- I've tried to use one of these cigarette lighter jumpers before, and it sucked. The lighter has relatively thin wires going to it, and as a result, you can push much less current to the battery...

This has to be the dumbest thing ever posted on a geek blog.

As long as I can reconfigure the address it goes to, this would make an excellent boss key.

Doesn't do much good if my boss walks in and I switch from porno to Microsoft's job listings page though...

Could this be from the same manufacturer as this "ecobutton"? http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/01/30/ecobutton-pro... I mean, once you register the design patents for USB buttons, you may as well try and get the most out of them. People must find at least ONE of these ideas useful...

USB drives as a transport medium for promotional material, sure. But letting an external device control your machine at the push of a button? Removable devices are becoming a fast growing attack vector for spy- and malware, especially in the business area, because everybody's so careless about autorun. Any business where a device like this is expected to work has a seriously flawed computer security plan.

So I don't understand why any self-respecting advertiser would distribute USB devices that rely on autorun features.

Unless you WANT to single out people with low-grade security. Because this usually also means they'll be gullible enough, er, I mean, valuable enough as a new customer. Hum.
