Coming in capacities ranging from 80 to 320GB, Fujitsu’s new MHZ2 CJ series drives don’t just spin at 7200rpm — these security-conscious drives also have full-disk hardware-based AES-256 encryption, which ought to forestall indefinitely any potential laptop-nappers. We don’t yet know how much the extra security will tack on to the bottom line, but they’ll be out by the end of next month (in Japan, anyway).

See the camera? Good, neither will the person you’re spying on. That’s Digital Cowboy’s latest take on the digital spy pen. The ¥17,800 (about $175) DVR-BP features a 1-mm pinhole CMOS camera, mic, 2-hour battery, and 2GB of memory to store all your video deceit at 352 x 288 pixels and 15fps. Coming April 24th to a GAP changing room near you. Sample video of a uh, pussy cat after the break.

Look Japan, we know you love your robots but is it really prudent to equip them with them frigging laser beams? Why not just hand them maps to our vital organs and special hoses to juice our babies? You’re looking at an actual photo from the Blazer tournament held this week in Fukuoka City, Japan. The competition fitted Kondo’s KHR-1HV with lasers and sensors and then let the teams battle it out in a mock-up city. We truly are the makers of our own doom.

The last we heard of DHS’s “Project 28″ plan to build a 28-mile stretch of virtual fencing along the US / Mexico border in Arizona, it had been postponed until at least 2011 because the towers didn’t quite work. Well, it appears that on further review, the system is even more of a total failure, and it’s being scrapped entirely: according to Kelly Good, deputy director of the administration’s Secure Border Initiative program, Project 28 “hasn’t come close” to meeting Border Patrol’s goals. Tests of the virtual fence didn’t lead to nearly as many arrests as designers had hoped, and the lag from sensor detection to transmission of an image to border agents was apparently a big part of the problem. Boeing, which won the $860M contract to build the system, is now being told to replace it all with upgraded towers, but there’s no word on when that’s happening or what it’ll cost taxpayers on top of the $20M already paid out. We’re expecting trillion-dollar chain-link bids to come rolling in any day now.

Pocket-size electronic devices can’t do just one thing anymore. Phones take pictures, MP3 players show movies and GPS receivers double as photo albums.
