A company named Greenhouse have created the Junk Food memory sticks which come in the form of a cheeseburger (pictured above), hotdog, slice of pizza and a sandwich. I guess they are designed for those who have cravings and are trying to quit. Capacities of the flash drives will be up to 1GB and they will be released in Japan. Unfortunately there is no price available yet. Three more pictures of the flash drives can be found after the jump.

USB Airplane Fan
September 8, 2007 by 1 Comment
This little plane is powered by USB. The propeller on the front acts as a fan to cool you down. There is no fear of it taking off due to it being connected via USB (and blowing the wrong way obviously).

USB Plasma Ball
September 3, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The Plasma ball has been around for years. They used to cost an arm and a leg if I remember correctly and then they dropped in price quite a bit. For those who need their plasma ball fix you can now get a USB version which works just like a regular plasma ball that is plugged in. The USB port can provide sufficient power to light up the gasses inside and create a dazzling display of plasma type stuff.
The USB plasma ball stands about 6 inches tall and can be switched on and off by either unplugging it or by the switch located on the base. All we need now is the USB Plasma Ball Flash Drive with cosmic data fragments floating around inside.

USB Storage Stone
August 16, 2007 by 5 Comments
NetGurus came across a cool little 4GB USB mass storage device that looks like a stone. Apparently it will share similar properties to an actual stone (meaning it will hurt if you chuck it at someone). Hopefully all that hard protection will push it in to the rugged category of USB devices.
The drive is made from synthetic resin and it will measure 53 x 40 x 25mm. Looks great to me 🙂

USB Cooler for your Seat

The USB butt cooler is another one of those crazy USB gadgets which comes from the other side of the world. It is basically a USB cushion that you put on your chair which blows cool air upwards keeping you cool in the office through the summer.

USB Hamburger Flash Drive
July 23, 2007 by 2 Comments
USB Flash Drives come in many shapes and sizes these days. The latest one I came across today was the Hamburger version which has a 2GB storage capacity and can transfer data at 8MBps. It supports USB 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0, so however old your PC is you should be ok. The drive has at least 10 years of data retention and it can be written to 1 million times. I think that will suffice as in 10 years 2GB will be laughed at just like my PSION 128K flash disk 10 years ago. It is named Freshly Baked and looks quite cool.
The freshly baked (not really) drive will cost you $59.99 from Vavolo.

USB Engine Hub
July 10, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The USB Engine Hub is a regular USB hub, but acts a little like an engine when connected to your PC or laptop. The top of the engine shakes and engine noises can be heard. There is a start lever and also a gear change lever which makes it create different noises. Apart from that, it is just a regular USB hub. Its a shame it wasnt created as a small engine to power the laptop. That would be cool… ish 😉

USB MicroSD Reader
July 9, 2007 by 1 Comment
Kingston Technology have created a USB MicroSD card reader which allows easier transfer of files between a mobile phone and PC. The MicroSD card slots in to the flash drive which in turn, plugs in to the USB port on your PC. It measures 32.89 x 15.3 x 7.66 mm and can read 13MB/Second and write 3.5MB/Second. It is a USB 2.0 compliant device which allows for higher speeds. However, it is compatible with USB 1.1 just in case you are behind with the times on your PC. Unfortunatly for those who use Vista, this device is not ReadyBoost compatible.
Included with the MicroSD reader is either a 1GB microSD or 2GB microSD card. The 1GB version costs around $20 with the 2GB version costing around the $37 mark.
