Hide That Pr0n With StealthSwitch
A recent survey of 2,057 people at salary.com says that a typical office worker admits to wasting 1.7 hours of a typical 8.5 hour work day doing non-work related tasks. The most popular time waster is "personal Internet use" where you might be checking your eBay bids or looking at the latest nude picture of <insert famous celebrity here>.

Assuming you don't want your boss to see the incriminating windows, you might need a gadget like the StealthSwitch. Install the software and plug in the StealthSwitch either in-line with your keyboard or into an open USB port. The StealthSwitch sits on the floor. With the tap of your foot, incriminating windows along with their audio and video effects disappear. Not just minimize, mind you, but totally disappear. When the coast is clear, another tap of the foot restores everything to normal.

I personally work at home and have small children, so I am always conscious of what I am doing on my computer. I am also on a Mac, so even if I needed this device, I personally couldn't use it. But a lot of you out there still run Windows and need to be able to hide things fast. This device is for you.
