USB Nail Memory Stick - Protection by Rex
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Storage, Toys,
Another gimmicky USB 2.0 memory stick. The Nail holds 2GB and comes at a size of 9 x 3.4cm for $43.39. Leave a hammer lying next to it and you might get some attention from your co-workers. When they get too close, you know that no one will steal it if you also have your USB Guard Dog plugged in. With built-in sensor, Desktop Rex will growl if anyone gets close. He can also run on 3 AA batteries (not included) for $21.69.

Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LCD Keyboard
Posted by Jenny Lewis Categories: Accessories, USB, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop, Peripherals,
Lusting after an Optimus Maximus OLED keyboard? Don’t have the $1600 to drop on such a luxurious - albeit “OMGcooooool” - peripheral, especially when you already have a keyboard that (I’m assuming) works? We just might have found you a happy medium. The Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LCD keyboard retails for a comparatively bargain price of $199.99 (tack on an extra $35 if you need a keypad, though that won’t light up). You won’t get the awesome program-specific key layouts like the Optimus features, but you will get the pretty colors and soft lighting, all of which are programmable with the included software. ThinkGeek is currently the only place in the States that the Luxeed is available, so get those credit cards ready!

Etsumi Digital Camera Pouch
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Cameras, Portable Audio / Video,
For those who don’t do tripods or want something a little handier, Etsumi has developed a Digital Camera Pouch with built-in stand. The device is available in dark grey or pink, and comes in two models, the S-sized 60 x 25 x 90mm and the M-sized 60 x 32 x 93mm. Pre-order for $31.26 for a September 1 release date. We like that the case is tiny enough that we can sneak it into places that keep discouraging us from taking “unauthorized” pictures, namely aging rock stars who don’t want to be seen on YouTube or Flickr.

Three-in-One USB Mirror Web Camera
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Cameras, PC / Laptop,
We have found a webcam for narcissists. The three-in-one Mirror Web Camera works as a regular webcam with a 1.3 megapixel resolution, a mirror for those times when the boss is coming, and a spycam for unsuspecting coworkers. The mirror has 24 white LEDs to really make you feel all-important. The cam works with IM or Skype, supports USB 1.0 and 2.0, and has a SuppoLens for rotation adjustment. Compatible with Windows XP/Vista, the 150 x 260 x 120mm device comes with a cable and adapter and carries a price of $79.00.

Lenovo 2008 Olympics Thumb and Flash Drives
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Home Entertainment, Storage,
Wonder how China will be able to pay for all that high-tech stuff from the opening ceremonies at the Beijing Summer Olympics? Aside from tickets, Lenovo has become the official drive designer/manufacturer. Their Limited Edition 4BG thumb drive is made from the same material as the torch and goes for a whopping $980.00. Their Mascot series of 4GB flash drives have a Fuwa image on the front and one has the logo. The set is available for a less expensive $199.99.
If you are really into the games and want a different perspective, visit Lenovo’s site for news, extreme coverage, and Medal Tracker.

People who leave their computers on 24/7 have a new gadget that will save some energy. Attach the Ecobutton to your PC via USB and if you leave your desk, it will put your computer on “ecomode.” Even better, it will record how much power, money, and carbon units you have saved. Tap a key and it turns back on. Made from recycled plastic, it will keep track of the last time it was used and the total over time. Guilt just doesn’t get any better for £14.95 (~$29.00.)
