Parceling

Packaging in the computer industry. (Yes, the whole object is that stamp-sized thing in the middle.) (Even the size of a very small stamp.)

At least it will survive a forklift puncture.

Sadly, the larger package is needed to reduce shoplifting in retail locations.

The value of the object is much less than the cost of the packaging to our planet. Private profit, public costs: the bane of capitalism.

Russian doll syndrome: packaging the package's package, and then wrapping it before boxing it in a parfel, then you...

Correction: "parcel", of course.

What IS that incredibly valuable/fragile minuscule thingamajiggy, anyway? A USB grain of rice? A life-long tattoo for foetuses? A mosquito's leg cast? A faerie egg? A sample bottle of the world's most expensive perfume? The brain-implantable PlayStation 7? A politician's prosthesic conscience? The brain of a Taliban? A Domai model's workplace uniform? The income sheet of Lebanon's national budget? A british police inspector's sense of humour? Arnord Schwarzenegger's singing talent? MY FATHER's singing talent? (I didn't know you could see it without a microscope...) A Queen Ant's pregnancy test? Josie's Christmas present for not being naughty ALL year? Donald Rumsfeld's donation check for the War Veterans Fund? Donald Duck'a underwear? The complete printed archive of all my insightlful posts on your blog, hardcover edition? The latest Japanese super-computer? A Decepticon's heart? A housefly's kidney stone? The largest atom on Earth? Afghanistan's Constitution? The ethics code of Swiss banks? My cat's weekly allowance? Your new micro-miniature professional spy's camera? The missing little plastic cover for your cellphone's unused extension port? Brazil's latest model of thong monokini? G.W. Bush's ski mask? A box of condoms for canaries? A hunting call for field mice? A phone call for Mickey Mouse? A cyber-troll's fart? A habeas corpus? A minus habens? A coitus interruptus? A men brothers? A lee-alley oxenfree? A bracadabra? An aspirin for your increasing headache? A question mark?

So? What is it? Hunh? Hunh?

It's a USP to Bluetooth plug. Probably the most compact yet, which means it can reasonable be left sitting in a laptop even when it's packed away.
