It’s not often that we cover the remarkably extravagant, but this one was just too absurd to pass up. The MNEMOSYNE USB key, which was crafted by SolidAlliance, holds just 16GB of data and does absolutely nothing that any other USB flash drive does. The difference? Design and price. You see, this meticulously engineered device is probably the most beautiful, if not outrageous flash drive known to man. It’s built in Milan, Italy — widely known as a design capital of the world — and is constructed of 100% aluminum.

While at first glance it sure looks like an iPhone, when running it sure isn’t Apple-like: sluggish, clunky, and with an Apple logo on the back, a counterfeit rather than a clone. Even the box looks pretty iPhone-ish.

A four-studio bidding war has ended and Universal Pictures has won the film rights to the classic Atari video game “Asteroids.” Asteroids was originally released as an arcade game in 1979. In the game, players control a triangular spaceship as they attempt to shoot and destroy masses of rock and an occasional flying saucer while avoiding running into either obstruction.Unlike today’s games, Asteroids lacks a story line or fancy world-building mythology so Universal Pictures must create a plot from scratch.
