So, what else is possible? A wireless trackpoint is all I can think of right now. Even that would not be that accurate, because it would be tough to integrate buttons. I mean yes, you can make one button which can be depressed with the help of, say, the thumb and the pinky. But then the depression of that button may cause undesired motion of the cursor. Any more ideas?

This is a great idea. Admit it, if you lost some random appendage you would cram some gadget into the void left behind. There is such a thing as a USB extension cord, so it’s not like he has to hold his “finger” directly at the usb slot. And as for phantom pain, how about using usb power to zap the remaining neurons while plugged in? Admittedly this would require some painful trial and error to figure out proper voltage and frequency…

Awesome. He should look into making a lighter next. The only thing that makes you look cooler than smoking is lighting your smokes with your ring finger.

Awesome, always look on the brightside of life.

@Fartface, you suffer from Phantom Pain? As in the Gundam comes down and taunts you or something (I know what it is but was the first thing to come to mind. Blame fatique.)

Its better than the USB powered apple surprise (a real apple that vibrates) It might be kinda silly, but not that bad. Reminds me of an NCIS I watched the other day, one of the cadavers had a nearly microscopic, heart shaped flash chip embedded in her eye, and it contained all the vital statistics of her targets (being an assassin and all), that was cool, but I wonder how they retrieved the data?

My uncle lost the last two flanges of his middle finger in a Skil saw accident (it was that, or lose the tips of his index finger and thumb, which seemed more important to the surgeon). The only fun he ever had with it was when he would jam the knuckle in his nose to make it look like he buried his finger all the way in there. :p

The point of this is….what, exactly?

1) Finger or no, having a thing like that stuck to the end of a digit will do nothing but get in the way.

2)Having a USB device on the end of a finger exposes the connector to moisture and everything else that hands come into contact with (easy does it, guys! I’m trying to keep this G-rated!)

3) When I use a jump drive, I insert it in the USB jack and then leave it there until I’m done. The described “solution” requires the guy to tie up one of his hands for the entire duration of use of his drive… unless he removes his finger and leaves the USB gizmo in the jack. If that’s the case, then how is this any better than having the drive on a key chain or a lanyard?

I really enjoy reading about the interesting things that people build, modify, and hack. This is not one of those interesting things.

Searching for files on that thing must be a breeze . . .
They’re already indexed!
