IntelliPaper Is a Paper USB Drive

IntelliPaper Is a Paper USB Drive

I’ve seen some thin flash drives that use USB ports for power over the years. I think the thinnest of ever seen maybe the new intelliPaper flash drive that recently launched. These little flash drives put the USB connectors and the storage chips in a thin piece of paper.

I think it’s impressive that they can fit NAND flash storage and the USB contacts onto a normal piece of paper. This opens the door for people to be able to use the little flash drives as wedding invitations, event tickets, gift cards, and just about anything else you can think of.

The company behind intelliPaper is seeking to raise $300,000 to bring the product to market through Indiegogo. Through the funding program if you pledge at least $100 you get your own USB writer and a stack of 10 of the little paper flash drives ranging in capacity from 8 to 32 MB. Note, that capacity is in megabytes so these are small capacity devices.

Update Facebook with Fingerprints

Update Facebook with Fingerprints

Everyone’s fingerprints are unique which is why they are used so often in crime investigations. Another use for your fingerprints would be biometric payment systems, and a similar technology is now being used at a hotel so that it will update your Facebook profile automatically.

The company who owns the hotel wants to install touchscreens throughout the hotel, where users will be presented with a selection of actions that will appear on their Facebook profiles. Guests can access their account quickly simply by placing their finger on a biometric sensor. It’s good for the hotel and convenient for you.

After that, you can capture a photo, update your current location and talk about the hotel event that you are attending there and then. This system is expected to launch next year.
