Toaster USB Hub and Toast Flash Drives: Ready to be Jammed with Data

I’m sure you have a thousand and one flash drives by now, but as far as gimmicks go, you don’t see USB hubs with matching flash drives that often. Too bad this toaster USB hub doesn’t pop the flash drives out when they’re ejected.

The flash drives come in four variants, including one that seems to have been burnt to a crisp already:

The toaster also has an SD Card reader built-in. You can of course use the USB hub with any flash drive (and the toast drives with any USB hub), but, well:

Unfortunately, this delicious combo costs a lot of bread. ThinkGeek is selling the goodies separately, $28 (USD) for the hub and $25 for each of the 4GB drives, so for a fully-loaded four-slice toaster, you’re looking at $128.

R2D2 Cufflinks Are The Accessories You Were Looking For

By David Ponce

Please pardon the inevitable joke/reference in the headline.

Flash drive cufflinks are nothing new. We wrote about a set back in 2006. But officially licensed and painstakingly detailed R2D2 cufflinks? No, that’s new for us. The fact that they’re official means George Lucas will get a little bit richer still on every purchase. But since George needs to get his cut, and the manufacturer his, and the distributor too, and everyone in the chain… each pair costs $200. Yeah, that’s a ridiculous amount for a pair of sleeve buttons. But hey, you never know. Well heeled Star Wars fan should take note that they’re currently sold out, though a restocking date of july 9th is given.
