Harvest Moon video games teach us that a Mythic Hammer can destroy all visible rocks on the screen. And also that being a farmer is no joke, but in the end country life isn’t bad at all…

It looks like the new hit 3-D action platform video game Mirror’s Edge has just gotten a makeover as a 2-D Flash mini-game you can play right in you web browser.

The guys over at Borne Games have created this flattened version of the game (in partnership with EA), and it’s kind of reminiscent of classic Prince of Persia type of game when squished into just 2 dimensions…

Most of the USB memory card readers I come across are rather pedestrian. Conversely, this one is rather automotive.

ElectroJoe’s Motor Maniac is a 16-in-1 memory card reader that looks like a (slightly deformed) little red race car. Now it’s anyone’s guess why the wheels are sticking out at a weird angle, but you still get the point that it’s a vehicle…

Unlike a real race car, you really don’t want to see this one hit the wall and blow up in a fiery crash. That’s because this one could be holding all of your precious digital files.

This 2GB USB memory stick is based (loosely) on on the body of a Formula One race car…

We seem to have a food theme going this morning. After you nosh on an appetizer of some Lego sushi, why not fill up your belly with some USB BBQ?

These goofy USB flash memory devices are disguised to look like crispy, delicious Chinese BBQ…

If you thought the Mini Cooper was small enough already, get a load of these Mini Mini Cooper flash memory devices.

The Mini drives are the latest wacky USB devices to hit the streets. Each one is a 1:48 scale replica of an actual Mini. And just like a real Mini, you won’t be able to fit your luggage in there - but you will be able to store thousands of images, MP3s or a couple of videos…

Got a couple of spare Compact Flash memory cards lying around? Why not turn them into a high-speed, redundant drive array? With this new drive module, you can create your own solid-stated RAID array in seconds.

Simply plug in up to three Compact Flash cards, and this nifty device will set up a RAID array between them, which you can connect to your computer’s high-speed SATA port…

This intricate retro sci-fi USB memory drive comes to us courtesy of an enterprising modder over in Russia.

Meticulously crafted from hand-polished brass and copper, the USB drive reminds me of something out of the art deco neo-future of Buck Rogers - or perhaps more apropos - Flash Gordon.

This thing is just plain gorgeous…

Ever felt the need to leave a television on to make it look like somebody is home while you’re out of town? This quirky little invention does just one thing - simulate the effect of having left your TV turned on.

The $49 FakeTV uses an array of colored, flashing LEDs to create the illusion of the stroboscopic effect of a television…
