Clever USB Thumb Drive Mod

Looks neat, but you have to make sure that nobody sees it and things it is really a junk piece of wire.

I can see it now. Guy gets home and wife says she found a broken USB cable in the den so she just went ahead and threw it out.
 
There's probably a good practical joke to run on someone really gullible w/a mod like that... It just ain't coming to me!

Haha yeah, that's the only thing I'd worry about.

Unique and funny mod. I'm tempted to try this out and make one.
 
Ingenious idea. If I didn't know it was a USB thumb drive it probably would have gone into the trash.
 
actually

i think he should go to the next step and re-make the USB cable...and 'give' the cable away (preferably, a close friend or relative).

i want to see what happens when his friend/relative plugs the cable in and finds...a usb drive when the device is supposed to be a webcam or sth :D

That could be the point--better that someone throw it out than steal it.

I like the way you think! And if it were only April Fools all over again! I see pRon coming in handy here somewhere....
 
That's it! Right there, that's the practical joke, replace someone's mini-USB cable that they normally use to download pictures off their digital camera with a thumbdrive-mod cable, and fill it with whatever best suits your needs... You could probably even name the drive something similar to what the digicam shows up as in Windows, heh. Probably wouldn't fool everybody but it'd be funny if it works...

Be careful someone doesn't throw it away!! Thats the big problem I see with this mod!

That said, this would be a cool joke to tell people its just an old USB wire cut off, but your leet skillz made it in to a wireless antenna that can receive files from a wireless NAS/ drive at your home X miles away.

Plug it in & say "ah yeah its recognizing my wireless drive at home. Yep, there's my files" :)

Thats a good one too. Put a bunch of Amatuer or Midget porn, etc.. :) and be like "OMG, what / where have you been taking pics.. "
