In my humble opinion, PC Mag Executive Editor Dan Costa is right--China will lose the censorship game. And that little fact is even more prevalent now with this little USB Dongle. Coined the Freedom Stick, it allows you to get around the fact that China blocks your access to certain websites.
This $30 USB dongle is pre-loaded with software that secures the comm. system for any computer its plugged into. Created by Germany's Chaos Computer Club, the stick uses the Onion Router network to cloak your connections, routing traffic around the world through anonymous computers, thus avoiding detection.
Get your hands on it now, as it will only be available until the end of the Olympic games. Sure the product page is in German, but you have the freedom to use Babblefish to translate for you.

I think it's simply a waste of money to buy this dongle, a free portable-ware called Ultrasurf can be run from anywhere and it works very well with Firefox and IE.
