As you probably know, TechSnack was launched to help fellow friends escape the 3:00 PM boredom that sets in at work! Well, what if your boss finds you reading TechSnack during 'working' hours? 

Easy! Just get a Thanko USB Stealth Switch!  This plugs directly into your USB port.  The other end can be discreetly hidden under your desk - near your foot.

Now, when you detect movement nearby (bosses usually make a lot of noise, just to show that they are 'working'), just press the foot-switch - and *presto* - your pre-set application appears in the foreground!

The stealth switch comes with a software to customize the kind of behavior you want, if the switch is pressed.  For example, you can do the following:

• Hide Current Window
• Hide Open Window
• Hide All Open Windows Except Windows With Titles Containing the Following Text (specify the title)

Do people share your computer and you are afraid they will discover your stealth program?  No problem!

The app comes password protected.  So, only you can launch your special stealth-switch app and, of course, continue reading TechSnack!

This is currently available in Japan for approx $25 - a worthwhile investment, if you ask me!
