Our feminist theory classes in college left us in the mindset that lady-tailored devices can probably do better than pink, but hey, if you're looking for something retractable with U3 and 8GB of storage, SanDisk just added this new $80 Cruzer Fleur to their lineup.
U3 is a selling point? im still trying to get it off my 2GB Cruzer. i cant stand the stupid thing. all its done for me is screw me over by making my USB drive incompatible with the school computers so i couldnt print my paper.
U3 can be *ahem* modified for more nefarious things, because it loads as both a CD drive (enabling the drive to autoplay some program on the drive) and the normal flash drive. Any good spyware suite will catch this but it's interesting nonetheless just for the fun of messing with it. Not very practical for this drive, but if you find a cheap 1GB U3 drive lying around, take some time to play with it.
Agreed....But wouldn't it need to be plugged into the computer for that to work? I don't know too many women who would so eagerly hump a computer...Insert blonde joke, or hipster Mac fangirl joke, here.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"

Good lord! It does double duty as a pregnancy test!
$80? I heard the PCB is made by Gucci
I got my wife a 4GB one for $28. No way I'd pay $80 for this one though.
Well, as a rule of thumb you get the cheaper one for your wife and the more expensive one for your girlfriend!
But it's pink and has flowers on it!? It's got to be worth 80 dollars! :p
"Wait, rule of thumb? In the early 1900s it was legal for men to beat their wives, as long as they used a stick no wider than their thumb."
"Well, can't do much damage with that then, can we? Perhaps it should have been a rule of wrist?"
Anyone, anyone identify that quote, eh? Shouldn't be too hard, just don't google it you techy-bastards.
@Jason:
I'll take Boondock Saints for $400, alex.
Wait but most people don't have computers in the kitchen??
contraire, mon frère
How about a cock-ring for the guys?
Were it really, really, really, really small, Yes.

Well at least its tasteful.
At least compared to all the jewel-encrusted, pink glitzy creations that have been appearing.
not digging the pick, blue maybe but never pink
They would sell many(many) more if it vibrated too....

I won't worry my pretty little head about buying your exorbitantly priced USB drive, SanDisk, even if it does come in a lovely shade of sexism.
This trend of pink gadgets needs to end.
Even the shape kinda looks like a, um... lady item. I'm a little grossed out.
I fail at feminism. I like it. x.x
I'd rather buy the Olinari Dog Tag USB.
Check it. http://olinari.com
