Default Slurp Digital Eyedropper, Fake, But Neat Idea

http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/...tion-wirelessl/

"How does Jamie Zigelbaum, a former student at MIT Media Lab, celebrate freedom from tyranny, drool-worthy accents and "standing in the queue?" By creating Slurp, of course. In what's easily one of the most jaw-dropping demonstrations of the year, this here digital eyedropper is a fanciful new concept that could certainly grow some legs if implemented properly in the market place."

This has already been declared a fake due the the rickroll music at the end, so why am I posting this article? Well perhaps it's just me, but I actually like the idea behind it.  The ability to have a wireless usb stick that you simply point at the PC you want to transfer files to without having to plug it in, wait for it to initialise etc, etc.  Yes, you might argue that you could just as easily transfer files across the network, but for devices that are not on the network, this could work well. Take a look at the video and see what you think.
