Why do something the easy, cheap way when a computer-powered gizmo of dubious utility and durability does it the hard, expensive way? Render old CDs and DVDs unreadable not with sandpaper, but Brando's USB CD Destroyer.

Using "three carbon steel knurled points," this device will render the data-bearing surface completely illegible to laser beams in just 5 seconds. Good for 100,000 wipes, it needs a fully-powered USB port all to itself and can be run for up to a minute continuously. But remember, folks: you can hide your smut from your friends and family, but you can't hide it from the Architect.

The CD Destroyer is $30.
