I would have thought it would... they call it Electro-Magnetism for a reason, right? Magnetic fields alter electronic pathways.


On another note, right now, it's just some steam punk pile of poop... they would have won some serious award if they made the USB drive round or square and made it into a real chronometer. Watch, for those that don't know what that means. Heck, I wouldn't mind a pocket watch that had a USB drive in it. ]]>Jun 9th 2009 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/
Of course, technically this would be a bit silly since (a) 16 bytes is not much use to anyone, (b) it would have to somehow simulate the rest of the filesystem since filesystems don't fit in 16 bytes, (c) the electronics on this thing would obviously be doing a lot more real work than the gears would.

But it would still be pretty neat. :) And, actually, might have an educational purpose - just to show how incredible it is that electronics can store so much data in such a tiny space.]]>Jun 9th 2009 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/Jun 8th 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/Jun 8th 2009 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/Jun 8th 2009 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/Jun 9th 2009 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/]]>Jun 9th 2009 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/I might actually buy one, it's depressing that I'm even considering it, but GEARS!]]>Jun 9th 2009 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/

In September of 1965, a new television show hit the air on Friday nights on CBS, and in the process confused those who attempted easy categorization. Was it a Western? Was it a spy thriller? Perhaps it was a SciFi fantasy show...]]>Jun 9th 2009 12:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/Jun 9th 2009 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/Jun 9th 2009 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/mechanical-memory-key-stores-your-data-with-the-precision-of-an/
