STICK THIS<br />
We’re not usually the type to be impressed<br />
by a memory stick, but the makers of the new<br />
Victorinox Secure (from the same people that make the<br />
iconic Swiss Army Knife) claim it to be the most secure memory<br />
stick on the commercial market. It uses a pioneering fingerprint<br />
recognition system, in conjunction with a thermal sensor, so that “even if they cut<br />
your finger off, using it cold and dead won’t work”. That’s re-assuring then! If anyone<br />
tries to take the stick apart, the device has an auto-destruct system that burns its CPU<br />
and memory chip irrevocably. Very Mission Impossible!<br />
Prices from £100 for the 8GB stick upwards. Available exclusively at Victorinox, 95-96<br />
New Bond Street, W1<br />

FOR EVERY SEASON<br />
Few of you may have been aware that when<br />
Boyzone star Stephen Gately died whilst on<br />
holiday in Mallorca last October, he was just<br />
pages away from finishing his debut novel – a<br />
true labour of love which the young star was<br />
immensely proud of achieving. Now, finished by<br />
his friends and family, <strong>The</strong> Tree Of Seasons<br />
will be published on 13 May. <strong>The</strong> story is a classic<br />
tale good and evil, chronicling the adventures<br />
of three children who discover a tree which is a<br />
doorway into a magical world.<br />
It’s published by Hodder & Stoughton in<br />
hardback for £14.99.<br />
