Almost everyone has some spare memory cards that need to be used in some form or fashion. There’s not much you can do with one once you get a newer, bigger one, so this concept that collects these microSD cards and turns the combined storage into a larger USB flash drive makes a lot of sense.

If made, Fang-Chun Tsai’s Collector USB Flash Drive would allow you to dynamically chang ethe storage of a USB flash drive, adding to the base storage. For example, if the base USB flash drive has 32 GB, and each of the microSD cards is 16 GB, then you could be looking at a combined storage capacity of 80 GB.

Needless to say if Thanko hasn’t made this yet, they should!

Rounding out the list,]]> According to at least one set of criteria, Ms. Pac-Man, the girlied up version of everyone’s favorite power-pellet chomper, must be the best arcade game of all time… or at least, the easiest to track down. Ms. Pac-Man is apparently the most collected arcade game.
