    I can see some valid uses for something like this, especially keeping a bootable OS or toolkit on one side and regular files on the other -- but just using it to divide files is silly. That's what folders are for.

    Dont ever combine work and personal stuff, just have two drives. Your employer may feel seizing the work drive is ok, and if you have your personal stuff on there as well, it then becomes THEIRS. Conversely, if you have work stuff on your personal drive, you may be violating a confidentiality agreement. Murky legal waters, so just keep it seperate to be sure.

    Too bad they look like something straight out of a Family Dollar in 1986.



    What does that sweet retro style combined with the "designer" price tag upgrade your douchebaggery to?

    So, take a set of essentially $30 sunglasses, incorporate a $10 thumb drive, and slap a "designer" (*gag me*) name on it--then give it a 500% markup. Yeah, whoever among you falls for this deserves to be fleeced.



    Oh, yeah, forgot to say that that ear piece is pretty butt ugly.

    These would be great except that Calvin Klein's design team seems to forget that people lose their sunglasses constantly.

    Am I the only one getting nervous about the increase in security systems relying on one's fingerprints? I mean, if a criminal wants to bypass your computer's defenses, they KNOW all they have to do is whack off your hand and take it with them.

    I had to comment on this cause I have this friend/co-worker that brags that he uses his penis as the scanner code.

    What you guys want is one of these: [www.lacie.com]


    Speeds of 30 & 10 Mb/s, durable, no cap, and just looks great. Currently the largest size they do is 8GB, but as soon as they release a 16GB I'm getting one...

    @kyokan: read this:[computershopper.com]

    Manufacturers advertise maximum burst speed, not average speed. One of these (Imation Atom, SanDisk Extreme Cruzer Contour, Kingston DataTraveler HyperX) might outperform the Lacie in the real world.

    The Imation atom is also very small, and writes at almost double the speed (11Mb/s). It reads faster too (22.2Mb/s). [computershopper.com]
