Things get smaller shock

A memory card company called Pretec have developed a flash memory card smaller than a USB plug. This quote at the end of the article fascinates me:

Crucially, the iDisk Diamond has a tiny loop on which to attach a wrist or neck lanyard - or, even, Solid Alliance suggests, an earring hook. Heaven knows, it's going to be hard not to lose the things otherwise...

The ultimate in nerdish fashion-wear? I suppose next it'll be USB tongue studs.

I'd love to be able to wear my entire literary opus on my earlobe. *realises her ears aren't pierced* D'oh...

It's small enough that I could probably get away with wearing it as jewelry.  And I would wear it, definetley.  Instead of tearing my bookbag apart to see if I'm missing my USB key, I could just look into a mirror.

Clearly, no one involved in the making of this has ever lost an earring. Those things are fairly easy to lose and a bitch to find. My mother loses hers a lot.

I reckon they'll be able to fit them with a whistle locator. Speakers are small enough, and it would be easy to make it a feature-part.

Yes. And then again no...
