Good to know the recession has yet to bite everywhere. California memory specialist Super Talent is selling s limited edition of an 8GB 18-carat gold USB memory drive etched with your chosen text or graphics at a dealer price of $599. The one concession to the economic uncertainty on the company blurb is a warning that the price may fluctuate.

And would you entrust your precious data to an device that is asking to get stolen? But it does come with AES-256 encryption.
