Japanese USB fetishists SolidAlliance (maker of Sushi USB Flash Drives) has released an exceptionally expensive Flash stick—the Mottainai. 2 GB of memory housed in a case of bronze, crystals, a bit of gold and Nipponish flair will run you 100,000 Yen (or about $850). Mottainai refers to the concept of failure to maximize a thing’s potential—which seems a bit counterintuitive with regards to a bling’d out memory stick.
