This USB stick's memory isn't measured in bytes, its measured in pints. Unfortunately its the product of some promotions company (CNK) so you're unlikely to get your hands on one, unless your willing to buy 200 of them (I'll take one off your hands!). But never the less, its still brilliant and I wanted to pay homage to it...

Sure it's a lot of personal information, but if you can't trust the Government, who can you trust? After all, the Government is only here to look after us and protect us. And where else could your information be more safe?

Take the Ministry of Defence, for example. They tell us it is just a fluke that 658 laptops were stolen between 2004 and 2007. That's in addition to the 89 that have just been lost. But hey, they have recovered 32 of these. Up until a few weeks ago, the MoD only acknowledged that 347 laptops had been stolen. Seems there were "anomalies in the reporting process" that kept ministers from knowing that another 311 had been taken. A significant number of these laptops contained, as you might suspect, secret information vital to national security.

But the MoD doesn't just keep information on the hard drives of its laptops. No, this the era of the USB memory stick. They have had 131 of these lost or stolen, but just like the laptops, they can't even say when or where. They do know that some of the sticks also had classified information on them.

Yet in the midst of admitting all of this - and given that the British government never likes to admit anything, just think of what breaches of security and carelessness with data lie unknown that this point - they dismiss out of hand any attempt by opposition parties to hold them accountable and insist they must have more and more data about every single person.  It beggars belief.

There has never been a government in this country - at least in modern times - to have such complete disregard for the people they govern.

Domišljatosti proizvodjača USB memorija nema kraja, a najnoviji primerak koji to dokazuje, pripada kategoriji čudnih USB memorija i nosi ime Spinacz.

Memorija je smeštena unutar drvenog kućišta, koje je u obliku štipaljke, i potpuno je funkcionalno u toj nameni. Naravno, štipaljku nije preporučeno stavljati u kontakt s vodom, ali kako kaže proizvođač, može poslužiti kao ''zabavna dekoracija na odeći, za muškarce i žene''.

Kapacitet I cena nisu objavljeni, ali onima kojima se ovakvo nešto dopada to najverojatnije niti neće biti u prvom planu.

I tried to install ubuntu desktop on a USB stick, but when I was preparing the USB stick after a guide on internet that I found. It worked fine until the commando

sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n ubuntu /dev/sdX1
sudo mkfs.ext2 -b 4096 -L casper-rw /dev/sdX2

decided not to exist. I got the message

sudo: mkfs.vfat: command not found

I was formatting my memory in BackTrack (another LiveCD Linux version) when I got this message, and now I don't know what to do :(

Dentro de esta tendencia de practicidad, llega un memory stick con el look retro de una pinza para colgar ropa.. No sé, encuentro lógica la idea, pero no termina de convencerme, quizás sobre la practica (cosa que nunca sucederá). Curiosamente, mi pequeña hermana la encontró fascinante , y deben saber que es una persona que es difícil de complacer..

Lo único que definitivamente no tiene perdón es el nombre. Desconozco si en Polaco tiene algún significado diferente de las ridículas verduras de Popeye, pero mientras lo investigo declaro mi inconformidad con el. De cualquier manera queda bastante bien ilustrado el hecho de que utilizado por la persona adecuada puede llegar a ser un gadget sexy..

Maybe you remember the homemade retro car USB memory sticks from a couple of months ago. Here's a fun and cute alternative to those muscle cars

Som du kunne læse i indlægget “Pennen er mægtigere end sværdet“, så er der efterhånden ingen grænser for, hvad man propper i en en USB-memorystick - i hvert fald ikke hos firmaet Brando, som specialiserer sig i alle mulige former for USB-enheder.

Og det er ikke så lidt, som Brando har fået plads til i deres nyeste USB-kuglepen: Du får kuglepen (naturligvis :o), 1 GB USB-memorystick, MP3-afspiller, diktafon samt FM-radio. Så må man sige, at pennen er blevet endnu mægtigere end sværdet - omvendt er det selvfølgelig nemmere at skære i noget med et skarpt sværd fremfor en “sløv” kuglepen :o)

Brando “superkuglepen” koster 68 dollars eller ca. 400 kroner eksklusive fragt og told. Klik her for at læse The Gadgeteer’s test af produktet.

Dermed kan du nu få et sikkert sted at gemme de af dine personlige data og oplysninger, som hidrører “The Dark Side of The Force” :o)

Så hvis du hører til den helt hårde kerne af fans, som bare må eje alt, hvad der har med Star Wars at gøre, må du hellere se at få forudbestilt et eksemplar af Darth Vader USB-memorysticken med det samme. Den kommer nemlig kun i stærkt begrænset antal og “du vil vel gerne være med i hulen, ikk’ Mulle” :o)

Et gammelt ordsprog siger, at pennen er mægtigere end sværdet. Det ved jeg nu ikke, om det ligefrem er sandt (det er det i hvert fald ikke i Mellemøsten for tiden), men faktum er i hvert fald, at du nu kan få en kombineret kuglepen, USB-memorystick og laserpointer i ét.

Firmaet Brando, som har specialiseret sig i salg af USB-enheder i alverdens størrelser og typer, har udviklet dette 3-i-en USB-produkt, som gør, at du både kan skrive, gemme i tusindvis af oplysninger og “pege” på, hvad du måtte have lyst til. Brando 512 MB USB Flash Drive Laser Pen koster 27 dollars eller ca. 160 kroner eksklusive fragt og told.

Normalvis forbinder man ikke en guitar med det, at have hukommelse, men nu kan du rent faktisk få en guitar, som kan “huske”. Det skal forstås på den måde, at du for 55 euro (ca. 410 kroner eksklusive moms, levering og eventuel told) kan købe en Mini Guitar USB Memory, som er udformet som - ja, du gætter rigtig - en mini kopi af en guitar.

Du skal dog ikke købe memorysticken i håbet om, at du også kan bruge den til at spille guitar på, for det kan den desværre ikke. Omvendt er der vel også grænser for, hvor meget guitar man kan håbe på at få for ca. 410 kroner :o) Til gengæld har memorysticken kapacitet til at indeholde flere tusinde sider med guitarnoder eller, hvad du nu måtte ønske at bruge de 256 MB kapacitet til.
