Hasta La Ideas

Japanese Thanko’s have become famous (and perhaps infamous) for all their weird and wonderful gadgets. There seems to be no end to what they can come up with. Here’s the result of one of their latest brainstorms; the USB combination lock. The lock can obviously be used on any USB connector, be it memory sticks, peripherals and what have you.
