Ok, what’s the deal with all the USB accesories? I don’t get it. Everywhere I turn some designer comes up with an "uber" cleaver design or concept for a USB, what’s up with that? Who cares? Yeah, maybe that weird group of geeks in high school care enough to buy a (insert favorite thing here) USB gadget, but for corporate America? I just don’t see the appeal? Why spend money on a device that is going to be out dated in a couple of months anyway, when Apple comes out with some ultra cool and sexy alternative to USB’s?

Someone leave a comment and fill me in, please.

I just got a press release from Time Warner letting us all know that Warner Bros has chosen to go exclusive with the blu-ray format starting on the 1st of June.

Fire trucks are too slow, when a fire breaks out they are at the scene days, even months later. (Although my girlfriend says otherwise) Well, here is a modified truck that will get anywhere to any fire in almost no time at all. That right folks, it’s a fire truck with a MIG 16 jet engine.

Top Gun for firemen. I’ll be Iceman. You can be Goose

Jobo’s Giga Vu line has been geared towards photographers who are always looking for more and more storage, especially in the field.

The 160GB Giga Vu Pro Extreme adds support for Jobo’s photoGPS unit and comes with an SD/SDHC adapter. The regular specs are still the same: a 3.7-inch VGA screen, support for 100+ RAW formats, loupe viewing modes with dust detection, TV-out, PictBridge support.

Don’t expect them to be cheap either with the 80GB version at $599, the 120GB for $749, and the $160GB model for $899.
