A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I love Lego's.
They aren't childish at all and can be more fun than die cast/ scale model building.
We use them in Physics 323 to program robotics sets and build complex machine demo's.
I have an old page here.

I hate to be the one to do this but the proper term is Lego Pieces. I just don't want you to get drawn and quartered, people take that crap seriously.
And as for the actual drives, I would totally want one but w/o LEGO branded onto each stud it just seems worthless to me.
I like this gadget but is kinda dangerous if u have a 5 year old niece that can put it in her mouth (since is sooo colorful)
I could understand 2... or 3, but she's still putting random things in her mouth at 5?
wouldn't that apply to any flash drive. there are many other colorful ones. Oh and you probably shouldn't have keys, change, pens, pencils, ect in you house either. Their about as dangerous
is their a mega-blocks version for the parents who want to ruin their childrens social life?
don't talk bad on Mega Blocks.
even though MB areobviously a cheaper ripoff of LEGO, MB makes more ambitious products such as aircraft carriers amd model fighters wherin LEGO is stuck perpetualy making Star Wars, Bionicles and ExoForce
(Exo Squad ripoffs)
Or Megablocks doesn't shell out for the mondo expensive licenses, so they need to get more creative, perhaps?
What always bothered me about megablocks is that their plastics' colors were always just a bit 'off' from Lego's. The saturation values were always lower, making them look faded, or somehow 'cheaper' by comparison.
Definitely cool. I want one in blue. Price please.
Sweet! They even connect to regular legos! I'm in for one (or two, or five).
they're quite small too, and don't seem to big vertically to block ports.
Zomg, screw the new MBP, im buying 2,000 of these and building the first lego-flash CASTLE!
hahaha g1
You, sir! I'll take one of your 2TB castles!
Good luck finding these after a kid decides they are real blocks and builds a castle.
lol i couldnt imagine handing that to my boss..
Nice, this'll go great with my soon-to-be lego pc. Vista Compatible. rawr
notice how it's not plugged into an airbook?
Ice burn.
This gives a whole new meaning to stackable memory.
wah wah (trombone)
hmm, now if they came in a package rather then one by one...
thats one thing that i miss from the days of the floppy, the ability to grab a box of 10...
sure, you can do that with a dvd-r or whatever, but those require special software to use more often then not...
What do you do with the cap? If the cap can not be stuck onto the body when removed, this whole concept is lame.
What would be a total pisser is, if you could stack the logos and that would compound your total storage space.
mmmmmmm...
Shame there's no way to connect them together, like real legos. Say, you buy 12 and connect them all together to get a 12GB flash drive. Hope you're listening, Solid Alliance!
are these compatible with regular Legos? this would be a GREAT way to hide data around your room :P
I assume by data you mean that large collection of images/videos/games (if you're into that thing) you want to keep away from your wife/mother/children.
lego - probably not the best way to keep it away from the children but its a good idea none the less.
These are actually Zip Zip Memory Bricks, from an Australian company
Solid Alliance is selling them in Japan.
Check it out.
