Looks cool, but is it real? If it is, it must be a real bother to to have a finger plugged into a USB port every time you need to use it.

After seeing this, it occurred to me that if the technology ever became available wherein I could have 16GB of flash memory surgically inserted into my arm, I would totally do it without a second thought. Not into my finger, though.

It's a bit of a cop out. It's actually just a rubber prosthetic with a USB key embedded in it. The rubber comes off, it's not actually attached to the finger.

You could quite easily make one yourself, but your story probably wouldn't end up on the BBC.

That was a cool idea at the time maybe, but it actually looks weird... I have a flash drive (WIA competition FTW ) where I can run a mobile Linux off of.

funny, we humans want 16GB memory in our skin, when we have an unlimited storage upstairs. although i do see the problem - cant get a few ISOs into your head very well.
