Just how many times were you forced to quickly switch the webpages you were reading as you noticed (or at least thought you did) that there was someone approaching from behind your chair or even taking a peek over your shoulder? Online gaming at work (not during your break), prohibited stuff, or simply minding other business of yours that has nothing to do with your job tasks, name it what you want – people should not see these things, no never whatsoever.

 

But what can you do if your boss or department chief is the kind of guy who likes sneaking upon people exactly to catch them red-handed? And what can you do when one of your work mates is closing in and he or she could find out the password to your hi5 account?

 

Well, constantly looking over your shoulder helps you not, because such a defensive and semi-paranoid behavior will clearly tell your colleagues that you're doing something you shouldn't be doing and draw their attention even more. If you want to keep an eye on what's going on behind you in style and with technically no effort at all, the Rear-view Computer Mirror is the key: we're talking about a small, convex, mirror that comes in a neat plastic casing and which can be installed on your computer monitor in no time.

 

The plastic casing comes in 5 nifty colors so you can match this defensive tool to your taste and work environment: you can choose between a clear one and a color variation coming in blue, green, red or yellow. The case has a small recessed part that makes it very easy to fit in the corner of your monitor; adding a small piece of velcro will make it stay in place quite well.

Of course you can use this rear-view mirror in your cubicle or with your notebook; now, using it in excess will definitely make people think that you're a tad paranoid, but if you can live with that, it's fine by us. The Rear-view Computer Mirror will set you back $13.95, a bit too much for a small piece of plastic and a mirror if you ask us, but hey, it's your secrets we're talking about here, isn't it?
