Evil Robot USB Drive

Posted: July 1st, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: data storage, decapitated, robot, robots, USB | No Comments »

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.

Crouching Corkscrew, Hidden Data

Everyone knows that feeling like a secret agent is part of being a computer user. Especially since I changed my windows startup sound to the theme from Mission Impossible. Not conspicuous at all.

Being a super-sly secret agent, I have data protection needs. And by data protection needs, I mean that I have to hide my collection of adult films from my wife. This little USB wine cork kinda does that… only it’s just 2 gigs of data.

Sadly, it isn’t a vessel for some rare loose diamonds that I snatched from the queen of China. Worse yet is the $50+ price tag for a 2GB storage unit. Maybe you could think of it as an investment- wines are supposed to get better with age, so why not USB drives?

I usually photoshop these things to make it look like they were slain violently. It’s become a long running tradition here at Pixel Shack, but the cork simply doesn’t lend itself to- Ah, what the heck! Here’s your decapitated USB drive:

“you expect me to talk?”
“no, I expect you to die!”

And die he did, for cork james bond wasn’t a very good spy. He was best known for sitting in one spot- not the best trait for an international man of mystery. I told you that this would not end well.

Oh How I Love USB Animals

My regular readers will probably know exactly what to expect from me when they see a USB thumb drive that looks like an animal on my website… the rest of you are in for a surprise. I was going to write this post about the latest breakthroughs in treatment for acne , but I simply couldn’t resist the USB tuxedo bear. At $17 for a 2GB drive, it isn’t the best deal around… you certainly won’t feel like you just stole a pic-a-nic basket, so you’d better really like bears if you’re buying this… or tuxedos.. or animals wearing tuxedos… or spending too much for flash drives. Hey, whatever floats your boat. Personally, I get my kicks by photoshopping blood into pictures of USB flash drives. Yeah, I’m probably the only one. Evidence is below:
