The last card reader gadget I reported on was the 52-in-1 card reader. At the time I figured this would support the most demanding needs of a flash memory junky. However, with the inclusion of SATA, Firewire and audio, USB Fever upped that number to 62.
For those trying not to spend your money twice on multiple card readers for all those devices the 62-in-1 will surely do the trick. As the most comprehensive card reader available, USB Fever didn’t stop there. Included is support for eSATA, 1934 Firewire and audio output for headphones along with audio input for microphones.

According to reports, Apple is close to announcing plans to make Fox and Disney movies available as online rentals via iTunes (US). Apple CEO Steve Jobs is likely saving the official announcement for his Macworld Expo keynote on Jan. 14.
Customers would pay a fee to download titles viewable on computers, iPods and presumably Apple TV devices that would expire after a short window of time. Netflix, Amazon.com and Blockbuster’s Movielink are competitors in this space.
Wal-Mart, however, has thrown in the towel. Wal-Mart.com quietly pulled the plug on its video download service late last month as Hewlett Packard decided to discontinue the back-office technology that powered it. The service, popular with studios because it offered variable pricing, struggled with compatibility issues. Wal-Mart downloads could not be burned to DVDs or watched on video iPods.

It’s not even New Year’s Day and we are moving things along with prep for Easter. Today I received info on a USB egg cluster from GiftWhole Electronics.
Using either USB power or wall power, it’s easy to get your cubical or front office up and running for Easter. The color LEDs, not the case, make the unique color set seen above. The bunch of 8 measure about 3 meters in length and from the looks of the picture make quite a rats nest with cabling.
For pricing and product details jump over to GiftWhole Elec.

I’ve got at least four different piles of CDs and DVDs around the house. I just can’t find a happy medium. I’ve tried the DVD case with matching DVD cover clipped out. I’ve tried the library with the discs still in the jewel case, but nothing satisfies my ideal organizational methods.
However, Skymall, that gadget company we are forced to fall in love with, has a possible solution. The USB CD Carousel is just what this doctor ordered. It holds 150 discs and through included software and USB cable you can database your entire collection, and select a given CD by simply entering keywords or title. Within seconds the correct CD or DVD is popped out ready for viewing.
What’s better, is the USB CD Carousel can also be used in standalone mode. You can also use the included software to manage multiple CD carousels…after all, who only has 150 discs these days?

EMI and Ringo Starr haven’t teamed up since 1974 (Goodnight Vienna) and oh have times changed. The latest release, Liverpool 8, which is a reflection of Ringo Starr’s personality:
Ringo has said that as time goes on there is more and more of his personality in his music, and the songs on Liverpool 8 feel personal. His candor, wit and soul are evident in the lyrics and the heartbeat of every song.
The Liverpool 8 USB album is more than just the 12 tracks – included is bonus material any die-hard fan would appreciate. If you can get your hands on one, you will find a personal message as an intro, obviously not persoanlized to YOU, interview commentary and

Lets bring you some USB Fever in the form of smallest USB charger, USB VGA adapter and iPhone power cradle. Lets start with the world’s smallest USB charger. The idea is very simple: embed a USB connector inside a power plug. No LED for complete charge but the device is intelligent and turn off when a charge is complete.
So what size makes up the world’s smallest USB charger? How about 7cm tall.

Next up is this slick USB to VGA adapter. Although we are seeing more USB monitors these days, it’s safe to say most monitors our there still have VGA connectivity. Well, as you make the transition, this easy to use, plug and play adapter will aid in the process.

Here we see a Hershey’s bar style USB dock station which is great on creativity but short on functionality.
Judging from the picture it’s hard to determine what the LCD display is for as without an internal processor of some sort there is now way to parallel the drives or sort through the data which resides on them.
Now the modular look of the device is interesting and IF you could strip together the drives for a modular type hard drive there might be a buyer out there…somewhere. Even in that instance sharing data on multiple devices would prove useless if one of the UFDs was removed.
SO, given the concept design is seems nothing more extravagant than a USB hub with customized UFDs.

On the heels of USB missile launcher with webcam we have the Wireless USB Missile Launcher from Dream Cheeky.
I’m not sure how much value the wireless missile launcher brings to the table, other than distancing yourself another 15 feet from the firing source, the webcam version with MSN software controls seems a little better.
None-the-less, if your boss doesn’t allow Instant Message software on your PC then roll in the Wireless USB Missile Launcher. At 15 feet distance, it would be easy enough to hide it behind a plant and fire “at will” from an office down the hall.
Albeit a direct hit on the forehead of your boss would be funny enough, I don’t think

Dream Cheeky has carved out a name for themselves with the USB missile launcher and USB circus cannon. Recently the bloggisphere reported on the updated version: USB missile launcher with webcam.
Dream Cheeky partnered with Microsoft on this one and integrated the webcam and control of the robotics through MSN instant messenger. For that reason, it’s called the USB MSN Missile Launcher.
This added user experience lets a remote person view and control the missile launcher to pelt the enemy during a moment of weakness. I reviewed the USB Circus Cannon a while back, and if the webcam version is as loud as the circus cannon version, there is no chance of a surprise attack.
The launcher comes with a detachable video camera and
