$10,000 USB Drive Makes Life More Difficult, Destitute
Mnemosyne's $10,000, 16GB USB drive is housed inside a puzzle that must be solved to physically get to the memory within. Apparently simple encryption is just too middle-class for anybody rich enough to afford this thing.

Unconfirmed: Apple Orders 100 Million 8GB Chips for New Handhelds
DigiTimes is reporting that Apple has placed a massive order for 100 million 8GB flash storage chips, mostly from Samsung, that will then be combined into larger capacities. What could this purchase indicate? The quantity, twice the size of last year's order, is likely to make such chips scarce in the market, which could hurt competitors like Nokia and Sony. It's a pretty plausible rumor, as far as rumors go: Apple will probably announce new flash-based handhelds, especially the iPhone and iPod touch updates, in June, which isn't far off. It's a big increase, but if Apple is introducing, say, a larger version, that'll use a lot more of the 8GB chips than smaller capacities. We're filing this one under "Probable."

The Pentagon Bans USB Flash Drives: Will There Be a Floppy Disk Comeback?
AP reports that the Department of Defense has, at least for the time being, banned USB flash drives and is collecting all Pentagon-owned drives from the entire department. The Pentagon hasn't issued an official statement, but a spokesman did say that they are dealing with a "global virus" that affects such external storage. Apparently, Department of Defense lackeys are being told that they may not get their drives back, and no information has been given regarding the length of the ban. A list of items now banned from the Pentagon after the jump. More »

Adobe, ARM Teaming Up to Optimize Flash on Mobile Devices
According to the MIT Technology Review, Adobe is working with mobile processor manufacturer ARM on optimizing Flash Player 10 and AIR for ARM processors. Why does this matter? Because ARM processors are found in 90% of mobile phones (iPhone and G1 included), not to mention set top boxes, PMPs, and gaming devices (like the Nintendo DS). And how will they do it? Adobe and ARM say they have three main areas they're working on to improve the mobile flash experience. More » -

Flash 10 on the Android G1: It's Getting There
It's no secret that Adobe is playing with Flash products on Android, but at the Adobe MAX 2008 developer conference that company showed off Flash Player 10 running on Android (and the T-Mobile G1 phone, of course). As you can see, the implementation isn't the silky smooth experience we've become so accustomed to on our full blown computers, but vector-based zooming stays intact. Now just to get a solid release date. [I4U]
