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.

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

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.

'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!

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

Is ventilation really necessary on an USB thumb drive?

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

ludwigk — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 00:34:08 EDT

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

@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.

entropyman — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 21:39:21 EDT

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
