If you yank out a USB drive from your computer, do you think it hurts the stick or could damage the drive? No it doesn’t. Well, it’s possible, but not probable. The reason why is that Windows updated their removal policy for mass storage devices a long time ago. To mitigate the likelihood of data […]
Remove Read Only USB – Remove CD-ROM USB Partitions If you are like me, you’ve done a great bit of searching on the internet to remove Read Only USB partition or to remove CDROM USB partition, and unfortunately the information is very scarce and the information which is out there, isn’t very clear and direct.

Not that we’d EVER see a USB device in Star Trek, but if we did, it might be a USB communicator like the one from Gadget4All. The Star Trek USB Communicator comes on the heels of the most recent release of Star Trek [May 8th]. The movie is a chronicle of the early days with […]
The new USB video borescope from USBFever gives you the chance to check things out that you’ve never wanted to see. Ok maybe that’s a bit odious [and suggestive], but the option is available considering the water resistant camera head and tube.

It’s not bulky. It will sit flush in your car. It’s got feedback via the blue LED light. It’s iPhone compatible, meaning it’ll charge anything. Only $15 USD. Awesome. I went to buy it on-line and it’s not […]
