All with 4GB storage, several Mario Themes USB Drives have Mario, Shroom, Goomba, Koopa, and the Mario question mark (which is actually a USB extender). There used to be a Luigi too, but perhaps he got sold.

The USB sticks are all $55 and the extender is $19.

Google announced today a new, experimental idea aiming to reshape the future of communication on the web. It’s called Wave, and if you believe its Google, it’s “what email would look like if it were invented today.” Oh ya… and the whole thing is Open Source; the protocols will be available to anyone. Wave is about jazzing up real-time communication on the web.

What is a wave?

A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

According to Google Wave will allow:

• Real-time collaboration – Concurrency control technology lets all people on a wave edit rich media at the same time
• Natural language tools – Server-based models provide contextual suggestions and spelling correction
• Extensible – Embed waves in other sites or add live social gadgets, thanks to Google Wave APIs.

If you have an hour and twenty minutes to burn you can watch the entire thing explained by the folks at Google.

Designer Pedro Gomez calls it _technically_ a bracelet with watch and phone. When someone calls, the bracelet rings and/or vibrates. The entire face pops out as a wireless headset without sacrificing a screen since there’s a secondary LCD. Both LCDs are touch enabled.

I’ll admit that this thing LOOKS slick. I’m unsure how “cool” you’d be wearing a shiny silver bracelet (at least from a man’s perspective), but as a gadget fetish I think it fits the bill.

As you can see in the more detailed images below the bluetooth piece pops out showing more display options on the bracelet portion of the phone.

Check out the large blow out image and then the close up shots below.

Looks like MySpace is trying to play catch up to the MASSIVE lead Facebook has in this area by *finally* adding support for mobile browsing of their site and 3rd party apps/gadgets/widgets.

Just like the website version, MySpace Mobile also allows reading and send bulletins, accessing of MySpace message, approving friend requests, viewing of photos, searching for other users, posting comments, blogging, and checking out friends profiles. To access MySpace Mobile, users simply need to type m.myspace.com on their phone browsers to visit the website. Ho hum in my opinion. I don’t like looking at shitty MySpace “profiles” and their horrible layouts on my PC why would I want to subject my mobile phone to that?

Recently, MySpace started showing off its new gallery of third-party applications that users can now start adding to their profiles and to their MySpace home pages. So here they are again attempting to play catchup (feature-wise… MySpace is still the largest social site on the net) with Facebook. Most of the apps have issus, but to be fair this is still “beta” (which in the web 2.0 world means generally available but not expected to work).
