God, I can just picture some douchebag rockin a Macbook Air with his USBee sipping a fucking cappucino.

Finally! I'm so fed up with my flash drives spontaneously combusting whenever I try to copy anything larger than 20 Mb...

honestly- I think that this thing is awesome- not because it looks like a bee, but because it is flexible- at work we have gone through 4 shared thumb drives in the last 6 months b/c when it is in the front of the computer somene ends up kicking it and breaking the usb connector off

@Rizzuh:

Fucking + Crappy + Cappucino = Frapachino?

If this was in production, I would go buy it right now.

Make it!!!

Aw crap. I got all excited for a second (good clean design, attractive lines), and then I noticed the Yanko Design vaporware imprimateur....

"USbee" What will Korea think of next

Speaking words of wisdom: let it bee, let it bee.

@Rizzuh: Issues?

Looks more like a butt plug.

@smitty1123: I saw your comment on the main page and thought it said "Looks more like my butt plug." I was like way way to much information.

If I could attach a treble hook, I'll bet I could catch a fish with that

I like the whole idea but it's missing a crucial feature: The keyring hole.

@Spyvie: That's what I was thinking. I have at least two jigging spoons that look like this.

things is too large. The tiny ones the size of a trident stick of gum are the way to go. They don't block other devices, fit in slim profile USB ports, and don't take up excessive amounts of space. You just gotta worry about losing them, or swallowing them, etc.

I'll wait for USBee 2.
It'll probably bee faster.

And why do we need a cooling system again?

This is what happens when you start with a name, then try to design a product around it.

I dont get why it would be a good thumb drive to add to the macbok air

That third picture (with the hand) is clever.

@ludwigk:

you sound more like ur talking about SD cards rather than usb drives

@scarbrtj:

forget the name of that song..but know it was in the soundtrack of the movie "across the universe" is that where you heard it as well?

@redkamel:

because it is bee-utiful?

its nice to see yanko finally pushing the boundries a bit. ventilation is good. but i want smaller flash drives!!!! tiny ones, that only protrude like 5mm!

ps Sandisk Titanium FTW

This thing looks like Little boy...

Is ventilation really necessary on an USB thumb drive?

oh bee-have!

How long before the connectors between the drive and the USB plug wear out with all of the flexing that it does?

Looks like a bomb to me.

'This would be a good thumbdrive solution for the Macbook Air and its unfortunate USB situation.'

But it would clash horribly with my MBA's lovely leopard-skin print!

I would use it. There have been multiple times where I have almost broken my thumb drive in my laptop because I was moving it or someone was setting something else down next to it. The flexibility is important. Vents though, not needed. I want to be able to spill a drop or two of water on it without worrying.

@Rizzuh: hahaha I was thinking the same thing. How hideous this would look sticking out the ONE port in back.

I want one. where can we get one? or two?

Yes, but... will it B u Z z ?

For a great christmas set, make a USB drive in the style of the auto-injector people carry around that are alergic to bee stings.
