Our Robo Ickie makes the head lines>>>> Programmer replaces missing finger with thumb drive
In other news today, a computer programmer who lost half his finger after his motorbike crashed into a deer has had the finger replaced with a USB drive. Ickie, from Flordia, says the two-gigabyte prosthetic finger is not permanently attached to his hand, allowing him to leave his finger in the computer slot and "pick it up after I'm ready". The silicon prosthetic looks like a normal finger, but can be peeled back at the tip to reveal the thumb drive.
