Luanne Paisley, a frequent business traveler, has long been reluctant to work on her notebook computer in public places or crowded flights...

Long plane or train trips are prime time for catching up on work. If you travel with a laptop and work on confidential projects or documents you know close quarters make it impossible to keep your information private. Rocket Security shades is a $20 download that alters your laptops display by putting a pattern or color on the screen, making it much harder for nosey neighbors to peek at your work. Settings can be altered for high to low security. The program turns on and off instantly using a hot key.
