Prosthetic Finger Features Built-In USB Drive

by Donald Melanson on March 12, 2009 at 04:02 PM


Yanko Design is certainly home to many far-fetched, never-to-be-realized gadgets, but this so-called You-SB finger drive isn't one of them. In fact, it's already a bit behind the curve. Apparently, after losing a finger in a motorcycle accident last year, Jerry Jalava took advantage of the situation to get a 2GB USB drive installed in his new prosthetic finger, which he's happy to inform us stores the Billy Linux distribution and the movie 'Freddy Got Fingered.' The drive is even removable to allow for upgrades or different drives for different tasks. Can a pico-projector finger be far behind?
