The �gEmpty Memory�h flash drive looks like it�fs saving your data in thin air
We've seen a lot of cool flash drives, from a $3,000 Victorinox Swiss Army drive to a pair of classy thumb drive cufflinks. But British company Logical Art is giving the storage genre a decidedly artistic spin with its new Empty Memory flash drive.
Empty Memory definitely favors form over function, as the drive only holds a total of 4GB of data. But it packs all that data into an incredibly small space, leaving the bulk of the drive as an artsy void. It's a statement about Moore's Law and how much these portable data units have shrunk over the years. Or maybe it's not �\ we're much better versed on tech than modern art.
The drives come in two different designs, one called Transparency and another called Structure. Empty Memory sells for ��48-60 �\ about $75-94. That's somewhat pricey for their size, but hey, good art never comes cheap.

That is a trip, man. I had to make sure I was sober when I saw that photograph.

Hungry for newer, cheaper tech? Good thing the Raspberry Pi is finally here.
The credit card-sized, Linux-based computer was served up for just $35 on February 29, through distributors Premier Farnell and RS Components.
Within its tiny, naked-circuit body, the Raspoberry Pi offers a 700MHz ARM processor, 256MB RAM, HDMI and RCA outputs, and much more (according to a press release posted by Engadget) allowing pretty much the same experience you would get from a full-sized desktop computer.
An even cheaper $25 Model A will soon follow the Model B currently on sale but will not include the Ethernet or the two USB ports that the Model B features.
LG unveils flexible plastic e-paper display, aims for European launch next month
LG has made no secret of its fondness for flexible e-paper, but those dreams became a reality today, with the announcement of a six-inch display that promises to "revolutionize the e-book market." The malleable plastic display sports a resolution of 1024 x 768 and can bend at an angle of up to 40 degrees. At just 0.7 millimeters thick, it's about one-third thinner than similarly-specced glass displays, and weighs in at 14 grams -- about half the weight of its glassy competition. LG also claims that the display is super durable, as evidenced by a series of successful drop tests from a height of 1.5 meters. The plan going forward is to supply the display to ODMs in China, in the hopes of bringing final products to Europe by "the beginning of next month."

With a mini-ITX mainboard, Intel Core i7-2600K CPU and 8GB of RAM, this walker might actually have enough brains to avoid a harpoon and tow cable, and with elaborate watercooling the Hasbro plastic shouldn't get scorched either. The icing on the imperial cake is weapons and interior that light up with the touch of a remote.
