Have you ever seen a USB device catch fire? I have, sort of. I was able to do it on the first try! It’s this cool new combo flash drive and lighter! The USB 8GB Flash Drive Lighter from the folks at ThinkGeek is available for about $50.00.

Electronics and fire have never been friends and you could even say they are essentially sworn enemies. But in the case of this USB flash drive they have decided to call a truce. Long standing differences have been put aside to create a product that is both practical and very unique.
This flash drive has an ample 8GB capacity and the lighter is refillable. The USB connector slides out of the bottom of the metal case, using a small slider lever located on the side of the lighter. The lighter has a polished chrome finish and an adjustable flame.

Features of this wonderful little gadget include:

Refillable lighter with built-in USB flash drive.
8GB capacity
USB connector slides out of the lighter
Metal case
Adjustable flame
Includes USB cable

You just never know when you may need a lighter – even in an emergency. And, of course, no self-proclaimed Geek would ever leave home without a USB flash drive!

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
