Duck for cover! The Pentagon has been the victim of a cyber attack! The weapon in question is a hybrid computer worm rapidly spreading throughout the Pentagon’s thousands of interconnected defense computer networks. No worries, though. The Department of Defense has taken steps to slowing the worm’s advancement by quarantining networks and systems until its removal.

Though the entry point of the worm is unknown, inside sources have reason to believe that removable storage devices are to blame.As a result of this, the Defense Department has banned the use of external hardware devices throughout a vast network of military computers. Do we have an intruder in our midst or just an accident brought on by some friendly pornographic websites?

When it’s been a long day at work and you’re sapped of any energy you require to pack up your belongings and scurry home, you’ll need to facilitate the process. A briefcase doesn’t come close to fitting your whole workstation in it like the Cyber Box does. It’s a cubicle on the move that, when on your way out, forces you to take the elevator.

Designer Jacky Nicolas wanted to give workers a way to lock up their computer into an elegant case when not in use. It was designed for home use, but I can imagine this working well in the cubicle-ridden world of business.  It’s like a collapsible fortress of solitude that you can lock up to keep Lex Luthers (your co-workers) away from.  You can bet that with a base made of beechwood, chromium metal parts and industrial castors, the Cyber Box doesn’t come in cheap.  Although, if you’re Bill Lumburg it won’t matter.
