Normally, when new USB drive hits the market, it’s not cause for concern in the slightest. But I have a feeling that this particular one-gigabyte drive will not only turn heads like that $300,000 watch you wish you owned, but will also encourage females to hop on your genitalia and ride you like a ferris wheel.
Now look at that box. What would you guess is inside? Take a guess.
If you are so ashamed of having a USB flash drive that you feel the need to hide it in a Chap Stick tube, maybe you shouldn’t have on in the first place. While this mod is certainly a good idea if you happen to be an undercover CIA agent and you need to get some confidential information, you might wind up accidentally throwing this away if you carry it around all the time.
Just think, now that you have your AA battery USB drive and your Chap Stick USB drive, there’s nothing in the world that can stop you now! Nothing other than the capacity limitations of flash memory. –Nik Gomez

Converting videos it different formats sucks, period. It takes too long, and there is a possibility that it won’t come out right. It is, very simply put, a very unenjoyable process. If you are one of the people who likes to download their video and then immediately convert it to a different file format for whatever reason you have, the Instant Video To-Go will ease many of the pains of video conversion. While it only works for converting to H.264, it does speed up the time it takes by an amazing amount. You might be asking why is speeds up the process. It is able to make it go faster because it can act as a type of “dedicated hardware piece” meant for the sole purpose of converting your video. This is something that your desktop or laptop cannot do because there are so many other processes running in the background and the conversion is usually run just by software. The Instant Video To-Go mimics the way that the professional broadcast networks convert their videos as quickly as they do. It is about the size of you average USB flash drive and converts to H.264, which you can playback on your iPod (something many people want to do). So now for its actual speed. For a normal 100min 20GB video file, it would take about 5 hours to convert it to H.264 (.m4v) using just your software. With the Instant Video To-Go, this process is cut to only 20mins! With such an amazing difference in speed, how can you pass this $65 piece of technology up?! — Nik Gomez
