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.
Than AIG shall cancel the order.......
The Corsair Voyager is flawed in so many parts. The 32GB to 64GB versions transferring speed is so much slower than the 16GB version. The worst part is the cap because it can easily be loosen and falls out. By the way, it's not water-proof even though the outer layer is made with ploy.
It's Then instead of Than
How do you know whar to use one and whar to use the other?
That is the real problem with AIG
I suppose if they really order this, they will make it two for every computer,
but then they now have to cancel all "non-essential"orders, like backup harddrives right?
hi, Earth called, wants its oxygen back.
If these backup software writers would hook into Windows properly, they could set up a backup script to activate as an Auto-Play if the user wanted it to - that would be pretty stupid, but I'm sure the newbie users would dig it (and then get unwittingly owned by a modified USB Switchblade - Hak5 FTW).
It's called U3, but any sensible person has autorun disabled.
And the non-sensible ones soon do after meeting with the U3 experience.
Come to think of it, all things considered is a button to replace autorun worth more than $5.
April Fool!
No. This is very, very real.
srsly?
"... to transform any USB flash drive ..."
I'm sorry, shouldn't you be concerned about the sales of your own USB sticks? Just put that damn button on the stick itself!
This has to be April Fools, they cant be serious
Well consider Seagate 2.5" externals, they too have an unnecessary "middle man" (i.e. dock) too - so do iPods.
wow.. thats cool.
I would actually say that it makes sense. I wouldn't use it and so would most of the people on this forum, but for the less teck savvy people out there this is an easy way for them to back up there data.
Quite frankly, I think you're all looking at this the wrong way. With that form factor and the one button, this can totally double as a joystick for that Atari 2600 emulator you have running there.
an automatic data backup machine?..
and what's "transform" mean...
a USB drive can be a Transformer...
I never think about it...
why does that look like a phallus on a flat round stone?
There are people who would consider it useful.
Earlier this month? Today's the first day of a new month! :-)
"but anything over $5 or so could be classified as highway robbery."
So, how much is NovaBACKUP 10 worth, in your opinion? $3?
Or Apple Time Capsule.
Well since im a proud owner of a corsair voyager flash drive.. i can vouch on the usefulness of this.. while trying to load an OS from the usb on my carputer, its a tight fit...even on the normal computer..
This is from the company that puts computer power supplies in these velveteen drawstring bags...in the box...
So... it's a one-port USB hub?
With a button
Well, since I own one of the voyagers I can assure you that the rubber coating makes it so fat that you can't plug it into a USB port without removing the usb device next to it.
Thus, this is apparently Corsair's idea of how to fix this problem, lol.
