- So... What's next guys

- Iono; what do you want to do?

- Let's make a 256GB Thumb Drive!

- We can't do that, it won't fit in a case.

- We will just stack two 128GB and double the case size!

- But it will be SO ugly that no one would want it. And it would cost almost $1000 by the time we turn it; why would we do all of that?

- ...Because we can!


So you see boys and girls. Sometimes; we spend all our time trying to be on the bleeding edge of technology that we loose ALL sight of practicality. So the moral of the story is; don't do stupid things.]]>Jul 20th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/kingston-unveils-256gb-thumb-drive-for-well-heeled-memory-fiends/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/kingston-unveils-256gb-thumb-drive-for-well-heeled-memory-fiends/
