    Ok, you've really gone and put us in a twist this time Philips. The he-man editors of Engadget haven't exactly been wooed by Philips' lineup of Active Crystals USB drives slathered in Swarovski excess. Then again, we're not their target audience. Somehow though, these new 2GB Happy Laura and Naughty Raymond USB drive robots make us want to titter coyly with demure fingertips pressed lightly to our pouty mouths. But for €150 (about $223), we won't. Read -- Naughty Raymond Read -- Happy Laura

    Oh ho, it looks like Philips' out of character endeavor with Swarovski to add their own special brand of bling to USB keys and in-ear headphones must have really taken off. Apparently enough Active Crystals units are currently gracing handbags and murses everywhere to warrant an update to the line, which now features -- wait for it -- color. For the low, low price of $99 you'll be able to take home a stunning pair of cans in luxurious "Space Violet." And if you're dead set on shelling out $179 to bedazzle your or your loved one's thumb drive in violet or black, you'll be in luck come Valentine's Day (awww, innit sweet?).%Gallery-12791%

Available in August, the latest crystal-laden kit takes "technology to a fashionable new level for women." Perfect for little girls who grew up in a generation of Hello Kitty body fat meters and breath testers. Now go check the prices after the break sweetie. Better yet, have your oily man-servant do it, that's why you pay him.%Gallery-3909%
