Why are they calling it USB keys?!

Is that actually the correct term?

I suppose so...

Some call it a 'flash drive'. I say USB thingy.

Or a memory stick...

I've never heard of it being called a USB key though...

Oh! that's so low of them!

The guy that bought all the memory sticks is from a anti-virus company, who did up the article because many of the memory sticks contained malware and/or personal information..

So he's trying to promote that people need to secure their information on a memory stick.

He even made a comment in the article that the key thing is that 2/3 of the memory sticks have malwares on them and that people need to stop using these infected memory sticks, and then he got a comment from the journalist that said "The fact that it was a lost property auction and that two thirds of the USB keys contained malware is prominent in the article."

HILARIOUS!

All these people have their own agenda and the end result is a stupid article..
