Create a portable Mac OS X install on a USB flash drive
No, we don’t mean portable as in a laptop, but portable as in a USB flash drive. Here are two interesting articles on how to have a fully functional portable Mac OS X installation, one that gained a lot of attention several months ago, and one that has recently topped the Digg charts. Both will direct you step by step on how to get Mac OS X booting live from a USB pendrive. Supposedly, using the same procedure, you can even boot Mac OS X from an iPod! For best performance be sure to use the significantly faster USB 2.0.

I guess this is cool but it seems completely pointless

This could be really useful for System Administrators for trouble shooting, being able to boot up from a known working OS install, etc
