People seem determined to stick a USB plug on just about everything, so why not stick a 2GB memory chip in the handle of a comb and make it a thumb drive? It helps you look good and saves your precious data at the same time. We shouldn’t be asking “why”, we should be asking, “why not?”

Super Mario Bros. 3 Cartridge Becomes 160GB HDD
I’ve got to say, this leaves me with mixed emotions. I still have an old NES sitting away somewhere, and it would be very hard for me to rip the guts out of the cartridges that I loved so well and stick HDD parts in them; but let’s face facts, old games can be emulated and putting a cartridge to other uses is a great reminder of times gone past.

Overpriced Steampunk Memory Stick Ain’t Going Anywhere
This memory stick does look a dream in brass and copper, but the price will be enough to sour anyone’s impression.
According to the maker:
I respect the art too much to undervalue it and besides, this is the only one of these in the world.

Resident Evil 5 Special Edition Shipping With a USB Chainsaw
If this were an actual chainsaw that one could plug into a computer when the zombies come a-knocking it would be really cool, unfortunately it isn’t, it is just a memory stick, albeit a highly desirable one.You will be hard pressed to find a nastier looking USB drive. For now, it is shipping with the Asian special edition of Resident Evil 5, but Technabob reports that there are other options, just head up to eBay.

Samsung’s Syncmaster U70 a 7″ USB Companion Monitor
Samsung is set to release a tiny seven=inch companion monitor named the U70. The display is designed to be a secondary display, and is connected via USB rather than using a display port. As you can probably imagine, with the USB connection come a few compromises, resolution is a puny 800 x 480 and the display time is a whopping 30ms, but that doesn’t really matter if you just want a small screen for a few widgets or to keep your desktop open on.
There are plenty of reasons to get a second monitor: it helps you get work done faster, it allows you to keep your desktop open on one screen while you work on another, it allows you to compare two versions of the same document, I could go on but I won’t. On the other hand, there are some inconveniences: a second monitor will burn more electricity and it will take up more space. The Samsung U70 seems aimed at the people for whom the inconveniences outweigh the benefits. Me, I will stick to my twin 20s, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like this idea.
