Yesterday I discovered some bloody fantastic software called MojoPac. The theory here is that you can take any usb storage device (memory stick, ipod, psp etc..) and use the extra space you have on it to create a virtual pc profile. Only this is way more hardcore, since it leaves no traces on any computer, is launched by one file and though it uses the hardware of whatever computer you plug it into, it doesn’t interact with it. You can copy data back and forth by going to the Host PC and copying files to the usb device. However the point is not to just have data transfered between it…. Nope, point is that you can install ANY windows xp program inside your mojo and then run it on whatever computer you sit down at.

That eliminates the need for a laptop, and since it leaves not traces you can say plug your ipod into your work computer, library, cafe or something and instead of being stuck with their crap, you can just switch over to your desktop and run your doom 3 game, or you can play your mp3’s on winamp and then switch to the host pc and you will still hear the music playing.

I don’t know if I can better explain it, than to say that I am doing a 30 day trial right now and I AM going to pay for it. Right now it’s $29.99 for intro period, and then they will be making it $59.99. Yes, I am sure that there will be ways around paying for it eventually, but this is such a fantastic find.

Ok so I plug my ipod in to pc and either autorun/open mojo file > Open my firefox browser that is pimped out with all the stuff I like including a new plugin that lets me see and edit my utorrent program from away from home by hitting alt+u, so I can control what my computer is doing that way…. OR I can open the VNC Client on my mojo desktop and use it to remotely access my computer at home (thereby having a desktop, in a desktop, in a desktop). I don’t need to do this at all since mojo can have as many files on it as I want, but it’s nice to know that I can get at my 2.5TB of hard drive space (ok, that’s counting the usb terabyte which I have turned off most of the time since it’s a little bit unstable) on my home pc.

Check it out at mojopac.com.
They have a video demo if you want to see it running.
