Mimobot introduces three new Hello Kitty USB flash drives. As with all the Mimobot creations, these are fun and colorful USB flash drives with a very unique look. Forget about those rectangle sticks China cranks out month after month, get a Mimobot.
The USB Hello Kitty models are “Fun In Fields,” and “Apple,” and finally, “X.”
The default size for all the Hello Kitty USB drives are 2GB at $25. You can double the capacity to 4GB for just another $10 dollars. Or you can double the price [total cost $50] for the 8GB version.
If you aren’t down with the business model of Mimco and their Mimobots, then all their styles are limited edition, so if you are a Hello Kitty fanatic, you better act fast. Traditionally they only make 2,000 of each model.
Here is the landing page for the USB Hello Kitty product line.

Have you ever thrown your hands up in frustration because you simply want to use the Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse of a laptop to access a server or other standalone device? I have, but never know what product could help…now I do.
The Portable Laptop KVM Adapter from StarTech is specifically designed to turn your notebook into a portable KVM station. Simply connect the adapter between your standalone [or GUIless device] and notebook and you’re off and running.
I would think the biggest market for such a product are large data centers where they need to access any number of servers without a full KVM installation.
“Aside from a rack mount LCD console, which can be expensive, server administrators and technicians would typically have to use a server room ‘crash cart’, which is a cart comprised of a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Although a typical ‘crash cart’ is somewhat mobile, it lacks the portability of our Laptop KVM Adapter, which provides identical but more convenient controlâ€.
The NOTECONS01 USB 2.0 Laptop KVM Adapter offers immediate BIOS-level access to the connected computer from the laptop control point, as well as the ability to handle full configuration of the attached PC, server, or other headless machines such as ATMs, kiosks and VLTs.
Lets face it, USB sticks are an everyday tool for doing business. That’s why I was surprised to hear the ban on USB flash drives at the Pentagon back in November of 08. However, I can see the security concerns they would have with the power a USB stick can behold.
Today, we found out the ban will be lifted from the DoD in the coming months.
Robert Cary the CIO for the Navy states. “In the future, we expect that a government-owned and procured USB flash media that is uniquely and electronically identifiable for use in support of mission-essential functions on DoD networks will be permitted for use by authorized individuals,” Cary said in his blog. “The bottom line is, the days of using personally owned flash media or using flash media collected at conferences or trade shows are long gone. What we connect to our home PCs is very different from what is and will be allowed to occur on DON [Department of Navy] networks.”
This policy is more in line with what I’d expect from the military and devices like the Encryptakey I would think become a staple at locations like the Pentagon.
