Microsoft COFEE Won't Perk You Up, But It Will Instamagically Hack  
Your Computer
You know how in cop shows they seize deviants' computers and bring  
them back to the lab for some good ol' latex gloved analysis to prove  
how obviously guilty or sick the suspect is? That's old hat.  
Microsoft's latest treat for law enforcement is COFEE (Computer Online  
Forensic Evidence Extractor), a USB drive that'll cut through whatever  
flimsy security miscreants have slapped on their computer in a flash,  
and then automatically analyze the dirty bits the cops need to bust  
their ass, from internet activity to stored data, no pwnage skillz or  
trips to the lab needed. Microsoft's giving the wonder tube to lawmen  
for free, and 2,000 officers in 15 countries are already using it. But  
will it work on Macs? [Seattle Times, Thanks
