Question: How do you techie-fy formal attire?
Answer: Add Wi-Fi and USB storage drive cufflinks.
Brookstone, a chain of retail stores in the US that sells a range of products from remote controls to massagers, is now offering cufflinks that makes any techie feel like an international spy.
The polished silver, oval-shaped cufflinks feature a 2GB USB storage and a WiFi hotspot supporting multiple devices. Just download the accompanying software and connect the cufflink to a USB port into your computer or laptop and voila! High-speed WiFi hotspot for smartphones, tablets, and all other Wi-Fi enabled devices.
The Wi-Fi/USB storage cufflinks are priced at $249.99, which you can add either a 2-year service protection plan for $39.99 or a 3-year service protection plan for $49.99, which, if your cufflinks suddenly goes haywire, Brookstone will repair or replace them at no additional charge.
Time Techland stated the perfect scenario as to why the Wi-Fi cufflinks is a must, especially if you’re a single guy looking to hook up.
“Let’s say you’re at a wedding and the wireless router kicks the bucket. Just hook a laptop directly into the cable modem and then stick the Wi-Fi cufflink into one of the laptop’s USB ports. In no time at all, you’ve got yourself a new wireless hotspot that all the guests can use to surf the web on their Wi-Fi-enabled devices. This sounds like a boring wedding, but you just made it exponentially more interesting by being the guest with the Wi-Fi cufflinks, so there’s that. Be prepared for ladies gushing over you as they say, “How you’ve managed to stay single this long is beyond me.”
daveoli didn't even think that nerds actually own any shirts with French cuffs. :P
