Jerry Jalava uses the 2GB memory stick, accessed by peeling back the "nail", to store photos, movies and programmes.
The finger is not permanently attached to his hand, so it can be easily left plugged into a computer when in use.
Mr Jalava says he is already thinking about upgrading the finger to include more storage and wireless technology.

There have been so many times I wished I had my USB stick with me. This would be ideal.

Brilliant. I always lose/misplace my USB sticks

It's cool, but makes me feel queasy.

Now i've just gotta lose a finger!

When i first read it i felt a bit weird, just imagined someone peeling back their own nail. Ugh.

After all these years, with all our knowledge and power and experts with costumes, why do they still use some magazine-model colour fleshtones and expect them to blend with normal people?

In theory then, my mate who lost his leg could store TBs of data.

Is keeping it in your pocket not convenient enough?

Can he pick his nose with it.

Sounds perfect, till you have to defrag

I'm suprised nobody has suggested having one embedded in your old fellah, peel back the foreskin, stick it in and away you go

ChrisJSY · 18 Mar 2009 at 12:22

I don't see anything fascinating or groundbreaking here.

Doesn't it get a bit wet when you're having a bath?

DampCat · 18 Mar 2009 at 12:30

What is this? Shindogu?
