PRETEC IS a well-known player in flash memory for special purposes biz, and a recent addition to its line-up certainly pulls a red underline below the "special purposes" part.

The i-Disk Bullet Proof is being manufactured in sizes from 128MB up to a nice two gig part, is resistant to water, ice, fire, napalm and of course, bullets. Not certain about grenades, though.

Of course, a bit of Chinglish was unavoidable, and the company is also claiming that they're manufacturing devices in "mental casing".

We guess that was either a typo or it means that data on the chip is resistant to telepathy as well.

We are expecting a sample for a review, and you can bet we will test the bullet-proof claim in local shooting range.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
