A very interesting and funny thing happened to me a couple of days ago when I met two of my best friends and went to a fairy that was organized to celebrate a special day that is known under the name of Mărţişor, here in my country. You probably won’t be able to frame it, as the word incorporates some weird letters, specific to my native language, that you are not familiar with. However, this isn’t the point. The point is that one of my friends was eager to buy herself from the fairy a handmade little piece of jewelry. So far, nothing unusual. But wait ‘til I finish my story. She wanted a cow-shaped jewel. Why, I couldn’t understand. But who am I to spoil her happiness?
Now, seeing this cow-shaped USB hub, I cannot help but wonder if she’d love to have one for herself. I don’t know, but if she’s so interested in the giant creature, she probably wouldn’t mind having a funny cow on her desk.

As far as the product specifications, they include: USB 2.0 backward compatible with USB 1.1, a cow-like call whenever you plug it into the USB port and 4 ports. Measuring 90 x 50 x 48 millimeters and weighing approximately 50 grams, the funny cow comes in a wide variety of colors, such as white, blue, gold and yellow.
If you want to have a little cow of your own, then you should go to Gadget4all and grab it for $12.

Even if you scream and shout and you lay yourself out, it won’t matter! Pink gadgets are made to turn people (women, more precisely) into some sort of enthusiastic customers that don’t care very much about the purpose of those gadgets, about the functionality, the price or other similar aspects and do whatever it takes in order to make them yours.
I admit, when it’s soft, like in the image above, pink can be considered an invigorating and very peaceful color. But come on, this doesn’t mean I’ll convert into a pink gadgets hunter!
Now, if you’re not already sick and tired with so many USB hubs that seem to have joined an unofficial party that has one purpose and one purpose only, to invade the human race, then let me introduce you another one, which is, of course, PINK!

More appropriate to a lady than to a gentleman, due to its diaphanous color, this lightweight USB hub has a very travel-friendly silhouette. As far as the features are concerned, they include: compatibility with USB 2.0, 4 USB 2.0 hi-speed ports (backwards compatible with 1.1), plug-and-play, an indicator when the power is on.
One of the four USB ports can be rotated up to 90 degrees (as you can see in the picture) and there is no need for an external power supply. Measuring 9.4 x 4.1 x 1.4 centimeters and weighing approximately 58 grams, the “7†shaped USB hub is compatible with Windows 2000/XP and Vista.

People like to have everything very well organized and, most of all, they are enthusiastic about leaving their mark on the corner of the earth they create for spending their lives. From kitchen tools, to office gadgets or electronics, each and every device must be personalized so that they harmoniously combine within an owner-friendly home.
Lamps do not make an exception, and there’s no doubt about it. They have to be innovative, ingenious and, why not, different from anything that people can find on the market. Yeah, that’s right, the oneness is a must.
There are many cool ideas hitting the lamp market, and this new USB Lounge Lamp is just one of them. Having a very stylish design, it is characterized by a practical feature, as it solves a problem we are all facing these days: the shortage on outlets. And do you know how? It is powered via your USB port. This means you can connect the lamp to the USB port of your computer and you’ll avoid, this way, torturing your eyes by goggling them at the screen in the dark.

Compared to other USB gadgets you’ve seen before, this retro lamp is quite appealing, aesthetically speaking, but its main disadvantage consists of its small (very small, as a matter of fact) dimensions.
On the other hand, if what you’re looking for is a lamp stuffed with zillions of other gadgets, being as multifunctional as a device should be these days, then the USB Lounge Lamp isn’t the perfect choice for you. Being made of black plastic and measuring approximately 25.5 x 10 x 10, the lamp is quite affordable, as it only costs $9.

There’s a huge difference between those who are nerds by nature and who can’t do anything about it, because this would mean to change too many things about their lifestyle in order to not be considered this way anymore, and those who feel that being a nerd is some sort of a trend that, once followed, converts into the most fashionable human being on earth.
And if we think about those accessories that makes the wearer worthy of the statute of genuine geek, then the glasses should cross your mind. You must remember the bad jokes kids made during your childhood concerning your glasses, calling in a way that was able to drive you crazy no matter how indifferent you were trying to be: four eyes. It was, and there’s no doubt about it, the offence that hurt more than any other ugly word that people used against you.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
For those who did a great job when trying to get over those moments, leaving them in the past, just where they belong, as a matter of fact, I have the greatest USB flash drive of them all. The USB glasses have a storage capacity of 2 GB of data. The bad thing about these glasses is the fact that you can’t actually wear them, but, being only 2 millimeters thin, they can be used as a bookmark. Yes, I know, it’s a disappointment you wouldn’t have expected when seeing these pictures, but the multifunctionality should compensate this disadvantage.
The Four Eyes USB Glasses can be yours as soon as you are prepared to spend $29 in order to make them yours, paying “a tribute to nerd cultureâ€.

Did I tell you or did I not? Gadgets have to be cool in order to make people want to buy them. An ingenious silhouette that doesn’t really help you figure out what in earth you have in front of your eyes is undoubtedly the must-have of every season. Whether it’s the Flash Drive Band that one can wrap around the wrist or the Brass Cross USB Drive, adorned with a couple of crystals, they have to be different from the competition.
And the Segon Turbo Flash Drive is another relevant example of the fact that the imagination has no boundaries whatsoever. And you’d better watch out, guys, because you might be deceived by appearances. Yes, it’s true, what you see in the picture above looks very much like a standard DDR RAM, but don’t rush into conclusions! The point is that the real identity of the product is other than what you have in mind right now (oh, right, I gave you the name and it’s more than enough!).
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Now let me break the news for you: after giving it another look, you’ll realize that the device is in fact a USB flash drive, an ingenious one, as you can easily see for yourself. One of the main advantages of the flash drive is the portability, due to the “special mini size†and the negligible weight, which makes it perfect for those who want to carry it anywhere they go. In addition, it supports Windows Ready Boost, designed to enhance the system speed.
As far as the compatibility is concerned, the Segon Turbo Flash Drive works with Windows 2000 / XP/ Vista, Linux 2.4, Mac OS X and their most recent versions. Measuring 29 x 15 x 4 millimeters and weighing approximately 4 grams, the device is available in two different versions: 2GB and 4GB. They can be yours from Brando for $12 and $20, respectively.
