With all of the other Angry Birds products out there, it was only a matter of time before someone decided to bombard your computer with flying flash drives.
The drives are available in 2GB, 4G and 8GB flavors. Check out the rest of the set on CubicleBot…
Gear4 is prepping some Angry Birds cases for the throngs of people that rushed out to pick up the iPad 2 last week.
There will be three cases in all: Red Bird, Family Shot and Pig King vs. Red Bird—all of which should do a better job of protecting your iPad than glass, cement and wood does protecting green pigs.
Unfortunately, the cases will be a bit on the pricey side at £40 or $65 when released. So far, no information has been released about when that release date might be.
Not sure I have to say much more than LEGO Minifigure 2GB USB Flash Drive, do I?
::grin::
Nah, I didn’t think I did—and this version is official. Here’s hoping they expand on this with more minifig characters and more storage.

From CubicleBot: Sick of Charlie Sheen and is over the top ego? If so, you’re not alone. If you want to search the web without being exposed to the problems of a Hollywood millionaire, a new browser add-on called Tinted Sheen can help.
The browser will hide most Charlie Sheen related text and images from your browsing experience and is available for Chrome and Firefox. If this concept sounds familiar, it’s because the same guys at FFFFF.at also created the Urly-award-winning, Justin-Bieber-erasing Shaved Bieber add-on. Now they just need to make one for Lindsay Lohan.
