Here’s a fun concept for a video game… you’re stuck in a maze and the only way out is to puke all over the place. That’s the basic concept behind Spewer.

In this indie physics-based game from Eli Piilonen and Edmund McMillan, you play a test subject caught in a variety of devious puzzles, and your only method of escape…

These aren’t the first Star Wars themed flash drives I’ve seen, but they do have the biggest heads I’ve seen on a Star Wars flash drive, so at least they’ve got that going for them.

The bobblehead-esque USB drives feature the likenesses of Darth Vader,Yoda, a Stormtrooper and Boba Fett, and each one stores 2GB of data, which isn’t a whole lot,…

The word “nano” got thrown around yet again as InnoDisk gave the world a glimpse of the future at the recently concluded Computex exhibit. This time it’s a solid state drive we’re talking about. So is it worthy of being called a nano SSD? See for yourself:

Damn. That’s 128 GB in a box just a bit bigger than a…

Sometimes the most obvious ideas make great titles. Such is the case with Cat Cat Watermelon, a browser game about simple cats, and also watermelons. Oh, and stacking, but Cat Cat Watermelon has a slight edge over Stack Cat Watermelon. Slight.

Cat Cat Watermelon is a simple series of balance puzzles, charmingly well-presented and quite challenging (to me, at least). And yes,…

Here’s a girly-girl accessory that looks much more like a swanky piece of jewelry than a storage device for your computer.

But beneath the surface of this sparkly bejeweled bracelet is a hidden USB flash drive. The connector hinges neatly out of the side of the bracelet when you’re ready to jack it into your computer.

And while all those…

What do you expect to happen when you pop the lens off the front of your Canon EOS 450D camera? Certainly not this.

That’s because this isn’t an digital camera at all. It’s actually a intricately detailed 2GB USB flash drive version of the popular digital camera. The tiny dSLR even features a light-up back panel when you plug it…

So the vast gaming frontier is pretty well packed with shmups of all kinds. Scroll, bounce, dodge, a little running, a little gunning–whatever your preferred action, you can get it in a shooter… and now, that even includes kissing. Which is to say not shooting at all, but that’s how you gotta roll in Kissma. Kissma, a browser-based lip-smacking indie…

How many times have you accidentally taken your USB flash drive into the swimming pool, only to find all your data destroyed when you towel off? What’s that you say? None times? That’s alright, we’ve got an invention for you anyway.

Man Works Design’s K-95 waterproof USB flash storage device is a concept design in search of an actual need.…

Video games make all sorts of activities fun. Cooking Mama makes cooking fun. Harvest Moon makes farming fun. Lode Runner makes self-torture fun. Can a video game make biochemistry fun?

Try DNA Heroes, a flash game that combines Guitar Hero with…well, actually nothing. It’s just GH with electronic music, and instead of notes you get amino acids scrolling down the screen. That’s hardly nerdy; I’m…

Wanna know how old your brain is? How old are you? Then that’s how old your brain is too. But this Japanese Flash game thinks otherwise. I’m guessing it’s just lonely and wants some attention.

When the game starts, a series of numbers flash on the screen for maybe half a second. Circles will then pop up in place of…

One of my first posts here at Technabob was about a flash game about saving energy. The US government’s Department of Energy heeded Canada’s example and came up with their own entertaining website to encourage people – particularly kids – to save energy.

The Canadian game  just plain sucked; fortunately the DoE’s offering is better and more polished, plus the…

The last time I tried to jam a DDR RAM card into the side of my laptop, not only did it completely fail to work, I shorted out all of the chips and electrocuted the cat. Thankfully, the guys over at Brando have come up with a solution that should prevent such horrible catastrophes from happening again.

The Segon RAM…

This may not be the first time we’ve seen a mix of Mario and President Obama, but it’s certainly the most interactive. Parody flash game Super Obama World replaces some classic images from Super Mario World with a grinning image of the president himself, and some of the familiar enemies and objects have been politicized.

Perhaps the funniest changes are to the…

Whether you’re nearsighted or farsighted, I can pretty much assure you that these “eyeglasses” won’t give you 20/20 vision; but they will help your computer remember things a little bit better.

These whimsical 2GB Four Eyes USB flash memory drives were designed by Willie Tsang for IMM Living. The chunky black frames don’t contain any lenses, so they won’t help…

Admit it: if you’re an Xbox 360 owner, you get the tiniest little thrill whenever that “achievement unlocked” message flashes before your eyes. Some of you even play solely for that moment, it seems (though why you’d do that when you could do this is beyond me). Well, now you can rack up all the achievements you want (or rather,…
