SanDisk Spins SD/USB Flash Combo

Posted by timothy on from the but-where-fit-the-bits? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Flash memory pioneer SanDisk has created an innovative memory card packaging technology that enables memory cards to plug into both SD card slots and USB ports. The new approach eliminates the need to use SD-to-USB adapters when accessing the contents of an SD card on a laptop, PC, or other system that lacks an integrated SD card slot."

    the best ideas really are the simple ones
    According to the NYU School of Journalism, the "Top Ten Ideas for 2004" are as follows:

    1. The Legacy Media.

    2. He said, she said, we said.

    3. What the printing press did to the Catholic Church the blogging press does to the media church.

    4. Open Source Journalism, or: "My readers know more than I do." (Dec. 28)

    5. News turns from a lecture to a conversation. (Dec. 29)

    6. "Content will be more important than its container." (Jan. 1)

    7. "What once was good--or good enough--no longer is." (Jan.4)

    8. "The victory of affinity over geography."

    9. The Pajamahadeen.

    10. The Reality-Based Community.

    Yes, I was scratching my head a little after reading that, too.

    But it does underscore one point: the best ideas are not really all that simple.
