Seriously people, we need to get a handle on this. 17 formats is just ridiculous. I’m all for competition but they’re all practically the same, save for different write/read speeds and size. Pretty soon we’ll be seeing 27 memory card reader formats.

One can never have too many gigs especially when you’re toting around pirated music and videos. Fortunately for us, Toshiba saw fit to keep cramming more memory into their line of slick USB flash drives. Their latest offering pimps out with 16GB and has embedded Vista security features, whatever that means.

Oh and look, it’s white too!
