Gareth Williams' Spy Troubles by Isaac Anguiano

The mysterious death alluding Gareth Williams, GCHQ code breaker, raises a lot of questions, but leaves many unanswered. Who was involved in his death? Was it a suicide or a homicide? Was his death linked to his work due to his private life? Why did MI6 wait so long to report him missing? According to sources his private life was bizarre. His wardrobe consisted of a myriad of women’s apparel, ranging from shoes to different clothing sizes, wigs, and makeup. He was also into many different sexual activities. According to his landlady “she and her husband had found him shouting for help, with his hands tied to his bedposts, three years before his death. He said he was seeing if he could get free. They cut him free, believing it ‘sexual rather than escapology.’” The way William’s was found in the bag could also have been some sort of “escapology” act or a sexual act of some sort, but one thing is for sure, he would have had to be alive in order to get in the bag. If he had been dead rigor mortis would have made it impossible to place him in the bag. Due to the fact that he would have had to be alive in order to be placed in such a manner in the bag, people speculate whether a third party was present in his flat at the moment Williams died. Inconclusive DNA evidence was also found on a crumpled paper towel in the kitchen and the fact that his body was decomposed severely makes it impossible to run any type of tests on him in order to check if he was drugged or not. His body had deteriorated due to the heat from the bag, but also due to the fact that his heater was on for reasons unknown during summer. [via BBC news]

Do Spy Pens really work?

The short answer, YES. And they are really cool. If you want to get a taste of being a spy, spying or get your hands on really cool inexpensive spy equipment, then this is definitely the way to go.

Now, I know certain hidden cameras are more for retail use, trying to catch light-fingered employees with their hands in the till, but I couldn’t resist looking in the murky underworld of hidden spy cameras especially after trying out these spy pens.

To start with, the idea behind these cameras is to catch people in the act, doing things they’re not supposed to be doing. Many of these hidden spy cameras are incognito as everyday household items such as wall clocks, door bells, lambs, fire alarms, digital alarm clocks. You get the idea, something that you wouldn’t even think about twice if it was right in front of your face. The pen goes one step beyond because you can carry it with you and no one will suspect as much as if you were to carry your alarm clock with you.

Plain and simple, Pen spy cameras are cool. The pens do write by the way, just make you don’t leave it unattended as someone will pick it up, answer a couple of crossword puzzles and walk off with it in their top pocket. I bet this happens a lot with spy pens, so be careful. The best part is that they have an integrated DVR and plug right into your computer for uploading video content.

The other cool personal spy camera are the key-chain devices. They can look like are car key control but really they are recording devices complete with camera, camcorder, audio recorder with lots of memory that can be accessed by connecting the device to your PC. Really cool, and unless you’re at one of those parties where people mix there car keys in a bowl, chances are nobody will walk off with this spy gadget.
