Every Beatles Song on an Apple-Shaped USB Drive
Only 30,000 of these limited-edition Beatles USB drives will be made, and are expected to be released in North America on Dec. 8. For $280, the 16GB drive contains the entire Beatles catalog, plus extras like videos, album art, and photos.
Boardy Paper USB Stick: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Admittedly, I have a ton of USB sticks and funky flash drives hanging around my desk, but I have never seen one made out of paper. Until I found one while surfing online, that is.
But the Boardy USB Stick isn't your usual run-of-the-mill flash drive — it's made out of recycled paper and electronic parts to make an eco-friendly product you can use in any format.
Steampunk 4GB Flash Drive: Love It or Leave It?
I was totally up on the steampunk craze, and although I would never be able to afford this $3,000 (yes, that's three zeros) 4GB Steampunk Flash Drive, I can appreciate its workmanship. Hand crafted with love by Etsy user WillRockwell, the drive is listed at such a high price because Will says that's what it would take to "pry the drive out of my hands and take it from my world into yours." I totally understand the sentiment, Will.
How Many Flash Drives Do You Own?
I'm all "keyed up" over this keyring flash drive. Get it? Keyed?
3 Ways to Back Up Your Data
Computer crashes are probably the most devastating event of a person's technological life. Not to mention one of the most expensive. So how many times do I gotta tell ya?
Dive Dive! With the Waterproof Flash Drive
I'm dying to know the applied uses of a Waterproof Flash Drive. Not to imply that these aren't useful — for those who needed them, they'd be just that. I'm just ultra-curious about the kind of tasks these memory sticks would be used for.
Porcelain Flash Drive For Your Precious, Precious Memories
Luxury flash drives don't have to be all pink, bedazzled Juicy Couture madness; take for instance, this Porcelain Flash Drive.
Its $125 determines its luxury status; the handcrafted process and glazed porcelain stops me from calling it crazy. Unquestionably, it's too expensive for the one GB it provides, but like I said, it just has to be viewed in a different category of flash drives — this isn't just a utility, it's an indication that tech products, be they as prosaic as a memory stick, are worthy of good design.
Crystal Rose USB Necklace: Love It or Leave It?
I guess the new thing in appealing to lady geeks is wearable gadgets, like last week's Pendant/Bluetooth Earpiece.
Brando's newest gadget/jewelry hybrid is this Jewel Rose Necklace Flash Drive — a decent-looking necklace, if you ask me (though hardly subtle). The flash drive has 8GB of storage for $37, and is certainly not going to get lost if it's around your neck, like Brando's other flash drive jewelry, the Jeweled USB Bracelet (I guess your wish wasn't so crazy, Katy Perry).
I'd Heart a Heart-Shaped Flash Drive
Don't worry, with Valentine's Day coming (and going) tomorrow, my obsession with pink-and-red heart-and-flower all-out girliness will soon come to an end.
But it's not tomorrow yet, so I'm feeling free to gush about how frigging adorable these Heart-Shaped Flash Drives are.
It's about $38 bucks for a paltry 2GB and you'd have to pay for some outrageous shipping from Japan, but all I see is the pretty, pretty heart.
Grind It! Skateboard Shaped Flash Drive
Skateboarding geeks unite; first you could bring the geek to your deck, now go the opposite route and put the memory in a deck with a 2GB SkateDrive ($22).
It combines the desktop convenience of a finger board with the memory of a thumb drive — your hands will be happy and your hobbies combined.
