F1 Nuts Get A USB Key Of Their Very Own

Gizmodo AU

I don’t get motorsport. It’s loud, smelly, bad for the environment and repetitive. However, I know that there are a number of people out there who do get it, and would love to get one of these F1 car-shaped USB sticks.

They’re not in any way, shape or form endorsed by the governing body of F1 (whoever that might be – once again, I don’t really care), but they are kind of cute. They’re also USB 2.0 compliant, measure in at 6 x 2.7 x 0.7cm and weigh 72 grams.

Considering the vast arrange of shapes and sizes USB sticks come in, it’s only natural that someone, somewhere hit the market with a F1 shaped model. This 8GB stick will set you back $47.82 plus shipping from Sourcing Map.

80,000-Brick Lego Ferrari F1 Needs Giant Schumacher Minifig

I don’t know what can I say about this gigantic 80,000-brick Lego Ferrari model except that 1) it’s amazing, 2) it’s a blow up of the Ferrari F1 Racer 1:8 that I bought earlier this year in my trip to Lego’s Factory, and 3) it was unveiled in the Netherlands for a special Lego event that started yesterday. A close up and another simulated-Lego Ferrari car that can actually drive after the jump.

Multi-Computer F1 Racing Screensaver Wins Office Coolness Pole Position

newVideoPlayer("/racescreensaver_giz.flv", 494, 297,""); Intel Brazil has created what’s probably the best office screensaver in the history of office screensavers: a Formula 1 racing course that spans across multiple computers and monitors to offer one seamless view competition all across the office. Once you start them up, the Formula 1 car will go from one computer to the other, following a circuit that has the same topology as the distribution of computers in the office, going through curves, chicanes, and straight lines as needed. The good thing: you can download it yourself for your Mac or PC.

F1/Carbon Watch has Expensive Looks, Like Real Formula 1

Designer John Pszeniczny was trying to combine elements of Formula 1 racing with gems and crystals, and we think he’s done well with his F1/Carbon GMT watch. It’s even got a stopwatch and laptimer built in, and has the time in each of the cities on the F1 calendar. The red-lit display looks kinda mean, and the 18 identical embedded rubies sure are in the spirit of the huge cost of F1. The bracelet style would make it look like a high-tech tyre wrapped round your wrist— though we can’t help but wonder about chafing. Just a concept. [Yanko]
