Today, more and more gadgets are making its way to the tech world and some of these gadgets are getting weirder than ever. Now, USB flash drive is not just for storing your files, music, pictures and videos, it can also speak.

eNECESSITIES USB sound flash drive is very interesting because it has a speaker built at the end of the flash drive. It can be used for many things. Perfect for those people who are afraid to say their feelings to someone they like personally. They can just leave a sound message and give it to the person they like. This gadget is also good for those people who often forgot something. They can record things they want to remember and listen to it for a reminder. It’s like USB flash drive and speaker in one.

This new gadget is for sale now but the bad news is, this gadget is has a minimal order of at least 250 devices. So, if you want to buy this, must order 250 devices that are more oriented to business users.

If this gadget got invented, maybe we’ll have more gadgets like this in the future that will help promoting a business for business users and change the way of communication.

Humanscale Computer Case Holder


If you watch 24, Burn Notice, or House you will have seen some of the Humanscale ergonomic products, well here’s one more. It keeps your computer case of the floor, giving you more room to vacuum, stack filing cabinets, and most importantly, it will stop you kicking your computer. Although there is a draw back. It is not compatible with most full tower cases, if you have a midi tower (most normal computer towers) then you are fine. But for anyone using a big case, be sure to check the size of that case, as this holder wont fit a thermaltake amour or any of the coolermaster stacker series of cases. This holder only only supports cases from 3-10 inches wide, and 12-20 inches high.


It also seems to be fairly easy to install and use, with no reports of screeching when the case is removed from the holder, of scratch marks on the metal. To install it is recommended that you drill the holes for the screws first, this will mount the bracket. Once you put together the actual holder, you can put slot it into place, and slide your computer into its place. And away you go.


It doesn’t seem to bad for $90, they look reliable and are good enough to be on television. Great unless you have a big case, those of you that have got a big computer, you will have to wait until they release a holder for the full tower cases.

Sony develops sweet little bio battery


TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony has developed an environmentally-friendly prototype battery that runs on sugars and that can generate enough electricity to power a music player and a pair of speakers, the Japanese company said.

The bio battery's casing is made of a vegetable-based plastic. It measures 3.9 cm (1.5 inch) along each edge and works by pouring sugar solution into the unit, where enzymes break it down to generate electricity. Test cells had an output of 50 milliwatts, Sony said.

"Sugar is a naturally occurring energy source produced by plants through photosynthesis," Sony said in a statement.

"It is therefore regenerative, and can be found in most areas of the earth, underlining the potential for sugar-based batteries as an ecologically-friendly energy device of the future."

The company said it aims to produce the batteries for commercial use, without specifying when.

Sony was hit last year by the recall of millions of laptop batteries over fears they could catch fire.
