Credit Card sized 5GB HD to arrive late this year

An anonymous reader writes "PC World reports in this article: "The card actually has moveable parts inside its thin shell," says Bill Heil, vice president of StorCard. A spinning wheel made of Mylar is engaged when the card is inserted into a StorReader, a USB-connected drive or PC Card that reads and writes to the StorCard. The reader is expected to retail for under $100 and the cards for under $15 each, Heil says. The StorCard and StorReader are scheduled to become available in the second half of 2003."

To parent of parent:
NO! DONT do that! That will kill you! Tinfoil hats protect you from mind reading devices and microwaves.
Mod your microwave - it needs to operate with an open door for this experiment to work.
Put on your your tinfoil hat and switch on your microwave (with open door - that the important part) and watch the pretty sparks!
Doing this 3 times a week makes you permanently immune to mind-reading-devices.

To parent:
Dont kill him (infertility is enough :)! Let him spread word about the mind-reading-device-protection to his 'anon tinfoil hat users' group :)

If this post doesnt make sense - try reading it backwards!
