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.

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:

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.

Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Anyone? Today we uncover yet another decapitated USB flash drive. The people who come up with these products must be really twisted. Or perhaps they have an unhealthy obsession with decapitation. As if there’s such a thing as a healthy obsession with decapitation. What do you mean you think I’m the one with the decapitation problem. I’m perfectly normal. PERFECTLY NORMAL.

Since the manufacturers obviously forgot to include dripping blood with their USB memory sticks , I’ve gone ahead and photoshopped it in for you… It’s all shiny and blood 2.0 ish.

Oh yeah, that’s the stuff.

This is the “Cartoon Snoop Flash Drive”. That’s not a typo- it really is called the “Snoop” flash drive. The makers of this flash drive probably didn’t want to get sued. That’s probably why it’s pink and not white. Not to worry, I’ll use my mad photoshop skillz to take care of that little problem. I’m dreaming of a white Snoopy. With blood, lots of blood coming from the neck area.

Well, would you look at that- it seems he left us a message in his last moments. Maybe it’s a clue as to who his killer is, or maybe it’s a last goodbye to his loved ones… let’s see:

“tell woodstock he still owes me five bucks” Hey, five bucks is a lot of dough for a dog. Anyone want to hire a graphic designer with a twisted sense of humor?

Snoopy USB Flash Drive Is Pink [geek alerts]

These decapitated USB Thumbdrives are obviously the brainchild of a really twisted nerd. I mean, what kind of sick bastard would want to decapitate a cute little zoo animal and then stuff it’s corpse with 2Gb of data. This was probably done by the same sick person that brought us the decapitated koala USB card reader. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

By the way, does anyone need some photoshop work done? Pixel-shack writer is dreaming of a Ramen noodle christmas.
