USBs for everyone!

It seems that things seem be tending more and more towards personalized, individualized everything - do you like Batman? Have this Batman coffee mug, a Batman watch and some Batman underwear, a toothbrush, a pillow cover, maybe even a shirt or two. A licence plate and phone cover, so people will know you're cool and unique, before you've ever been introduced. No personalized laptop cover? WHO ARE YOU?

If your urge to identify yourself by your belongings happens to extend even to the smallest of objects, I present to you this list of fully functional USB sticks, from the gold-plated to the profane.

 At a meagre $3500 for this gold-plated, diamond studded stick, this
1 GB USB is simply a steal. I really hope it's easy to swap out the insides,
considering the speed at which technology is advancing, but I suppose if
you've got $3500 to blow on one of these you don't care too much anyway.
We all know what's going to be stored on this.
This will actually work with normal lego pieces, which is neat if you're
a spy with children.
The 'thumb' drive, har har. More than a little bit disturbing, but hey, it comes
with an in-built joke.
In case you prefer fidgeting with your data instead of using it, a transformer USB stick.
These will actually glow when you plug them in. Are you a Jedi, or a Sith?
A burger, you ask? What do burgers have to do with computer storage?
Absolutely nothing, I respond.

In case you're ever on Jeopardy, USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. Recently, the storage of these tiny devices have expanded exponentially, to the point where they can now hold over 1 TB of data. Perhaps soon human heads will come ready-equipped with USB 3.0 ports.
