Post the coolest USB device you can find.

These two just happen to be my favorite at the moment.

I just bought them. Waiting for their arrival. ^-^"

It can be either, you don't have to actually own them. Just post the ones that you like. I saw some pretty neat steampunk looking ones...except they cost 1,000 a piece. >_<"

appeals to the teddy bear sadist in us all. Guaranteed to scare kids and repulse sensitive adults, this portable drive gives the illusion that the bear has its head jammed into the computer’s USB port.

Agreed, but they'd be much better suited as Voltron devices instead of lame year 2000 Transformer characters.

Doug

Edit: Come to think about it, I believe that IS a Voltron Lion with an transformer sticker slapped on it. Even MORE lame.

LOL that one is just great. My sister loves teddy bears, I think she would probably have a panic attack if she saw that.


Wow just wow...what will they think of next?

Yeah I like them a lot too. ^-^" Plus the fact that I love transformers too. I remember watching it when I was around 5 years old. I had a sky blue t-shirt that glowed in the dark. I remember having the covers over my head as I just stare at it until I fell asleep. Ah the simpler days. >_<"

Sticking with the Transformers :

A dino which transforms into a laser mouse (working) and a robot that transforms into a laptop/4 port USB hub. Of course the ports work. Oh, and apparently you can put a real mini cassette tape in to him, but not sure if it will play back.

Those.. I'd like, a lot.

Here are some really weird USB drives

Strange cause I read the makers of it said it's small enough to fit in your ear.

Gives a new meaning to a thumbdrive.

This is a full size bowling ball fitted out to be a USB drive.

I'm a little surprised I'm the first to mention it. The Beatles Apple (more info), probably the best digital remastering to ever be done.

Oh I agree. Considering how bad the original recordings were. In terms both of a serious lack recording quality of recording and musical/songwrining talent. I've heard the remastered versions and they are almost listenable. And that's like a thousand percent improvement on the originals.
