put in a DNA microarray and lab on a chip technology. only positive dna hybridization will allow access to the usb meaning it doesn't open unless the dna matches.

then the thing turns green giving you 15 seconds to wash off your cheek cells or blood or sick bodily fluids i'm sure people will attempt to use, or maybe a hair from your head/arm

after that you can open it. the device will be water proof and other solvent proof (acetone and what not) so you can just rinse and go.

this will only be made available to the people in the highest echelon of security. because it will probably cost a crapload and the dna microarray will need to be made just for you

so basically yea a crappy idea :(
unless the tech becomes cheaper :)]]>Apr 28th 2009 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/Apr 28th 2009 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/

As for this - if it existed today I would be very interested. 2010 is "too far away" for me to care. This stems from a deep-rooted "WANT" and impatience instilled in me by tech blogs (Thanks Engadget!)

P.S. Monster cables suck

This whole thing just smacks of slick rendering and little substance. How on earth do these companies get patents when their only proof of actually making something is a poorly doodled drawing or obviously fake computer rendering?? It would be like somebody patenting the Dick Tracy watch back in the 1940's. They are patenting stuff they clearly have no way of making, just to stop others from ACTUALLY making the thing work in the future.

I'd like to patent a black box that makes unlimited energy and no pollution. My proof for the pattern will be a shoe box painted black. That way, should anybody actually solve our energy problems, I can SUE THEIR PANTS OFF! Yay for the corrupt patent system!]]>Apr 28th 2009 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/Apr 28th 2009 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/RTFA]]>Apr 28th 2009 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/Apr 28th 2009 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/Apr 29th 2009 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ennova-announces-usb-drive-with-oled-screen-fingerprint-scanne/Apr 29th 2009 1:19PM
