[microsound] Public USB-Sticks

[Tobias Reber]

On a related street art note, I've recently read an article about USB  
sticks installed in public, a project by an artist that's apparently  
spreading quickly...
Can't remember where I originally read about it, but this article here  
covers it as well:
