The USB Wristband
Enigma50 writes "From the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) comes the world's first USB flash wristband. The uniquely designed Imation Flash Wristband provides an easy way to transport your precious digital files, such as photos, music or videos, securely around your wrist or attached to a backpack. Sure to be a hit with the kids!"
the only thing dumber than this product will be the lawsuit spawning from some previously unknown IP company suing Imation over their wristband patent.
Flash Trenchcoat. Sure to be a hit with the kids.
Hold on, there's a knock at the door...

USB wristwatch, keychain, swiss army knife, rubber ducky...wake me when someone gets one implanted in their finger.
And no...not the one that looks like a thumb. An actual finger.
This is too dorky for even a geek.
I just prick my finger, stick it up to the PC and I'm good to go. Great for downloading virus definitions.

What else can we stick a USB drive in?
Well if you want to get pummeled you could always say, "Your Mother" "Your Wife" or "Your Girlfriend".

Are you new to the English language? The correct word order for preparing your "hardware" for use in the FU-FME drive is "I just finger my prick."
I'm still waiting for a USB buttplug or suppository. This way I can give it to people after I tell them to shove their stupid .doc files up their ass.
I guess that would put a whole new definition of "pulling a paper out of one's ass"/
Navicula hydraulica plena anguilarum est. Omnes castelli tuus nostri sunt. Ed elli avea del cul fatto trombetta.

Surely we will see a USB2.0 Toilet dubbed iPee. This will be the beginning of the end.
Announcing the USB Vibrator.
Download different settings onto the flash memory! Plus an internet connection, make it programmable, and you can titilate your woman from across the globe!

USB Vibrator, Inc. takes no responsibility if your USB Vibrator is hacked and some crazy fourteen year old puts it on the highest setting while your significant other is in a meeting.
Wrist crossbow with USB-enabled darts. Shoot an update over to the guys down the hall. Writes once, reads once (more if you're lucky and/or have good aim). It's perfect: violent AND disposable, so everyone wins. Well, except the consumer, but since when has anyone cared about THEM?
Hmm, putting a thumbdrive on my keyring might be a great idea. I never misplace my thumbdrive but I couldn't tell you where my keys are right now...

Having my porn files on my wrist gets them ONE STEP CLOSER to being truly "interactive".

256MB should be enough for anyone.
Well, I'm a geek, but I'd fell the urge to kick the shit out of anybody who was wearing one of these things.
Post may contain irony: discontinue use if experiencing mood swings, nausea or elevated blood pressure.
I'm assuming that when you say 'anyone', you mean 'dead people'?
which is totally what she said
What videos is one going to carry around on 256 MB? How many songs is that?
My guess would be short porn clips. I don't think anyone ever lasts an entire movie anyway, let alone a single scene.
Live forever, or die trying.
Wouldn't the wrist motion unplug the wristband from the USB port, though?
