Spy-stick keeps an eye on your kids
Let's face it, you can't trust your kids. Give them an inch and they'll take your credit cards, laptop and cellphone and run up huge charges on pay-per-view sex sites. So thank the sweet mother Bertie that fear-fuelling companies like CYBERsitter are around, with their remote tracking USB SnoopStick.
The SnoopStick is a two-pronged approach to monitoring your children. First off, you plug it into the family PC and install the software client; CYBERsitter promise that it's completely invisible, so tech-savvy junior can't spot it. Then, while you're out sipping gin with your friends and have a sudden Spidey-Sense tingle that your daughter is chatting with a sex offender, you can plug the SnoopStick into your friends' computer and it instantly connects online with the home PC.
Then you can monitor both sides of IM conversations, check what sites are being viewed, even send pop-up messages to warn your XXX-hungry son that his saucy-surfing days are numbered and you're about to log him off.
The full feature list is pretty scary:
Thank goodness you don't have to teach your children good internet sense or supervise them any more, you can rely on $59.95 gadgets like this instead.
