30 Dec 08 USB Eraser Could Eventually Erase Itself

Now I know I have a sick passion for USB memory drives but I am controlling it as much as I can. I am not buying every USB stick out there but I do show the weirdest ones to you. Here’s the last USB stick I will present to you this year. It’s the USB Eraser which will do exactly what it suggests. It’s a stick that can erase your writing mistakes. While the idea is totally cool and I’d play around with one, a problem emerges. Will the eraser eventually erase itself? What happens when the rubber is gone? I’ll just have a dumb USB stick which also looks crappy.
