Geek Chic Goes Cutesy

I could see where this little invention might scare small children, or even worse, fascinate them. It's a USB thumb (aka flash) drive, dressed up to look like a teddy bear. Pop its head off, insert it into a free USB port, and voila, you have portable storage space. Umm . . . there's HUNNY in that thar USB port, and I gots to get me some.

Personally, I think it's hilarious. But I probably wouldn't hang it off a clip on a briefcase or backpack (too easy to lose the body, and end up with just the head still attached).

This one's up there with the iPot for hilarity, but is far more useful. Still, I won't be sewing a little bear suit for my thumb drive. It does get pretty warm after being plugged in for a few hours, and I wouldn't want it to overheat and die on me. My thumb drive is company-issued, and although they're not expensive anymore to replace, why chance it?
