LATEST TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY

PASSWORD PROTECTION FOR FLASH DRIVES
Those tiny flash-memory drives that plug into a computer's U.S.B. port are great for hauling large files between computers. Anyone who finds an unprotected portable drive could plug it into a computer and browse the files stored on it. Many new U.S.B. drives include security software to encrypt stored files, and require a password to view data on the drive. If you already have a U.S.B. drive and want to keep your files safe from anyone who may accidentally stumble across it, you can find encryption programs for external and portable drives around the Web. One free option includes TrueCrypt for Windows and Linux systems, and there are plenty of commercial programs available.

JABBERING

Unlike AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), MSN Messenger or other software products that don't let users poke around in the programming, Jabber's programming code is open source — which means that anyone can see inside the software and improve it.
