Sony invents Hard Drive on a Stick
T. S. news, UK / 6 June
...Sony unveiled its latest wonder at Castle Beach, just outside of Miami.
"Not only can you transport your files on it", Sony marketing rep Hans Brittner told the crowd, "but on a good hot day, like we're having today ..".
Brittner then, after downloading his data from the stick to his laptop, took a couple of bites of the ice cold creamy chocolaty treat. "yummm".
"The Stick", he claimed, "can hold up to 800 megabytes of binary data, depending on the flavor chosen. Chocolate, we've discovered, can hold more data than Banana Ripple .. perhaps because of it's mocha-like molecular structure. We don't know."
Sony does know, however, that there is indeed a market for wild and zany gadgets, like the ones Sony dreams up.

Not content with asking for an arm and a leg from consumers and artists, the music industry now wants your fingerprints, too. The RIAA is hoping that a new breed of music player which requires biometric authentication will put an end to file sharing.
....This week Veritouch announced that it had demonstrated the device to the RIAA and MPAA.
"In practical terms, VeriTouch's breakthrough in anti-piracy technology means that no delivered content to a customer may be copied, shared or otherwise distributed because each file is uniquely locked by the customer's live fingerprint scan," claims the company.
