The USB, um, syringe

by Ryan Block, posted Sep 4th 2006 at 5:35AM

We kind of hoped Kiloo's crack cocaine business model wouldn't give way to further narcotization in the gadget industry, but it sounds like they really struck a chord with the easily addicted among us. Today's piece of paraphernalia is a rather, um, colorful USB drive ranging in sizes from 128MB to 1GB, which we're lovingly dubbing the Doherty Drive. Crack-rock n' roll dude.

If people in Silverlake owned computers, they'd probably be freaking out about this right now.

I was rolling when I saw this. As a child, I lived on Doherty Drive in Kingston, Jamaica

Thanks for the laugh. Very snarky.

There are only 2 industries which refer to their customers as "Users"; the computer industry and the drugs industry. This USB drive combines the 2

The Doherty Drive.......LOL

I'm sure young Peter will love the publicity, especially from such a fine establishment as Engadget.

Didn't know you'd heard of him over in the US of A though....?!?

Actually, I know a lot of doctors and nurses that are interested in this. See, there are non-crack related uses.
