Apple has filed a patent that might be USB for a new and exciting product upcoming sometime soon. It’s a patent that the mac corporation can use for it’s USB devices. It’s a new technology where a USB portable hard drive can detect or a touch or a would-be touch before the user pulls out the the device from the computer to avoid file corruption. It might also be used for other things, perhaps a USB thermometer? Source.
Okay, so, we are a bit obsessed about the USB here. As you can tell by this, this, this and this. Oh, and this and this. We are crazy about any portable flash drive. But, this one, another gem from the east, is yet another inclusion to our collections that is especially yummy. It’s a spy camera in a lighter that takes pics and puts them on the drive and then all you have to do is plug it in and get the good stuff. Imagine, giving someone a lighter and then getting a glimpse of their whole days when you get it back. I want one! Of course, everything will be in keeping with consent.
How useful is that. It’s the size of a credit card.

I don’t know why I have such a fascination with USBs. The flexible limbs are a bunch of fun and this is the best way to remember to put the cap back on, does anyone have the original caps of their USB? Didn’t think so.
Connect it to your computer for extra safety, to unlock and lock.
It goes for $47 (KD 13) and it also illuminates and has a USB connection.
How kawaii is that?
Sony is releasing these vending machines that will have DVDs, CDs, USBs and pretty much everything that has been acronymized. This is set to hit the UK this winter and I wonder what kind of stuff they will stock. I feel like its all going to be like Snakes On Planes DVDs and Coldplay CDs. Anyway, its an exciting feature.
First it was the wooden one, then the lighter and now the eraser. The USB possibilities are endless.
I don’t smoke, but now I want to.
This USB/lighter is too nifty not to use.
I am waiting for them USB/Massager.
Everyone is trying to be eco-friendly. Everyone wants to be green.
I don’t know how being extra sleek and super portable will help.
But this gadget is so Muji, it’s not Muji.
So Scandinivian minimalist, it’s Chinese pragmatist.
So light (7 grams), it’s Flockhartian.
