No and fuck you.  That's not exactly something I find 'important'.  Please seek help.  Maybe I want to lock down my shit and no be tracked on the internets.  I don't want to be 'out there'.  That's the difference between me and the trend, I'm not a facebook guy, I don't twitter or tweet.  Honestly, if I could get away with it, I'd skim my cell phone across a pond (I shot one a few years ago and downgraded to a pager for a year or so).   I own a shredder and a fire safe too because certain documents/information and firearms merit it.
lol, that's what these overpriced needless gimmicks are aimed at, paranoid people.

yeah, how exactly is having a gimmick over-priced USB stick going to do to stop the internet from being a privacy blackhole?

As you put it, 'lol' no -not anyone could get into this, and that's the fucking point of it genius, go do some product research.  This 'gimmick' is about keeping your shit secure.  It's that simple.

it has a secure browser built into the drive.

Secure & Private Web Browsing
IronKey drives come pre-configured with a portable version of Mozilla's popular Firefox Web browser for Windows computers. All data, cookies, and Web history are maintained locally on the drive. The optional IronKey Secure Sessions service protects your privacy on the Web by triple-encrypting all of your Web surfing traffic, and provides secure DNS services to help assure that you are not visiting a spoofed website.

Keeping it secure from who? The corporations?!?!

The only thing useful is that you can have a "secure" session on a public computer, which probably wouldn't be secure anyway as the network traffic would be logged. If you need to encrypt photos or files, there are a myriad of free programs to do so which can be used on any removable media. It is overpriced and I can guarantee you don't need that level of security.

Anyone that would want to get onto it, police, federal agencies, anyone that matters could because you'd have to surrender the password to them. So who are you keeping your data secure from, those russians driving round your neighbourhood, or the terrorist cell living next door to you?

Among others, sure why not?  Yea, go ahead and trust those 'free' encryption programs.  Again, I want to lock my shit down -It's a simple concept. You can't guarantee that I don't need that level of security -you don't really know me.

Oh so now I'd have me surrender the password?  Earlier you were saying anyone could get in if they wanted to.  Okay.

It isn't my fault that your identity isn't worth stealing.

The government here uses those USB sticks for Top Secret data.

And if Brin wants to lock his files down/browse the web securely, I don't blame him. Firewalls and anti-phishing tools can only do so much so what's the harm in an extra level of security?

There's no harm, all I was saying is that it's a rip off when you can add that level of security for free.

The internet isn't secure, your system is only as secure as the weakest point, sure you can browse without leaving any cookies or data behind whilst using an Ironkey, but most public networks log all traffic anyway making it a moot point. Firefox has private browsing built into it now anyway. It's a complete waste of money.

For you it would be a waste of money.  Nobody is forcing you to buy one either, thank god.

Heh heh... I'm not surprise you have no idea what I'm writing about.  Keep on keeping on man.  I'm not H/J.  Bottom line is it's a cool piece of technology that prevents 'headaches' and apparently is out of the price range of a few haters here.  I find that kinda sad, but more of in a funny way.  So I can assume your real name is 'jord' then?  Yea, that's what I thought.
