Another trick you might try is called steganography...which involves embedding a file inside another. You could "hide" your word docs pr0n pics whatever inside some mp3 files (which naturally would be found on an iPod) and anyone who sorted through them would just see the songs. If you want to hide or secure the songs themselves...well that's a different story.

As for FireWire vs USB 2.0...FireWire requires less CPU overhead to do its job (just like comparing SCSI vs IDE)...the faster the machine, the less difference you're likely to see. FireWire has a peak bandwidth of 400MB/sec, and USB 2 has a peak bandwidth of 480MB/sec...but you can usually expect higher _throughput_, especially when the system load is relatively high, with FireWire.

Apple has brought next-gen "FireWire 800" to market. Anyone know more about this?
