stealth switch: hides applications with a simple foot click
If you sneak in games or are onto stuff you shouldn't doing at work with your computer then you are going to love this little gadget.

The Stealth Switch is a "desktop cloaking device", an innocous looking foot switch which will hide applications you are running with a simple foot tap. Whether it's a game, a swimsuit slideshow or something sleazier, the Stealth  Switch will hide it from your nosy co-worker or your boss before they see it.

But, that's not all. The Stealth Switch also mutes sounds, and the included software lets you choose which applications gets hidden and which doesn't. So, you can always have an Excel spreadsheet show up when you press the foot switch.  Of course, you can do the same thing with "boss key" applications but the stealth switch makes it easy and there  is very little chance that someone will notice a foot switch being tapped vis-a-vis obvious keystrokes or mouse gestures.

The Stealth Switch works with USB & PS/2 and if you want one you can grab it from here for US$ 29.99.
