One megabit EPROM cufflinks for the jetset nerd

Sure, we mostly kick gaming-themed cufflinks when we hit the town in our finest French cuffs, but we're definitely looking into getting a set of these hot one megabit EPROM links to spice things up a bit. Made by Flickr user JMarler as a birthday present for a friend, they're certainly unique -- but come on, we demand at least 1GB of wrist-based storage in this day and age.

Oh Lord....

...won't you buy me an EPROM cufflink?

[kornation @ Aug 31st 2008 10:25AM]

Except these and similar products have been available at ThinkGeek.com for oh... 2-3 years? They were dropped from its line-up a while ago, along with the CAT5 bracelets, IDE Belts and other geek apperal made out of computer parts (apart from a small circuit board necklace)

That's stretching the term 'news'.

I can see an application - I'm sure James Bond will find it handy.
Oh wait that doesn't exist.

Maybe if it was at least a couple gigabytes.

...And his friend never spoke to him again.

MacGyver would find this useful
he would add some paper clips with glass and make a rocket

Since most people comment without reading the post.

"but come one, we demand at least 1GB of wrist-based storage in this day and age."

hope this helps.

[Dav @ Aug 31st 2008 8:35AM]

Seriously, come ONE, noONE seems to be reading even just ONE post. I ONEder why.

[JR @ Aug 31st 2008 10:25AM]

Or maybe most people did notice, but they were to busy capitalizing their sentences to point out the obvious like an annoying prick.
Hope this helps.

I sure hope the terrorists don't find out about this...

[tha-don @ Aug 31st 2008 6:36AM]

if anyone wears these in public...then the terrorists have already won.

[Picviewer @ Aug 31st 2008 6:55AM]

This makes a magazine? Seriously? I've been sporting a Voodoo1 chip as a keychain for years now. Guess for some people it's hard to figure out then.

Engadget is a blog. You can post pretty much anything and most people won't care.

[rita hainsworth @ Aug 31st 2008 7:48AM]

I'm wearing a Mac Mini around my neck right now..pumping out my tunes...

[wickedpheonix @ Aug 31st 2008 1:24PM]

It's probably real simple to do, but a how-to guide would be nice if they couldn't just sell them off of Thinkgeek or something :)

[Franksmith @ Aug 31st 2008 2:36PM]

Does anyone actually know a real geek that has ever worn cuff links???

[patrickdsmith @ Aug 31st 2008 8:31PM]

I really can't imagine why anyone would need more than 640kb cufflinks.

[linuxamp @ Sep 1st 2008 12:37AM]

Homeland Security will probably detain you at the border while they try to read whatever data might be on these things.

[Eric @ Sep 2nd 2008 12:41PM]

ugh

[william @ Oct 19th 2008 1:56AM]

you could hide some small zip files or a few jpegs probably on there assuming there real (and unburnt, eg blank) PROMs and could plug them in or solder wires to them somehow
128Kibibytes per cufflink!!!
at least a 8Gbit (1GB) TSOP flash IC lol
