Wristwatch USB Drive

Posted by timothy on from the batman-batman dept.

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 ;))

    Made it look nice? With that honking USB connector wrapped around the wrist strap? Why not brand the word "NERD" across your forehead?

      Hey, don't knock the Geek self-advertising. I've worn the Matrix Binary Watch I bought from Thinkgeek for the past year. It's been a great conversation piece with non-nerds, and even (gasp!) girls. Just conversation, though, and only about the watch, but it's better than I was doing.

    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.

  10. Batwatch by wideBlueSkies · · Score: 4, Funny

    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.

  13. One decent sized clip? by mao+che+minh · · Score: 4, Funny
    Cmon, all porn afficiados know that the best part of any porno is the first and last 2:30 (precisely). The former being the entertaining oral sex scene, and the ladder being the build up to climax and the resulting "money shot". In this respect, this watch could be harnessed to store the power of 20-30 decent porn clips, not just one.

    When you absolutely, positively have to beat off right now, accept no substitutes.

    I wouldn't hold my breath for it. Using Bluetooth will require some serious battery power
    All they need to do is make the watch using those kinetic self-winding mechanisms in it. I gather from the first 100 beating-off-to-porn posts, no slashdotter would have to worry about power again.

    It's incredibly easy to set up a USB drive in Linux.

    1. Compile USB support into your kernel.
    2. Reboot.
    3. Become root.
    4. Create a mount point.
    5. Give your non-privileged user rights to access that mount point.
    6. Insert the USB drive.
    7. Figure out the device number that it has been assigned.
    8. Mount the drive.

    Linux is the easiest, most intuitive operating system out there. No other OS comes close.
