A Silicon Valley startup, MokaFive (http://www.mokafive.com/), has figured out how to separate your data from your computer so you can carry your data with you on a memory stick or any flash-based device.
Not only that, you can transfer your data--your contacts, documents, passwords, browser bookmarks and anything else you've stored locally on your computer--between different machines running Intel x86 chips.
So far these include Windows PCs, Macs and a new variation of Linux called BareMetal that's developed by MokaFive.
The company was founded by a Stanford computer science professor, Monica Lam, and three of her students after star venture capitalist Vinod Khosla discovered their technology--called LivePC--and pushed until they let him invest, according to MokaFive CEO Bill Demas.
MokaFive has solved several problems that the high-tech industry has been working on for over 10 years, Demas said, partly because it takes advantage of new trends in computing--like virtualization, which abstracts software from hardware--that weren't available to its predecessors.
