It's not every day that we see gear aimed at "forward-thinking and discerning social elites" -- if anything, it seems that the most high-falutin' types are looking for ways to stay out of our orbit. Then again, our idea of security usually involves Lego safes and Nintendo deadbolt hacks. When we learned that "true peace of mind" could be ours once we had our hot little hands on the BioMirage Coffer -- a 16.4 x 10.6 x 5.8-inch, 10.4 lb strong box featuring biometric fingerprint authorization and a USB key -- our ears perked up. We're not sure what this thing's made of (or that it couldn't be smashed open if you were so inclined), but who wouldn't want to own a gadget that "epitomizes symbiotic interactions between people and technology?" Wait... this thing's $579? We'll pass.
Wait a second, let me bust out my sarcasim machete to cut through that first sentance.....and this box.
Gawd, why must you Apple fanboys at Engadget dis everything that isn't Apple?! I am so sick of the bias at this site. If this were an Apple BioMirage, we would have news about it for days!!
How in the world did you draw ANY parallels between this contraption and Apple? So if Engadget disses something non-Apple, that makes them fanboys? So I guess anyone who dissed the Ford Pinto are commies.
*whoosh*
That latch is tiny! A sawsall could open it in two seconds!!
It's all a gimmick.
"Higher security by preventing home theft," says the BioMirage website. Because thieves aren't able to lift 10.4 lbs and wouldn't be enticed to steal something so pretty.
I would like to work for these people with money to waste...
got some waste for money!
...just one question...why there are flowers on it? its supposed to be a jewelry box/safe of sorts?
.... I feel offended.
