			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/giant-toy-story-webcam.jpg?cb5e28" alt="" title="giant toy story webcam" width="590" height="446" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-39954" /><br />
This officially licensed Toy Story alien webcam stands at a whopping 15-inches tall, so you&#8217;ll need some serious desktop real estate if you want to bring him home. He&#8217;s also USB-powered, which might be too much for your poor laptop battery to handle. In fact, with power companies struggling to keep up with demand during the summer, this thing could bring the entire grid down. </p>
<p>Seriously though, this is a fantastically fun peripheral. In addition to the 1.3 megapixel webcam, it features glowing eyes and an antenna, &#8220;ooooh&#8221; sound effects from the movie when you unplug him, an external speaker and 2 additional USB ports. </p>
<p>See it in action after the break.</p>
<p><span id="more-39953"></span></p>
<p><object width="590" height="325"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wNVFpuY-QZg?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wNVFpuY-QZg?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="590" height="325" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Given it&#8217;s size, you would think that Pixar could have crammed more than 1.3 megapixels into the camera, but I suppose that&#8217;s not really the point when it comes to a product like this. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, the webcam was made in a 500-piece limited run, so you&#8217;ll have to shell out a whopping $299.99 on eBay to get your hands on one. </p>

From <a href="http://cubiclebot.com/computers/sticker-pinpoints-the-sweet-spot-for-destroying-your-hard-drive/">CubicleBot</a>:If you&#8217;re a superhero who sucks with computers, you may want to take some precautions to ensure you can destroy your hard drive just in case it happens to fall in the hands of your evil archenemy who&#8217;s trying to take over the world. God knows you don&#8217;t want him to know how much porn you watch.</p>
<p>One way to do it is to use the appropriate <a href="http://www.ifixit.com/">iFixt teardown</a> to locate the exact position of your laptop’s hard drive, and then apply a sticker over the spot made from the pattern found <a href="http://www.fffff.at/contingency/stickersheet.jpg">here</a>. Then you can simply drill through it when the time is right. This may also give people peace of mind when they want to dispose of an old computer, but are worried about any personal information remaining on the drive.</p>
