USBee?

How many times have you broken a USB flash drive? I’m pretty hard on mine, and I can think of three different drives that I’ve broken. Two of them had the USB connector broken off due to me just being clumsy while the third’s outer casing just kind of fell apart. This is why I usually take interest in any such drives that claim to be resistant to breakage such as this USBee (get it?) concept drive.

This bee-themed concept drive utilizes a combination of a silicon and aluminum shell which allows for a bendable neck. The ability to bend at the neck will help to prevent both the drive and the USB port from getting broken. The black stripes are actually a cleverly-disguised cooling system to keep it from getting too warm. This is currently only a concept, so who knows if we’ll ever see it in production.

Turn you Laptop into a Tablet w/ Touchscreen

Ok no fucking way! This is too cool. As the entire Yamagoo crew uses Laptop computers, when I got this in the Greader, by way of the Gizmodo, I was stunned into covetous silence. It's the Laptop Tablet and it converts your lappies LCD into a touchscreen by way of USB. You can use the pen that is included in with the unit, or your finger, or anything else that can touch the screen for that matter. I can imagine that this would be cool for many of the DJ programs that we all use. Particularly Virtual DJ, with a nice big button skin.

The unit is from a company called NAVIsis and has some really reasonable requirements, which means that I could attach it to one of my older lappies and it would work just fine. In theory it ought to work with ANY LCD. According to the Gizmodo post it costs $130. Not bad at all!

Humping dog made useful

You have undoubtedly seen this Humping dog flash toy.(..if not look here, and here.)
The gang over at Everything USB are reporting a successful hack to this totally useless, though sort of funny, piece of crap. (Why would anyone give up valuable USB real estate to this? How much time can you spend watching a plastic dog have buttsecks with your Dell dude?)

Anyway the hack adds an external flash drive to the dog and now he only humps during a data transfer. BRILLIANT! This thing is totally useful now. No more looking for that blinky light. If the flash drive is a rockin', don't go unplugin'! I want one yesterday. Better yet someone get me one that looks like a DJ scratching while the data transfer is happening THAT would be Freakin Sweet!
