This is awesome. I ran across these muscle car flash drives at the Deadly Computer Blog.
What would you rather be carrying… a flat black boring USB flash drive or one of these stylish roadsters?
From etsy.com:
New to the car lot is this awesome USB Flash Drive Muscle Car. Under the hood, this thing is packing 1Gig of memory.

Sometimes a hard disk is just dead. They just die. There may be no way to recover the data with means that you have at your disposal.
Here’s an interesting view on what to do in this situation:
Stop crying. The thing is dead, so why don’t you open it? You have nothing to loose. Get a screwdriver and have a peek inside. Don’t touch the plates, don’t touch anything. Plug it. Try to boot, from it or from another one or from a floppy, doesn’t matter.

Utilizing the Furby platform to build a super computer?
Surprisingly, the Furby CPU can be overclocked significantly, with a corresponding boost in computing power. The biggest problem, however, is that of cooling, because for some reason the units are covered with an insulating fuzzy layer that encourages the buildup of heat rather than enhancing cooling like a standard aluminum heat sink would have. This particularly ill-considered and impractical design decision was probably something that the marketing department came up with, perhaps because of something related to the name “Furby.”
Interesting. Hacking a Furby is a somewhat common hobby, as evidenced by the amount of information available on the internet, try a google search. For example, certain types of remote controls have been proven to affect a Furby.
It is also fairly easy to pick up a Furby from eBay.
If you’re intrigued enough to dig deeper into the world of Furby hacking, you might benefit from some visual inspiration:
The Furby is a weird thing to behold.
