Turn a storage device into your personal PC

MojoPac has the ability to transform your personal storage device into a powerful private PC. Your iPod, phone, USB hard drive, and your USB flash drive can all now be the only item you need to carry around to get the job done. With MojoPac installed on your device, and applications and files loaded, you can automatically launch your environment onto any host PC running Windows XP. Music, games, files, and applications are all accessible, within a local view.
MojoPac seems like a promising application, with some great features for security and protection, as well as convenience, and personal preference settings. A number of companies now have IT policies, and restrictions for what types of applications users can install on computers, running MojoPac on your device is a way around this. When you unplug your device from the computer you were using, there are no traces of your personal info that are left behind. It is a portable solution that can be loaded onto a number of different devices to ensure your job gets done, in a secure, convenient way.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Lets hope it can live up to the expectations.

If you don't want to shell out 30 (or 50) bucks, PortableApps.com is a directory of... uhm, portable apps. It's just loose apps, not a complete framework, but it might be worth a try. It is also FREE, and perhaps in the future it could get closer to mojopac's spiffiness.

Wow, what a huge dissapointment for what I anticipated to be a great application! Take a look through the forums to hear what the beta testers thought about how it worked (or didn't work). Guess I'll check back in 6 months to see if they're able to do what they say they can.

You mean, something like QEMU?

With the added bonus that QEMU is free, will run just about any OS, and run _on_ any os...
MojoPac has the slick veneer of a shady app.
