Lego USB Drive Glows

Someone has come out with a glow-in-the-dark Lego USB drive.  It's cool, but you have to ask yourself, do you need another USB drive to stick on your key-chain? I'm here to tell you my friends that the answer is, yes!  I have 50 USB drives on my key chain.  I just can't get enough.  You know why? Well I'll tell you.  It's because you have to catch them all.  And when I do catch them all, I'll rule the world!  Because my USB drives will defeat your USB drives in some sort of combat to the death, and then I'll laugh mincingly! Muahahahahahahah!
Charge this Glow-in-the-Dark Lego Brick USB key via USB and it will glow in the dark for several hours. The device supports a high speed USB 2.0 interface and is currently available in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB of storage capacities. The Glow-in-the-Dark LEGO Brick USB key is priced at between $35 to $90.(JOHAN, techfrech)
They do look neat, but I think a nice blue would look better.

Pressure Sensitive Keyboard [Microsoft]



Microsoft has been working on uses for a pressure sensitive keyboard.  One of the uses they've come up with is better password protection. Basically, it doesn't just know the key's you've typed, but also how you've type them [Gizmodo].  Okay, now I also want a pressure sensitive mouse: that would be awesome for photoshop.

Back to the keyboard.  I agree this is a step forward in password protection, but say someone has a key logger on their computer.  I bet the logger will be able to copy the pressure of your typing as well. So the lesson here is, stay away from key loggers!

Alienware Speakers are Hawt



I don't know about you guys, but I'm really digging these (fan designed) Alienware speakers.  They remind me of some kind of weird-ass alien venus fly trap, which is awesome!  Because I always wanted my speakers to give off the 'I'm going to bit the crap out of your hand' feeling.

British designer Kevin Boulton has come up with a unique speaker system dubbed “Alienware” that features sharp curves to increase the sound quality. Each speaker contains one tweeter (on the top), two middle sound speakers and one low frequency speaker (at the bottom), allowing quality surround sound. [thedesignblog]
