New 4GB Flash Drive Packs Quite a Punch

PCPro has a neat little tidbit about a new flash drive from Corsair. This little drive, only half the size of a lighter, packs a punch with 4GB of data storage and a very reasonable price tag (approx $32 USD). "When a Corsair rep turned up at Dennis Towers yesterday he told us he'd brought something pretty special to show off. We were therefore distinctly underwhelmed when he said it was ... a flash drive. But this flash drive needs seeing to be believed. It's been passed all round the office, where it's invariably been greeted with ooohs and aaaahs of grinning appreciation."

See! Even the goatse trolls are less than enthusiastic. "Stories" like these bring everyone down.

Hell, even those uncontacted natives in the remote amazon wilderness were unimpressed.

Yes, but what we don't have is 8GB Micro SD card vendors paying from front page Slashdot ads.

Geez, my dick is smaller than THAT!

Wait a minute. Did I just say that out loud?

I have a lighter, the size of a flash drive. Maybe we can make these objects into standard units of measure!

So, does Slashdot get paid for this kind of advertisement?

Maybe not, but I bet they get alot of free flash drives.

Maitre D: And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin USB drive.

Mr Creosote: No.

Maitre D: Oh sir! It's only a tiny little thin one.

Mr Creosote: No. Fuck off - my wallet's full... [jingles]

Maitre D: Oh sir... it's only wafer thin.

Mr Creosote: Look - I couldn't fit in another thing. It's absolutely stuffed. Bugger off.

Maitre D: Oh sir, just... just one...

Mr Creosote: Oh all right. Just one.

Maitre D: Just the one, sir... voila... bon jour...

So what does a media placement on slashdot go for?

I have an amazing computer that is battery powered and fits on your lap that I would like to promote.

Join the party, pal.

The best part of the whole "article"

[jeffmeden]

This guy should NOT be a "components" ANYTHING with a world-class knucklehead observation like this:

Considering our components editor paid £50 for a single gigabyte of bulky storage just a couple of years ago, the inexorable march and miniaturisation of USB storage is plain to see.

Jeepers! Only a few years in order for storage technology to get smaller, more capacious, and cheaper! Oh what wonders the future has brought!

Sure: this flash drive measures 0.5 Imerial Lighers and holds 0.10 Libraries of Congress worth of data.

How many Libraries of Congress can the lighter burn down?

You're right. No wifi, less space than a Nomad. Lame.
