Wristwatch USB Drive
opwierde writes "For the gadget happy multitude LAKS has made the ultimate wristwatch. It's a USB drive combined with a watch and they've managed to make it look rather nice." (This looks like a nice place to store a persistent homedir to use with Knoppix-MiB ;))
Now my hands can be used for other things! Ohhh wait, 128MB ... hmmm, that's a decent sized porn clip...
Nevermind, there are no new uses for my hands here, sorry.

It's a shame that cord just sticks out like that, it just makes the thing look ridiculous.
Now, if it were Bluetooth enabled for data transfer...

I wonder if I could use this at work...
"Hey, this server's root drive just crashed!"
"No problem, I'll just boot it off my handyh watch here!"
Have EVDO, will travel.
I'd rather carry a floppy in my pocket
Hottie: Is that a floppy in your pocket or are you just happy... hey wait. That is a floppy in your pocket. Like, you're such a nerd! Forget it!

Is it just the pr0n you're suggesting he needs the magnifier for or... um... nevermind.
I think it would be a little strange-looking keeping the watch on your wrist while sticking it next to a USB port. And how the heck are you supposed to type at the same time, especially if the ports are in the back of the computer!? It would be cool if you could auto-sync your watch time by plugging it in though.
I'm going to be the most popular guy in my cubical farm. The babes will be lining up. Fame. Sex. Better gas mileage. All thanks to my new uber-geek watch.
(PS: Sex for one still counts as sex, no?)

I really typed that, and hit submit.
Wow.
A USB Girlfriend? Would that acronym be
Undress Some Baby?
Unsane Serial Bitch?
Unending Soulcrushing Banter?
Unloved Slightly Bloated?

Made it look nice? With that honking USB connector wrapped around the wrist strap? Why not brand the word "NERD" across your forehead?
Watches from Laks? Smells fish to me...

Really useful for keeping those USB drive drivers... errr, hang on...
>>The already check you body and your keychain for usb thumbdrives.
How exactly do they check your body? Is this like prison where you have to drop em' and endure being probed by the world's longest finger?
Not trying to be a troll here. I'm really curious.
Huh?

When I first saw the watch with the cable sticking out if it, I thought of Batman using it in lieu of something in the batbelt. You know, the Penguin pushes him off the top of a skyscraper and he saves himself by shooting a cord out of his watch and attaching it to a flagpole or something.
Then spiderman finds out and sues him for IP or patent infringement or something.
Huh?
He's an MCSE. Give him a break.
Do some research. Get one and a take a trip couple of miles out to sea in a boat. Attach watch to wrist. Attach a large lump of concrete to your ankles and throw the concrete overboard whilst grasping nokia communicator firmly between your teeth. Post results to slashdot as you go.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe

Floppies aren't floppy anymore, they're *hard*, baby. YEAH BABY! YEAH!
You are in a twisty maze of processor lines, all alike.
There is a lot of hype here.

It's incredibly easy to set up a USB drive in Linux.
Linux is the easiest, most intuitive operating system out there. No other OS comes close.

You're lucky you were able to fit that much on your arms. My wrists have allready been filled up with this.
No, not really.
