New spy cam software has been compared to scramble suits worn by narcotics officers in Philip K Dick’s novel/movie A Scanner Darkly. No one wants their own mug shown in some criminal surveillance video simply because you became an anecdote for “the wrong place at the wrong time.” With this new software, faces will be blurred and encrypted; protecting the identity of anyone innocent that is caught on camera. So, just because some other guy seems to be proceeding through life like “a cat without whiskers perpetually caught behind the refrigerator” doesn’t mean you have to suffer for it.

It’s not surprise your house is bugged by the CIA. After all, you did conspire with Colonel Sanders on a dirty bomb made from re-fried mac and cheese. Right now you’re in a tight place and every word you say can be used against you when you’re getting fucked hard by a judge. Avoid doing hard time with this $70 Laser Surveillance Defeater. Slap one to your window and people listening in won’t be able to hear anything thanks to jamming frequencies made specifically for long-distance microphones.

You can always save the $70 but you’ll be dead within the hour. Make haste!

Filming people doing silly sings is much easier when your camera is hidden secretly in the arms of your sunglasses. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spend $402 on these suave spy sunglasses so you can be the next Ethan Hunt.

A simple button push is all it takes to switch the view that you wish to record on the fully featured wireless receiver. The color video is recorded with audio so that you can view your exploits later.

And exploits there will be. With these glasses you could find great blackmail material on just about anyone! Chinavasion is not responsible if you’re executed in a foreign country for espionage.

If your one of those guys who call themselves “protective”, but who really just feel the need to be all creepy and know every single aspect of their girl’s life, this handy Keystroke Recorder might be right up your alley. We’ve seen other contraptions which you can add to your keyboard cable to log the output, but this recorder looks much more inconspicuous, appearing like a standard keyboard port extension.

Fine, fine, so there are other reasons you might want to use such a gadget then just spying on your girlfriend. Maybe you have kids in the house, and you want to monitor their chatting and internet activity. Come on, we all know there are other ways to go about that. Just get it over with and accuse her of cheating already so you can go abuse someone else. (more…)

While it looks to be as easy as strapping a stethoscope to a stick, the Neighbor Rod is a tool used for looking creepy and eavesdropping on your friends, family, and neighbors, without them being any the wiser to your intentions.

Oddly enough, the Neighbor Rod can also be used to knock on the wall, we guess to ask for silence. Well now, that isn’t very neighborly is it? — Andrew Dobrow

Wong. James Wong. Or so we imagine, some Asian “James Bond-esque” spy using this Gum Wrapper Camera to gather information about a crime organization. The little spy camera is made to fit into an empty gum wrapper, to disguise your true espionage identity.

The little gadget records both video and audio, recording the media onto MicroSD card. If the criminal overlords become suspicious when you offer them a piece of gum, just comment on their horrendous breath. That should at least clear you of any spy suspicions, or at the very least give you a few seconds to run away as they try to check their breath. — Andrew Dobrow

You can tell by the devious smile on the little pictured brats face that he is just waiting to watch his sister undress or something equally disgusting. Screw you, kid. Get a life. Use your R/C Spy Video Car for more beneficial purposes, such as finding where your mom hid your x-mas presents. This guy can transmit video from up to 75 feet away.

Get yourself a little preview a day early on what presents lie in store for you to shred open in giddy spurts of wrapping paper freedom. Well, that is assuming that this isn’t what your getting for Christmas. Then you’re kinda screwed. Your mommy spent $120 on this spy mobile. – Andrew Dobrow

We would have been a little more excited if somebody else had leaked their software by mistake and allowed everybody to download for free, nonetheless we are slightly excited to learn that Microsoft Japan mistakenly put Internet Explorer 7 (Japanese version) on Windows Update this afternoon. The above screen cap was taken at 2:57 pm Tokyo time today. Some Japanese users have even managed to install the new browser successfully, keeping in mind that the public release should be in 2008.

The company took the program down and issued an apology afterwards, but we think there’s not much to be sorry about. They even taught people how to uninstall it. Yeah, like we want those extra bugs on your super stable OS. –Sam Chan
