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.

These PICO mini flash drives are cute, functional, colorful and priced right. They’re also waterproof! Besides being tiny, they are color coded to indicate storage capacity:
What makes these most appealing would be the relatively tiny size of just 32mm x 15mm x 3mm and weighing a mere 1.5 grams. Different colors denote varying capacities, where the pink 2GB, green 4GB, blue 8GB and black 16GB will be going for $9.99, $14.99, $23.99 and $39.99, respectively.
Since flash media has become so inexpensive, I’ve been thinking of installing Windows onto a flash drive and seeing just how functional that will turn out… TinyXP [wikipedia] looks like the ideal OS for this.

The Trekkies out there should love this. It’s a Star Trek Pez Dispenser that has been modded to hold a 2GB flash drive. The price isn’t too terribly gouge-tastic at $25, though you can pick up a 4GB SD card for about $14 these days…
I swear, you can sell anything on Etsy.. or at least you can try… even plus size babydolls lingerie could fetch a hefty fee if you sewed on a Mario or Zelda.. which gives me an idea: “sorry, but our princess is the size of a castle..”. I blame it on the mushrooms. You know how they effect Super Mario.. now imagine if that’s all you ever ate…. it would be like attack of the 50 ft woman all over again!

Here we have a robot that transforms from some sort of wild jungle kitty into a USB flash drive. I bet you’re absolutely sick of all the transforming gadgets at this point… Just remember, it could be worse… I could have gone on a three day long horse supplies blogging bender. Neigh!
Good thing it’s robots, which are totally awesome, even if they may someday take over the world.
Too bad this particular robot is ridiculously overpriced… at $51 for a 2 gig flash drive, it’s trying to take over your wallet if anything.

It looks like Blu-Ray may have a short lived stay at the top of the optical storage pyramid. GE has created a disc that can hold as much data as 100 DVDs or 20 Blu-Ray discs.
So how do they do it? I don’t really know for sure, but they’re using holograms to create this disc that stores 500GB of data.
It has taken six years for GE to come up with this product. Just don’t expect to see it on shelves really soon.
