A man (Florin Necula) reportedly swallowed a Kingston USB Flash Drive while in Secret Service custody. Florin was brought in for allegedly placing card readers over ATM slots to “skim” magnetic strip information off cards inserted in those machines. After four days of not passing the drive Necula gave in to doctor removal.
Reportedly, Necula has been charged with four felonies including obstruction of justice and is being held without bail.
I have put my flash drive (Lexar) through the washing machine a couple of times and it survived, but I would imagine the human stomach is a little tougher environment.

As most everyone knows Apple is set to make a big announcement next Wednesday, January 27th at 10:00 AM in the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco. Presumably, the event is going to be held for Apple to unveil a new tablet device yet to be determined by speculators.
Mashable has reported through a source (Northeast Securities analyst Ashok Kumar), that the new device will sport a Qualcomm processor and will be available through Apple at full price, which should be around $800 and Verizon at a subsidized price with a service plan.
According to Engadget not only a tablet could be big news, but a new iLife and iPhone OS 4 could make quite a splash. It would seem logical to show off some new tools and kick out a new iPhone OS.
According to Gizmodo an Apple insider claims the above Flickr image to be the closest rendering to the real thing to date.
Could we also see the presence of a Qualcomm powered iPhone slated for Verizon? We’ll find out next week and all the madness will be over.
According to Business Week Apple is considering making Bing the default search engine for the iPhone. The speculated change comes amidst an ever heating rivalry between Apple and Google. Now that Google is in the mobile smart-phone race with the Nexus One, Apple is said to be knocking on Microsoft’s door.
Bing would greatly benefit from being the iPhone’s default search engine in market share, but would Google suffer? Probably not too much. Maybe this is a win-win for every one.
Bing may just be a band-aid as there are rumors of a search engine from Apple. Techcrunch talked about it back in 2008. With Google CEO Eric Schmidt off Apple’s board, there is little stopping them from the venture.
