With roughly 70 days until the 2010 World Cup championships, A-data has a special flash drive for you to help cheer for your team. These 4GB World Cup commemorative flash drives are suited up and ready to play, in the team jersey of six of the top football (soccer) teams this year. Brazil, Germany, Italy, Korea, Mexico, and the United States are ready to score on your USB port. The six team jerseys house a small USB plug preloaded with some of the usual suspects in trial software.
Sadly, the USB drives don’t contain themed content or team photos. There’s also an appalling lack of connection between the cap and drive. The jersey/cap does have a lanyard which can be secured, but the drive/feet could easily run off on you. So pick one up and flash your national pride at everyone in your local area.

There’s quite a few of these USB drink coolers popping up lately, but this one is a little special. Unfortunately, it’s special in both the good and the bad way. This semiconductor and carbon fiber constructed cooler is able to wick away heat and rapidly drop the temperature of an enclosed liquid container. Recent reviews of similar USB beverage chillers have returned surprising results. It seems these too-good-to-be-true coolers actually do appreciably lower the temperature. The ad claims to drop your drink down to -10 C in 5 minutes. We aren’t sure if this is even possible without tapping into an alternate dimension. Perhaps it was measured somewhere in Antarctica, where -10 degrees is no big deal. Initial reviews do tend to confirm the company’s claims.
The other cool feature is the long cord and that this wraps around your drink which can be handled and imbibed without removing it from it’s cold wrap. The only real drawback is that this isn’t the most stylish PC accessory you’ve ever seen; it gives one the sense of a sweater on a dog. While dog clothes are accepted in some cultures, most places view them as just odd. If you can get over the eye-sore problem this could really make a nice impact on your workday drinking.
