OMG, there is a golden USB drive, it holds 4GB, it is made of 14K gold, not sure bout the R/W speeds, but it looks beautiful. Only flaw is that it has U3.

I wish I had one of those, I would get one of those if I had the money! It is bout 2K ("Introductory Price"), if its R/W speeds are decent I will be definetly be having this as my dream drive.

BTW it seems to have small diamonds, and the cap is kept to the drive via a golden chain.

Did I mention it is a Hi-Speed USB Device?

Looks like the phazing out of U3 is taking effect

I see some effects like 2 of the 3 U3 blogs dissapeered. Also on the U3 software central the spotlight is gone.

M$ is probably gonna make U3 worse, they will probably make it so the flash drive only works on Genuine Windows OSes, also prepare for M$U3GA (Micro$oft U3 Genuine Advantage), if they do such a thing it will probably have spyware-like behaviors like phoning-home info like how much of the drive space is consumed, serial number, make, model,(credits card numbers and other sensitive data perhaps? Wink ) etc.

Hmmm...

So, I finally got my new phone in the mail and with it came this 50 free songs card from eMusic. So I thought "Cool, free music!" I went to their website and downloaded their download manager program and started the install and to my surprise, the installer was an NSIS installer. I thought it was weird that a company that deals with closed source programs would use an open source program like NSIS to build the installer (I know NSIS allows it, it still weird).

Well . . .

Anybody noticed that Off topic posts aren't shown on your tracker?

That I usually start my posts with "well . . ."

Disney movies don't make sense? ('cept for a few that came out via pixar)

I double posted (never mind that)

Any other quirks you've noticed?

No, the earth is round like a meatball doesn't count
