Slightly off-topic. Riding the metro one day, I saw a picture in an ad of a guy holding a 5-sided chip in his hand; about the size of a CF card, maybe a bit larger. I couldn't read the ad's text right away, and I thought it might be computer-related. Once I was close enough to read it, it wasn't. It was bio-tech, something about the chip being used in some kind of testing or something.
But, in between the time when I couldn't read the text and finally could, it gave me the idea of how cool it would be if you could carry around your OS and apps on a chip, maybe data too. Imagine being able to walk up to any computer with the right slot and just plug in *your* computer. Work on it, pop it out when you're done and nothing left behind except the hardware to run it. I can't be the first to think of this. Anyone know of research going on in this regard? > -----Original Message----- > I understand why you might not need/want U3, but just for the record, > U3 isn't crappy > stuff at all.
