Sounds good. Apart from the fact that it's not covert and you'd be arrested.

This guy is right, I mean, why get a tiny little penis like usb when you can just go ahead and fuck the whole office up with nothing but YOUR BARE FUCKING HANDS!?! USBs are for pussies anyways. Case Closed.

This is exactly why your USB turned on you.

I never said anything about bare hands, but okay.

No, that's exactly why I turned on it!
For people wondering; I had this baby little 32gb usb that I used to sleep with, yes mates, believe me, and one day my baby usb stopped working and I've been heart broken since, been going out with mouses and keyboards, using depressing hashtags on twitter and listening to Bruno Mars, I'M DONE WITH USBS, THEY'RE ALL THE SAME!!!

Not very incognito, mind you.

Is this "killer USB-drive" actually a real-working thing, or a hoax? I doubt that it's real, but I cannot prove it.

I consider ars and pcworld at least sorta reputable

From the Ars article
"It's not clear from Dark Purple's blog post precisely how far the damage from the updated device extends. Presumably the USB port is fried, and it wouldn't be surprising if circuits on the motherboard were damaged, too. The hard drive and CPU, on the other hand, have a better chance of surviving, although that's not clear from the demo, either. In any event, the video is one more reason to be wary of USB devices, especially those that come from unknown sources."

But the thing is that I don't believe it works, yes it might fuck things up, but they never showed any proof that anything is burned or crashed or anything, just a laptop that stopped turning on which can be caused my multiple reasons, lets not forget that today's laptops aren't as fucked as they say they are, there's a lot of shit that protects your computer from these kind of attacks, anyone who knows a bit about electricity in general would know that there's "no way" this kind of attacks can actually do what they said it would.
This. People claim it will explode or catch fire, when manufacturers try to prevent it from happening entirely.
