When you're going to buy a USB thumb drive, there's not much differentiating all the brands other than looks. Usually, people just grab the cheapest or the least stupid-looking. That won't be the case when PNY unleashes it's newest 2GB drive. Why? It'll come preloaded with Ghostbusters, that's why. Ghostbusters! There's no word on the pricing or what format the movie comes in, but if it's priced similarly to other 2GB drives, those other drives ...

This is, simply, a Space Invaders keyboard. Well, for copyright reasons it’s called ElectroJoe’s Bendiboard Retroboarde (you need to register just to see it for some dumb reason), but you get the idea. The keyboard shares the same layout as the MacBook, and while the actual characters are a little difficult to discern, you’re obviosuly just paying for the gimmick. And if you’re a child of some time ago and now spend all day in ...

Logitech's last keyboard offering was the wireless touchpad diNovo for Macs, and though this new keyboard is neither wireless nor touchpad-enabled, it's got two things going for it: it's got back-lit keys for night typing, and it's just 0.37-inches deep. That's skinny, though not quite Apple keyboard aluminum skinny. Due in October in the US and Europe for $80. [Press release]

The Gadget: The LaCie USB speakers designed by Neil Poulton are an encore to the original FireWire version. The Price: $60 The Verdict: If you liked the unique ship-vent design of the original FireWire version, you will not be disappointed with its new USB twin. However, outside of the design, I did encounter a few potential problems. Again, I love the design of the speakers. They are extremely compact and the minimalist style looked great ...

With all of that time spent on the computer, I would imagine that most of you can type at a pretty good clip. Back in Elementary school I managed a personal best of 88 WPM (Not that great, but I still had to cheat by working over the same paragraph for an hour or so *shhhhh*). Anyway, I'm curious to know what the average is, so pick the closest figure to your WPM score in ...

Everyone was quite confused as to what Microsoft meant, that is until this picture of the mystery product that would put laser in its place showed up on Amazon’s Germany site. It’s called the Blue Track and it allegedly uses a blue LED teamed up with a wide-angle lens for better tracking on more surfaces than laser and optical are capable of. Hey, I’m ...

Microsoft has a teaser up on their hardware site with the tagline "Say Goodbye to Laser." Most likely a hint regarding the upcoming Sept. 9 Microsoft event, we can only assume that Microsoft has developed an alternative to the near-perfect laser mouse or maybe made a breakthrough in "optical" media. (Well, one of those choices, or they've developed an advanced rail gun/microwave/nuclear technology that the Navy and DARPA will pursue instead of high powered beams ...

It took over a year to bring to market (that's Lebedev for you), but it appears that they took that time to subtly streamline the quirky little drive. You can pick up a 4GB now in yellow, blue or purple for $55. [Art Lebedev via Electronista]
