USB flash drives shouldn’t always be cute and cuddly… without the dark, there would be no light, and vice-versa… this evil 2GB flash drive includes an oh-so-evil price tag of forty bucks. A less evil flash drive would give you 16GB for that price. This one must be really greedy, keeping all the excess storage for itself.
Below, you can see the evil robot in action, scaring away the smaller, less evil flash drives:
I’m pretty sure he plans to give them all a colon cleansing that they’ll never forget. Because they probably won’t remember it in the first place, being dead and all that.
Everyone knows that the bad guys never win in the end… and it’s customary among my people to display a dead, bloody USB flash drive whenever possible. It’s customary. Prepare yourself to witness the most epic photoshopping skills of our generation!
It kind of looks like he lost a fight with a green squid, but I thought that the motherboard-guts were a nice touch.

I just found out that you can mount a gmail account as a virtual hard drive and store your data on it. That will get you 7 GB of storage. That’s fine and dandy if your data has just run a marathon while on fat burners , but let’s face it- 7 gigs isn’t a whole lot of data these days, so why would I bother posting about this if even I admit that it isn’t all that awesome? Because you can mount 999 of these accounts, netting you 7 Terabytes of storage for free. Now that is monumental. Thanks Google!

What we have here is a really cool hard drive. It even comes with a lesson in Korean codespeak. Let me explain further- this product is called the Mint Hard. The company that makes it is called Mint- that part is straightforward. The reason they call it “hard” is another story- you see, in Korea, the word hard is the same word they use to refer to ice cream bars and hard drives, so the ice cream bar shaped hard drive makes perfect sense in their language.
Also, did you notice that USB Drive handle? They mention that it isn’t meant to be used as a handle… so those of you who want to treat your USB drives like industrial handles may want to think twice… or glue it in place (please don’t glue it in place). The hard drive automatically transfers any data from an inserted USB flash drive. I’m pretty sure you don’t have to use their USB handle exclusively.
Did you know that electronics made in Korea have a Seoul? Wow, what a bad pun. I do apologize. On the other hand, I stand firmly behind the following photshoped image:
Yeeh, I just went there. What can I say, it’s what I do.
