CyberKey Solutions fka CKYS

[Divine Madcat]

You are right - ST is not the only maker. In this case though, they are the maker of CKYS keys. Not only do they match, but they match exactly (both in looks AND advertised specs).

But really, i can agree that it doesn't matter much who makes them. What matters, is what else is offered. However, we as investors have not been presented with much.

We have seen the ads for the my fan keys, and other actual solutions - but none ever came to fruition. The only other solution that CKYS offers as a unique product (since you can et personalized keys from anyone, and probably for cheaper), is the security.

I won't comment much, since it is true that i do not have a key in hand. But, from what others have said, the keys they received seemed to have lacked the software that was supposed to set the key apart. If this is true, then it means that the CKYS keys would have no value added over other cheaper alternatives.

Finally - booting OS'es from keys is nothing special. Really, people have been doing it for years, with both linux and XP:

I would also argue over the usefulness of such a setup in a business environment. Aside from the performance (which can be quite bad), there is very little cost benefit; most offices have regular computers anyway, all of which capable of running XP.

A related idea, is of bringing personalized things like your browser (and thus cookies, bookmarks, etc) with you; problem is, is that has already been done before as well.
