Store. </li>
 



<li> 
<h3>Biometric Security</h3>



<img alt="" src="%%IMG7%%" /><br/><br/>


 Security using your one-of-a-kind body is the best there is. Although things like voice recognition, palm, hand and fingerprint scanning, iris and retina reading, hand vein imagery, facial 3d modeling verification, and DNA testing security devices are harder to buy as they require you personal information, what you need it for, and a price quote these high end security devices were too cool not to be included on my list. 


<br/><br/>


Here's where you can buy some of these from well known brands such as <a href="http://www.panasonic.com/business/security/products/biometrics.asp" target="_blank">Panasonic</a>.<br /></li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Secret Surveillance: Audio and Video</h3>


<img alt="" src="%%IMG9%%" /><br/><br/>

 Here's where the word "spy" comes from. Using these gadgets you may record audio and visual data within a large radius, or though a specific device such as a phone. You can do all this without being detected using special equipment.
<br/><br/><img alt="" src="%%IMG8%%" /><br/><br/>

 These Microphones and cameras can be smaller than the nail on your pinky finger and can be on constantly or activated by sound or motion. You can even get cameras that see in the dark or mikes which can pinpoint sounds a hundred feet away. 

<br/><br/>

To be able to monitor your targets with precise accuracy and secrecy go to the audio or <a href="http://www.spystore.com/video" target="_blank">video</a> site at The Spy Store. <br /></li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Virtual Secret Surveillance</h3>


<img alt="" src="%%IMG10%%" /><br/><br/>


Ever wished you could know every single thing somebody did on a certain computer? And all their passwords? Well, this is now possible. Using simply a small plug-in device, the size of a nickel, between a person's keyboard (even a wireless one) and their computer, you can see hundreds of pages of text that they type no matter what it is. You can monitor every single button they press on their keyboard. No software is involved in this process; you simply set a password on the device and plug it in.

<br/><br/>


 When it has been recording a good deal of time you can take it out and plug it into your own computer enter the password and Viola! You can see everything they've typed. If you do not want to have to retrieve the device you can have what it has recorded sent to a website, email, or FTP server. 

<br/><br/>


This <a href="http://www.thespystore.com/pcsurveillance.htm" target="_blank">device</a> can be left in for years on end. You may also buy software that does exactly the same thing and at the same time records the person's screen.</li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Self Defense</h3>

<img alt="" src="%%IMG12%%" /><br/><br/>

 Now that your going to be a real spy your going to need some serious protection. On the website below you can buy anything from Martial arts and ninja weapons, to police batons, to stun guns and tasers disguised as cell phones (just like James Bond), to pepper spray disguised as lipstick, to handcuffs and thumbcuffs, to blowguns which shoot tranquilizer darts 200 feet using only your breath. These are mostly non-lethal weapons but always use the utmost caution. 


<br/><br/><img alt="" src="%%IMG11%%" /><br/><br/>

For some real butt-kicking power check out the following <a href="http://www.tbotech.com" target="_blank">website</a>.</li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Counter Equipment</h3>

<img alt="" src="%%IMG13%%" /><br/><br/>

 Of course, now that you have bought the necessary accessories and become a double O, you have made enemies, use these gadgets to prevent them spying on you. They have bug sweepers to see that no one is spying on you through your Phone, fax, or computer, or with hidden microphones and cameras. Also in stock are anti-tracers so as to jam, and not to be tracked by, GPS. 



<br/><br/>

If you want to protect your computer from spies, buy a Government Grade Computer protection program which will save you from stealthy spy programs monitoring your computer. You can find them all on the websites below. 

<br/><br/>

Did you know that no matter what you delete on your computer, even "permanently" is never really gone? No matter what you do, even if you are a good programmer and delete the cache, the 1's and 0's are still there in a non-accessible piece of your hard disk. This information is kept there for the government to see. If you are paranoid or simply want to get something off your computer forever, so as to not be haunted by it, you can get the software you need today. 

<br/><br/>


If you have information on a person spying on you it is possible to find out who the person is with their living address, email address, telephone number, or car license plate. </li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Other Really Cool Equipment</h3>


<img alt="" src="%%IMG14%%" /><br/><br/>


Here are some other cool necessities. On these websites you can find a USB SIM card reader which will allow you to see anything on a person's phone, even deleted items such as text messages, simply by plugging in the SIM card. You may also find some hand-held lie detectors and generic versions of previously listed spy equipment. 

<br/><br/><img alt="" src="%%IMG15%%" /><br/><br/>

Also the website below is most likely the best spy website in existence! It has the widest selection of high tech gadgets anywhere including cell phone jammers and REAL X-RAY GLASSES that see through clothes; they are most likely illegal but still interesting.

<br/><br/>

 The glasses cost a ton but the camera costs only one tenth the price. Check <a href="http://www.spygear4u.com/" target="_blank">it</a> out you'll be impressed. </li></ol></p>



<h3>Other Cool Websites:</h3>



<p>
 <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com" target="_blank"><img border= "0" alt="" src="%%IMG16%%" /></a> </p>

<p>
Here you can buy a lot of really cool gadgets, shirts, and many forms of caffeine that any true geek would love. 

</p>


<p>


<a target="_blank" href="http://www.unitednuclear.com"><img border= "0" alt="" src="%%IMG17%%" /></a>

</p><p>
 Here you can buy anything from radioactive uranium, to dangerous chemicals, to meteorites, to Van De Graff machines and Tesla coils, to lab equipment, to rare substances, to X-ray machines, to phosphorous items, to cloud chambers, to the strongest magnets in the world than can lift 800 pounds and only the size of your fist!
 
</p>

<p>



I hope you enjoyed this and found it interesting. Use your powers for good, for with great power comes great responsibility (yes I just ripped off Spiderman).

<title>YouTube's Port</title>

<description>
<![CDATA[<p>There was this time that I had a conversation with friends about the things we missed the most about the 90s and it turned out that most of us loved Takeshi's Castle. If you've lived through the early 90s in front of the television, it's more or less possible that you know what I'm talking about.  I was one of the numerous kids back then who patiently looked forward to every Sunday to have a good laugh together with my friends. 



</p><p>
 The Japanese outdoor game show starts off with lots of contestants, who are to pass through several obstacles using their physical and mental skills.  Some of the obstacles are seemingly impossible to finish while some just depends on gut feel and luck to overcome.  I have no idea why a certain local station stopped televising such amusing show but just recently, another local station started showing new episodes.  But I still liked the original Takeshi's Castle, with the original Filipino hosts. I even planned on buying a copy from the local television station just to bring back the giddy 90s feeling. 

</p><p>

 That plan never pushed through.  And I am thankful it didn't because now I don't have to spend big bucks just to see my favorite show again.  Another thanks to 
<a target="_blank" href="HTTP://WWW.YouTube.COM">YouTube</a>
.</p>
 



 <p>YouTube is the most famous video website where you can view, upload, and share videos across the Internet and even mobile devices.  YouTube has a wide sphere of categories covered, such as current events, music videos, press releases, videos on hobbies and interests, or even your own home original videos.  This giant leader was developed as a corollary effect of our evolved technology and generation.  

</p><p>


Today, anyone can shoot a video, edit, and share them with anyone in the world.  Even my 11-year old brother can edit a home video taken by him using a camera phone.  It's not what you'd expect to see in a movie but it is surely a great progress of human activity to find out that a kid can now make a simple video snippet through user-friendly softwares without even having to take full-blown academic courses.  YouTube is one provider of easy use and access of short videos.</p>
 
 <p>In our fast-paced techie world today, internet users (those who are familiar with internet features such as blogs, online forums, online stores, instant messaging, etc.) are indeed faced with an overwhelming number of unique innovations of the internet but most of them overlook the fact that they risk themselves as possible victims of copyright infringement or privacy violation though it is quite possible as well that they are violators of copyright and privacy laws.  While some are actually aware of these laws and rights guaranteed under such, there are still a large number of internet users who are not accorded with enough knowledge that there are rules and laws in their use and access of the Internet.</p>
 
 <p>For several years now, YouTube has been faced with notices, complaints, and suits concerning copyright infringement.  Copyright issues suddenly were the hottest issue within the online video market.  Advocate groups of intellectual property law put forward that YouTube and similar sites, by providing a network of video database, is encouraging its users to violate copyright laws.  


</p><p>

In defense, YouTube claims that it is protected under the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998 passed by the 105th Congress of the United States of America. YouTube further provides in its policy wherein a copyright holder may send a copyright infringement notification to the company so that they can take action, discontinue the copyrighted material, and prevent the continued violation of copyright. 

</p><p>

 A copyright holder, who feels that there is an ongoing need to remove potentially infringing content, may also sign up for its Content Verification Program, which electronically notifies the company, removing any room for error, and significantly increases the speed at which they are able to remove any infringing content.</p>
 
 <p>In the early 1990s, when the internet just boomed, movie and recording industries were the first ones to take active participation in making internet content providers responsible for any copyright infringement.  Hollywood argued that internet companies should be held liable if it carries any illegal materials, whether they know it or not.  This never happened.  

</p><p>

Around 1995, Hollywood faced a strong rival, the ones who introduced the concept of internet, the Bell companies. Hollywood stood for copyright protection while Bell emphasized freedom of expression ideas on the internet. Conflict between these two viewpoints ensued.  An impasse was reached in 1997, which forced both parties to submit to a compromise, after a balancing of interests by US Congress: the Online Copyright Liability Limitation Act which was the predecessor of Title II of DMCA (Section 512 of US Copyright Code). 

</p><p>


 Under such law, “user-generated content” companies are shielded away from liability by a “notice and take down” system.  To illustrate, Universal Music Group may notify YouTube regarding a Black Eyed Peas music video, over which they have copyright, uploaded on the YouTube network and that they did not consent to the unregulated coverage and use of such video. 


</p><p>

Upon demand, YouTube must take down the video expeditiously.  And to be in “safe harbor,” YouTube must have not been aware that the infringing material was there.  But under Section 512 (c) (1) (A)(ii), YouTube, in the absence of such actual knowledge of the presence of the infringing material, must also have not been aware of any fact or circumstance from which infringing activity is apparent.  


</p><p>

We come to the question: isn't YouTube aware that its users are actually capable of bringing in pirated content into their arena?  Aren't previous notifications satisfactory substantiation to alert YouTube of infringing activity as to be considered “facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent”?</p>
 


 <p>The principle of “fair use” has likewise come up in the course of defending YouTube business model.  According to Electronic Frontier Foundation, an advocate for the public on digital rights issues, fair use is a limitation on the exclusive rights of copyright holders. The US Copyright Act gives copyright holders the exclusive right to reproduce works for a limited time period. Fair use is a limitation on this right. A use which is considered "fair" does not infringe copyright, even if it involves one of the exclusive rights of copyright holders.

</p><p>


 Fair use allows consumers to make a copy of part or all of a copyrighted work, even where the copyright holder has not given permission or objects to your use of the work. The public's right to make fair use of copyrighted works is a long-established and integral part of US copyright law. Courts have used fair use as the means of balancing the competing principles underlying copyright law since 1841. Fair use also reconciles a tension that would otherwise exist between copyright law and the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of expression. </p>
 


 <p>Fair use is not clearly defined under the law.  Hence, cases are decided upon facts and circumstances surrounding them.  Under Section 107 of the Copyright Code, four factors are taken into consideration by the courts in determining whether a use of the material is “fair”: </p>

 <ol>
  <li> Purpose and character of the use (courts are in favor of it being fair if it's for noncommercial purpose);</li>

  <li> nature of the copyrighted work (a particular use is more likely to be fair where the copied work is factual rather than creative);</li>

  <li> Amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole (court will balance this factor toward a finding of fair use where the amount taken is small or insignificant in proportion to the overall work);</li>

  <li> Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work (if the court finds the newly created work is not a substitute product for the copyrighted work, it will be more likely to weigh this factor in favor of fair use)</li>
 </ol>
 
 <p>The US Supreme Court has described fair use as "the guarantee of breathing space for new expression within the confines of Copyright law".  </p>
 
 <p>DMCA and fair-use principle may have saved YouTube from being legally responsible for hundreds of video clips posted by its users daily without the permission of copyright owners but are these measures sufficient to put an end to accounts of copyright infringement in general?</p>
 

 <p>There is no certainty as to the demise of copyright infringement.  It seems that infringement is being redefined today with the advance of science and technology as well as culture and arts.  The information highway is an open field for artists wherein they can showcase their talents without having to pay for a fee for bandwidth and webspace. 

</p><p>

 Fairly enough, YouTube is coming up with possible solutions to create better safeguards against pirated content.  Aside from affording copyright holders immediate action upon substantial notification, YouTube is likewise opening its doors to partnership deals with other media companies. 


</p><p>

 At present, the video-sharing site has successfully contracted with leading content providers such as CBS, BBC, Universal Music Group, Sony Music Group, Warner Music Group, EMI Group, NBA, and The Sundance Channel.  These arrangements allow YouTube to carry materials copyrighted by such media conglomerates without risking itself to be charged for copyright infringement even under DMCA.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FVideo%2FYouTubes-Port.54996"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FVideo%2FYouTubes-Port.54996" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
