Hey guys do you like to know about cool gadgets? i saw couple of them on site www.fingergear.com . just have a look at them.One of the products is called "Computer-On-a-Stick", which I just got today.It has its own operating system and everything! I thought someone might want to provide feedback on what they think.

yeah, but I don't see why you would pay for that. YOu can just use DamnSmall Linux and any flash drive. IF you REALLY wanted a computer-on-a-stick, you would buy blackdog (http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000370054010/).

That lil device reminded me of a question I had a while back. I know someone who claimed they were getting a fingerprint scanner to turn on their pc. They never got it but I was wondering if anyone here knew where I could get one. It sounded like the coolest thing :D

@sXenoG - Look for a Biometric Scanner, there's many out there, and although they're pretty standard as far as function, there's a growing list of applications that can be used with them.

Here's a guide on how to make your own Windows XP on a Stick. Just might save your butt when you loose your OS next (it's windows you know it's going down it's just when!)

I think this was on the front page here @ TBCS a month or so back.
