USB Boss Panic Button attracts more attention than it deflects

This USB Panic Button claims to help you cover up your illicit web surfing the instant you spot the boss behind your back. Simply lift the protective cover and hit that big red button and your computer calls up a work themed spreadsheet meant to hide whatever non-work releated screen is underneath. Now there’s not the slightest chance the boss will ask about a large red button covered by a plastic container that sits beside your desk — is there? For the super slow and terminally lazy there’s even a set of spreadsheets that come with the panic button.

    Add in the mirror for spotting said boss…

    What I’d like to see is a button like this to trigger the USB foam rocket launchers out there… when someone asks “what’s that button for?” you can say “stand here for the best angle,” pop the cover and hit the button, and launch! (The rockets could be positioned on top of a tall file cabinet or something–with a USB extender cable if needed–to be out of sight, too.)
