Optical USB Mouse With Privacy Button Hides Secret Stuff From Prying Eyes

We've all looked at things on the net that we would rather not get
caught looking at - I'm thinking of when I look for gifts for the wife
online (what did you think I meant?) - and whilst there are many devices
that offer a means of hiding either web pages or programs at a moments
notice this USB Smart Privacy Mouse could prove a somewhat faster
alternative on account of it being directly to hand (assuming, that is,
that you are not otherwise engaged).

The USB Smart Privacy Mouse, as well as offering 800dpi resolution
optical tracking, offers an instant privacy mode courtesy of an extra
side mounted button that, with the assistance of the devices software,
can be programmed to hide the application of your choice with a simple
click - though if you decide not to install the supplied software the
button will revert to simply perform the equivalent function as 'the
short cut key at the right of your windows tool bar'.

In theory it's an elegantly simple solution right up until someone else
uses your computer and presses the button at which point the phrase
'there's no smoke without fire' will probably spring to mind - after
all, let's face it, if you're going to have a button to conceal dubious
items it would help matters if the button itself wasn't so blindingly
obvious.

The USB Smart Privacy Mouse retails for around $20.
