It's not even a proto, just a mock up.

 

stupid idea. why not just stick a LCD read out on it with a % reading.?

Yakumo

 

because lcds are not cool anymore.

 

yeah, everyone is obsessed with analogue stuff now-adays

 

then it could have an analogue meter, with a VERY small needle and stuff. Heh.

 

and baloons are? :shrug:

Yakumo

 

no, but this is just a mock up, so more than likely you will never see one in real life.

 

Balloons are INSANELY cool, Yakumo-sama. TMBG still don't know where they make them, though.

/And, the other day, I won one, from that gambling machine in the men's room. It was oddly shaped, though...

 

LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

I can even imagine ;-) it wasn´t really a Balloon you "won" .

 

Analogue wins every time. I think it's cute. Now, I have no use for a thumb drive (iPod does that function), but this is the coolest one I've seen since the sushi USB drives.

 

Meh, it's a gimmick. How reliable is it, that's what will make me buy it.

 

I hear thats what Clowns use for "Weenie Baloons" at Circuses, fairs, etc. Wonder how true that is.

 

hide one in your little brother's ultra gaming pc and let him download p0rn to that thing...and see what happens

 

You sir, are a genious!

 

I like it, it's just like neat, we're growing out of the practical and into the ridiculous.

 

If you pop the baloon do you lose all your data?

 

So, if you need to transport large amounts of data you are punished by having to have a massive bulbous inflated balloon in your pocket.

Eva is right, this thing will never see the light of day. That might be a humorous desk toy, but as a flash drive it is pointless, impracticle and borderline retarded.

 

They haven't found a way to make it work, is just one of those design experiments, like the exterior hull of a starship.

Speaking of weird stuff, what about the optimus keyboard? that russian guy just dissapeared...
