You know I like to keep you readers full of faux food attached to useful USB flash drives. In fact, there isn't a piece of USB sushi and eggs that I haven't wanted to get a close up look at. Word is, USB fashion makers have transferred their attention to more wheaty and meaty USB delights. That's right, Japanese food USBs are the leggings of this season - totally out. Vavolo has introduced me to Read more
Why should your feet get to have all the fun when it comes to dancing? USB Finger Dance mat offers all the DDR fun for your hands, and for an extra geeky flair, it can be plugged in to a USB port at your computer.

Nike put on quite a show in NYC today to introduce its new Nike+ Fuelband ($149).
