This ended USB Drive Concept is out of a High School Nightmare [concept]
Even if this lockable USB drive concept is turned into a real product, I won’t be buying it. I barely mastered my locker’s combination lock by the time I graduated high school, why would I want to repeat that nightmare?
Named after Mr. Gates, Bill’s USB is a clever concept and wonderful for security nuts who don’t have an irrational fear of combination locks. Twist-spin-turn-click and you can access your data. Or you can start hitting your head against your desk because you forgot if it’s left-right-left or right-left-right. [Yanko Design]

Wouldn’t somebody who wanted your info bad enough to steal your usb drive, just pry open the case and remove the board and tip?

Holy crap, I (still) remember my junior year locker combination!
… Too bad they change it every year.

I thought the nightmare was that it resembles a pregnancy test

If this was a Steve’s USB then this would be marvelous, stupendous, innovative; but alas it’s a Bill’s USB so meh.

@Complexified: Cause I can cut off your finger or knock you unconscious!

@Complexified: THAT would make to much sense, and maybe the designer was thinking about how wonderful his highschool years were and wanted to relive them.

I use to leave the sticker with my combo on the back of my lock, I could never remember the numbers.

When I read “high school nightmare” and saw the picture of the line on the tab, I thought you were talking about a pregnancy test… I had a pee joke and everything

@Complexified: Because some of us sanded off our fingerprints to stay off the grid?

High school we jacked the janitor’s locker key and would reset locker combos it was very funny. But this is not funny this is dum.
G.O.D.
@Nitesh Singh: I know such a product already exist. I’m talking about this particular product designer
Complexified
@Complexified: Someone already did.

This might be a stupid question but why not put a fingerprint lock on the USB stick instead of this turn-to-unlock doohickey?
