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 ;))

    Is this thing waterproof? If so, how deep can it go before it cracks under pressure?

    You know, A Proud American (if that is your real name), I see you on here constantly posting about how the latest post isn't something that interests you or how something else is so much cooler. Now, ordinarily, I welcome a breath of fresh air (metaphorically, at least) but in your case, your opinions seem less backed up by logic and more based on a desire to be contrary for the sake of contrariness.

    While I'd be the first to agree that maybe a radio isn't cool just because it runs Linux, or a watch isn't cool just because it has USB, this tends to be the theme of Slashdot. Certainly, I take it with something of a grain of salt and read other news sources, but I find Slashdot interesting. If you don't like the common topics (like useless gadgetry), then don't read it. If you read for the sake of pointing out things you don't like, you are little more than a troll.

    Please befriend me if you don't like idiots.

  3. Thinkgeek/Slashdot Cross Promotion??? by dameron · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Two of the following are true:

    1) Love slashdot.

    2) Push nearly everyone I know in IT to read slashdot.

    3) Slashdot is still important.

    Unfortunately I'm struggling between #2 and #3.

    This post is nothing more than an advert for a 128MB USB wrist watch that has been heavily advertised by www.thinkgeek.com. I've seen half a dozen popular web sites today that mention this watch and -every- one mentions thinkgeek yet somehow slashdot manages to find a "submission" that doesn't.

    Odd. Yep. Unlikely. Yeppers.

    Still, a neat piece of tech, not nearly worth $100. A 128mb keychain is like $30 and few will care if you're keychain is goofy. They're much more likely to notice the geek watch.

    I mean, but your friends will dig it, and that's what matters...
