This USB-It stick-on USB cable includes two USB cords and a bunch of tiny double-sided adhesive discs, which will allow you to give virtually anything the appearance of a USB compatible device. Although it’s basically useless apart from jokes and pranks, it will surely fuel fantasies of plugging it into your boss’ head and replacing his “Office Dictator” file with one titled “Doormat”.
Check out a video of the USB-It in action on CubicleBot…
The Mimobot line of designer flash drives is planning to dig into DC in a big way with designs based on the likes of Superman, The Flash and Green Lantern—but they are starting off with vintage Batman figures.
The drives include 1939-era Batman, Adam West-style Batman, Robin, Joker and Catwoman versions in 2G-16GB flavors loaded with bonus content.
The 1939 Batman drive is available now with the rest of the series following in February. The release is limited to only 5,000 units. Check out a promo video after the break.
As a User, you can put Programs on these TRON Lightcycle USB drives. Of course you can also drive them with other things, but that will be left to the explicit spin-off of the movie entitled Pr0n: Leg-assy.
The drives are available in Sam Flynn 4GB and Kevin Flynn 8GB versions.

From CubicleBot: Just when you thought USB gadgets couldn’t get any more convoluted, Fascinations delivers a USB-powered aquarium with a pen holder, LCD calendar with weather information, nature sounds, overhead and interior lights and gravel filtration.
It’s a good thing fish are stupid because two of ‘em sharing a 1.5 quart desktop aquarium with a loud buzz and vibration occurring a set times throughout the day sounds like fish hell.
The USB desktop aquarium will launch in mid October for around $20.

From That’s Nerdalicious!… Evil Mad Science has developed this Egg-Bot machine, which is sure to redefine how your family colors Easter eggs. The device has a rigid frame and uses two computer-controlled motors – one to spin the egg, and the other to move a stylus against its surface, creating repetitive geometric shapes. The Egg-Bot kit includes a USB circuit board that allows you to control how the motors move, and allowing “a resolution of up to 3200 steps per turn of the egg”. The kit also includes the open source Inkscape software and Python extensions necessary for determining what design your egg will carry. Check out some additional photos after the break.
This 4G robot USB drive kind of looks like C3-PO if he was captured and buffed to death. I’ll bet they just wanted to remove his mouth to shut him up.
Mimoco used Star Wars Celebration V as an opportunity to announce the latest in their series of Mimobot USB drives.
Series 6 includes: Yoda, Hoth Luke, Wampa and Snowtrooper and are available in 2GB ($29.95), 4GB ($39.95), 8GB ($59.95) and 16GB ($89.95) capacities. A gallery of the collection is after the break, along with a “deleted seens” Star Wars video featuring the Mimobot characters.
From CubicleBot: Remember that Stealth cat robot flash drive from the other day? Well, there’s another Nekobot flash drive from Incubot on the way, and this time its a robot we all recognize—Voltron. It’s labeled as “coming soon” with 2GB of storage and a Blazing Sword accessory. Based on the Stealth Cat, I would also expect that it will be priced at or around the $40 mark.

From CubicleBot: Unfortunately for the Stealth Cat robot (who hails from a planet of space cats) he is woefully inadequate in both height and storage size to complete his mission of taking over the world. In fact, armies of these things have been captured by humans, torn in half and shoved in USB drives around the globe.
The Cat bot USB drive measures 3.5-inches tall and features articulated shoulders and neck.

Bask in the serene blue glow of this desktop USB-powered boob. Is it cold in here? No, the nipple is erect because it doubles as an on/off switch. Haha…disturbing.
