The Uno: A Motorized Street legal UniCycle

First to recommend

Description

It has zero emissions. A simple on off button and looks totally rad. Designed by an 18 year old, future MIT student from Ontario, it received the inventor's award from popular science. Still looking for investors, Ben Gulak's green transportation is based on similar technology as the segway but hopes to have a top speed of 40mph. I want one!

Maria USB Stick 512 MB (with beating heart)

Description

Maria USB Stick 512 MB

Is there anyone who hasn’t sometimes wished for holy backup to protect their most precious data? It’s finally available in the form of the Maria USB!

She’s appeared in modern guise to secure and safely store what is most important and precious to us, offering heavenly support next to the computer; especially for those situations where prayer is the only solution.

Standing dignified on her socket, enshrined in Plexiglas, when work calls she frees herself of her surroundings. Connected with the computer she comes to life, her red LED heard starts to beat – in passive state slowly, quicker whilst connecting or saving data. On her halo is engraved the prayer – “Oh Maria, keep my data safe!”

designed by Luis Eslava

Technical specifications:
USB 2.0, supported system software: Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista, Mac OSX
