The 1GB USB Man may come in gold and silver, but he'll leave with your wife. $90. [gift-library via bookofjoe]

Kitten Ears USB Sticks Can Be Used In Your Cosplay Fantasies

Stick these two on your head and put a kitten tail up your butt to become that weird guy who likes to play pussy when he's home alone. Alternatively, use these as 2GB memory sticks.

The $42 Neko Mimi Memory is what my furry nightmares are made of. Well, that an toothless Demi Moore. Fortunately, it's only available in Japan, unlike Demi.

Evangelion USB Stick Entry Plugs Its Way Into Your Heart

Jason Chen — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 15:40:00 EDT

All Evangelion nerds (like me) should know exactly what this Entry Plug is supposed to be: the ride Shinji and Rei have that plugs them (in more ways than one) into a gigantic robot. This USB storage version does NOT allow you to destroy Tokyo while protecting it, but it does keep your files safe while you're commuting to and from work. The only caveat is that these are only 2GB, whereas any self-respecting anime fan would have gone up to 64GB sticks by now. What's all the rest of the space in this drive taken up by? Whininess.

World's Cheapest 64GB USB Stick Costs Only $111

Jason Chen — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:40:00 EDT

For the world's cheapest man, we present the world's (supposedly) cheapest 64GB USB stick. It's assembled just for you out of the Netherlands, the place where quality (?) USB drives are made. You have the choice of brown or black, which makes perfect sense since this thing's made of leather, and nobody wants a purple leather USB drive. We're cheap, not animals. [Van Der Led]

Rohos Logon Key Converts Any USB Stick To a Mac Login Key

Jason Chen — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:50:00 EDT

Rohos Logon Key is a bit of software that can convert any USB key you have into an actual "USB key" to unlock your Mac. The software sits in your login screen and detects the serial number of your USB key (which is unique, but might not be too easy to duplicate) as the identifier to log you in. Quite cool if you need a convenient way to secure your files from friends and relatives, but probably isn't strong enough to deter any professional data thieves.

Adorable iPod USB Stick Will Melt Any Apple Hater's Heart

Sure, you might loathe Apple with every fiber of your Windows-running being. But look at this iPod USB stick. It's so cute. How can you hate it? It comes in 1GB and 2GB flavors for £19.95 (about $40, damn weak dollar) and £24.95 ($50). Yep, still adorable. Awwww. No? You probably hated Wall-E too. [BoysStuff via Nerd Approved]

Kingston DataTraveler Micro is a USB Stick with MicroSD Card Reader

Jason Chen — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 13:15:14 EST

USB thumb drives stopped being cool about 10 years ago, but what happens when you stick a microSD card reader on board? It gets cool again, that's what. Kingston's DataTraveler Micro does just that, and even holds up to 4GB of onboard memory inside the thumbdrive itself. The reader can read not only microSD cards, but microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro (M2). Prices are $19, $28 and $42 for the 1, 2 and 4GB models respectively. [Kingston]
