    I like this one better.

    I mean, really?
    I have no problems with Steampunk... I like it, even after being overhyped and overdone.

    But to charge this much for something this fugly? Looks awfully cheap, the paint job plain sucks (unless it's pure gold, the only way I can see that price justified).

    Where's the copper tubes? Rusty treatment? Steel parts? Square-ish design, wood, leather?

    The sad truth is that, somewhere out there, there are always idiots with money to burn who are willing to waste their money on this kind of thing.

    @enomosiki: As you say...with money to burn :-)

    If one HAD enough money to burn and one were thinking of burning some, then it would be better to transfer said money to someone else who may appreciate it more.

    Better in that it was pass along to someone else then consumed by fire...no?

    Do you guys really care what your USB sticks look like? Personally, i dont care what colour/shape it is as long as its portable, good quality and has a swivel cap ( i tend to lose the ones with detachable caps). I was out shopping with a friend and it took her 1 hour 10 minutes to find a USB stick that matches her laptop. I had to hold my tongue. It would have taken me less than 15 minutes to buy one.
    [dont even get me started about her ipod cover shopping adventure.....2 friggin months to find the perfect one]

    If the gears were real, and actually started moving when you started a data transfer, perhaps then! This would be worth it, but seeing as how this is basically an elaborate reskin I say it's not worth it.

    "Yes, that is no misprint. This USB drive holds an astounding 64 Gigabytes of data. I tested it, shoveling 26Gb in over a course of 2 hours. The drive registered 1/3 full, so it will hold the full 64Gb.
    This is the fourth in my Pocket Memory series of USB drives. If you are confused about what happened to #3, it is on my keychain. #3 is a 32Gb drive which I am using as my personal drive.
    Because of the huge memory, Pocket Memory 4 required an extensive hydraulic liquid cooling system, complete with manifolds and tiny induction pumps and filters. Don't worry, it's perfectly safe. As for the price, many ask "why are these things so damned expensive"? The short answer is, it's art. Just think how much this will be worth on Antiques Roadshow in 100 years."

    I just facepalmed so hard the back of my head hurts.

    The whole steampunk thing is getting old...especially if it is just sizzle. Now if it is a 1TB flash drive, then we've got something for $1K.

    I think you'd have to make it smaller. Vinyl doesn't travel well. Perhaps if we could as a collective develop some other method of transporting recorded music. Perhaps something light that could be rolled up and played off a spool of some sort.

    @weylin: I use an electrochemical storage device with a MASSIVELY parallel access-rate and potentially limitless storage space.

    To be fair, though, teh data... It's mostly lolcatz.

    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.
