Last week, I have posted an article, and the feedback I received from you guys was that the pictures were not in focus ;)

Thing is that those pictures were unconfirmed. Recently, another set of pictures concerning the same Sony Ericsson “AI” phone leaked out the internet. Here they are:

I have to admit that the idea for this post came from this article by kNox. I knew that there’s a really wide range of devices that can use USB but I wanted to find out just how crazy can they get, so here goes:

I know you’re going to hate me because this article is going to be all pictures and no text but you HAVE to see for yourself in order to believe. First we’ll talk about USB drives for they are the most common Usb device that people tend to enhance.

Take for example this ‘Barbie’, all you have to do is pop her head off and there you go, instant USB drive.

It’s obvious most users share the same feeling about the resources/performance result of Vista - it needs improvement. In users’ opinion, the flawless components in the new OS are the gadgets ;)
