Dragon's Den idiots

[abhay6547]

This is just cringe worthy and down right embarrassing.

[AlwaysFSX]

Oh dear, just from the start this sounds like a bad idea...

[Tea1337]

I don't want that in my room. Or in my living room, that is honestly the worst PC protection device. IF they hear it go off they are just going to run faster

[M-ursu]

Well... i think that they are correct.

(It is not a bad card, but we do not need them).

All I see is a bunch of fools, dragons and the guys behind the product. That being said almost anyone would have said to bill Gates and Steve jobs taht their ideas were dumb and not going to go anywhere so I dislike the dragons dens. Just because a few rich business people say it wont work doesn't mean it won't take off. I'm sure that all of the Dragons could have invested in some items with a lot of potential, but because it had no meaning for them they didn't. However this product was ludicrous. 

 

Here is their website for lolz: http://www.barracudasecurity.com/index.htm

They had a terrible idea because they didn't think it through at all and just wasted money because they don't actually UNDERSTAND how computers work. A laptop is a PC...

[TheSLSAMG]

Hahahahahhaha

 

PCI security card.

5 year development LOL

 

what did the other guy even go for? All he did was introduce himself, partially.

to be fair, he holds the box and gives the sample to them.

You could literally just link two or three bluetooth motion sensors together, one of them on the pc, and then make them set off an alarm if any of them move.

[Antistatic12]

ouch! dat burn.

[Lord Pantaloons]

This was painful to watch

[CjlabanG]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Don't even have to be in the room to steal data.

[Bonsai99]

The way the dragons laughed at them for pretty much losing 500k was kinda brutal.

But that's how it goes.

[zinton]

It looks like if they every took off (which was unlike) they would have had some trademark problems considering that they call it their "CUDA Card"

The idea was so sad. Their faces were so sad I could have cried for them if I wasn't laughing.

But seriously, it could have worked at my work place, we have p4s and god knows what AMD PCs here with all our data locally stored. Too bad nobody will be around to hear the alarm sound off

[SpaceSquid]

At least Ling went on to sell cars, his website is very good.

[Bonsai99]

Just because they have a website doesn't mean they took off, anyone can make a website. That doesn't mean they are successful.

whoops forgot an "if" In there

[GoodBytes]

Soo... just for fun.. let assume we are in 90's where we had PCI slots, and let's say this product was "interesting", just for fun.

What happens if I adjust the computer position for a more comfortable experience at work, now the entire building alarm will set off as they use a light sensor, and sensitive accelerometers?

You know how many time the alarm will be set off, even by a person walking buy and casting a shadow due to the light sensor detecting a changement of light?

What makes no sense in all of this, is that WiiU gamepad, has a an accelerometer, gyroscope, powerful wireless card for a lag free streaming of video and almost importantly control, NFC, a touch screen and more, and cost all together 150$, which probably Nintendo does 10-20$ on (maybe even more). WHY this thing is so big, and cost so much, when it has all the same sensors... and a light sensor which you can find on ebay for a few pennies.

AND to add, retail stores have USB alarm systems which protects a bunch of system at once, if the USB plug comes out, then the alarm triggers. AND there are metal wires lock that exists, and every desktop and laptop have a hole for it.

This product is idiotic even in the past.

P.S: is it me or this card says "high voltage" on it? LOL Watch out! 12V!!!!

And a dye capsule? Why? so it burst inside the computer? Oh no, the inside of the computer will turn orange or green!

Not to mention that laptops are PC's. Clearly he had no idea what he is doing.

[T.Vengeance]

And this is why I hate the show lol.

[KrazyKap]

Is it just me who thinks this is purely for TV, and there was no such investment or development of this clearly useless device? (just like every other reality TV show..)

[kuzimins]

That show is just stupid. They didn't like the magnificent p45 either

[Ertman]

Well this would be partially useful in 1985, although with a different interface.
