Car alarms are among the most mindless and anti-social features of modern life, so it’s not good news that after the howling car, which only makes afflicted passers-by want to blow the damn thing up while those trying to get to sleep want to blow the owner up as well, we are confronted with the threat of the howling laptop: Bondwell Europe Ltd of London N17 proudly announces that its latest models feature the Portable PC Alarm System, which as well as a security program to guard against unauthorised access to data, includes a motion detector alarm, which once set, triggers a 90 deciBel alarm that goes off if the machine is moved or lifted and can only be disarmed by entering a password code programmed by the owner; the system may give the owner the satisfaction that the thief will not get any value from the machine, but if he wants it back, he is likely to have to retrieve it, still squealing, from the nearest river.
