Now that Halloween is over, it’s time to turn our energy to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Since Thanksgiving isn’t a Brando thang, they’ve got their eye on the biggest holiday – Christmas.
So putting aside that I’m in Southern California, for those in Michigan, Wisconsin, New York…hell anyone East of California could appreciate these USB heating Christmas gloves. Right?
How about your hands freezing and slowing down your reaction when you are playing game? Sure you’d look ridiculous, but you can’t sacrifice your skills. Or how about stuck in an air-conditioned office space because your boss is 400 pounds and needs an ice locker to work in, the USB Christmas warming gloves would help.Â

Porsche is shipping a limited number of Panamera USB flash drives and we’ve got the pictures. It’s clearly a drive with a great amount of detail and pristine looking Porches logo on the USB cap.
It’s not clear if this is a marketing piece for Porsche or things to come about how we interface with the cars. Wouldn’t it be nice however, to have a USB key to start your car, upload recent maps, download car statistics and diagnostic information, sync MP3 files with your stereo. Seems to me the term USB key has been accepted quite nicely by everyone BUT the car manufacturers.
We believe the capacity is 4GBs, but has not been confirmed.

Get your fashion on with some flash storage. There couldn’t be much more to this tag line for the USB comb.
Keep you data tighty and keep your person tighty.
Carry your files with flair.
I care about my hair and the data I wear.
Should I keep going?
Not.
I had doubts putting this post up today. Honestly it’s just for the pure novelty of it all. Brando has a USB Ferris Wheel for your office. Yes, that’s right, a ferris wheel to make your work day just that much more fun.
The problem is how annoying the USB toy really is. You’ll either throw it out the window or you’re co-workers will. I’m not even sure if kids would enjoy this after 3 or 4 seconds.
I can’t post the video of the USB Ferris Wheel working, but click over to the Brando site and check it out yourself.
I really shouldn’t have posted this useless USB novelty. [$30 + shipping]

Could this be a military technology booby-trap? Doubt it, but it would be cool that’s for sure.

Available in four colors [white, blue, orange, black] and different GB capacities.
The starting price is $20 of 4GB storage from Gadget For All.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a USB tattoo and it isn’t the first time we’ve asked ourselves “why?” But here we are…asking that question again:
Is it me, or does this arm look like it belongs to a woman? Interesting.
MSN did an interesting article on the top 15 tech tattoos – which is the full story – check it out.

Did I miss something? Somehow we jumped from cheap knock off gadget sunglasses with USB to Calvin Klein doing expensive sunglasses with USB. Have we been so bombarded with USB gadget crap, that now mainstream designers are jumping on board…thinking they are missing something?
I think my theory is right. Look at these Calvin Klein sunglasses that sport a 4GB detachable arm.
A second theory could be this poor economy and now the big boys are reaching for just about anything. Either way, it just seems wrong, even to a guy who likes USB stuff.
BTW – Aren’t sunglass arms already flimsy enough? Now we’ve got a detachable arm. Just doesn’t seem right.

A dude named Robotic Evil introduced a new version of his Atari USB case collection. This time an Atari 2600 cartridge. Bulky in design, but cool in style the USB Atari case is getting 2GB of inserted flash memory.
Given the size of the cartridge, it might be more appropriate to stuff a Western Digital Passport USB hard drive in there and really make some good use of the space.
I also think he could tip the scale of coolness with a retractable USB cable rather than the clunky one attached.
However; kudos to Robotic Evil for even thinking it up in the first place.

The MNEMOSYNE USB cube is an artistic 3 dimension puzzle hiding a 16GB USB key inside. The product is made by SolidAlliance, which based on their past products, is all a puzzle to me.
I can understand the artistic point of all this, but take that away and this is what you have:

These USB fish are rubberized drives giving them a very unique shape and bright, vibrant colors. I don’t think the typcial computer geek would appreciate these, but for someone a bit more into aquatic life these could be of interest.
First up:Â USB Swordfish
Wouldn’t it be cool that whenever you plug in a USB device your computer would make an awesome artillery sound? I think it would – for at least the first 30 times – and so I found a solution for you. The USB hub artillery gun.
This hub looks very cool and plays a three second sound effect upon connection of a USB device. This really had me…until I read it was USB 1.1 compliant. I didn’t know China was still cranking out USB with ONLY 1.1 support…especially with USB SuperSpeed just around the corner.
The 1.1 spec means this USB hub artillery gun is really only good for mice, keyboards and other slow input devices. Meaning you wont get the awesome sound effects all that often. Still, it might be worth the

Waaay back in August of 2007 we purposed everyone get a new USB Front Man for the boss, girlfriend or co-workers. Well, Tengu [your front man] now has an updated look. Introducing the “Peace Out,” the “Lightening” and “Wild Child” Tengu USB talking gadgets.
The Tengu automatically moves it’s LED mouth to the music it hears in the room.
Here is a video clip of Tengu doing his thing.
It also looks like SolidAlliance did some mark-up with their mouths and legs to give the Tengu a bit more personality.
