“Will you marry me?” is one question that any woman loves to hear. What happens if she is of the geeky variety - will a simple, romantic dinner at the local Italian restaurant do? I think not, and concepts like this USB Flash Drive Swarovski Crystal Engagement Ring are certainly welcome. Granted, it isn’t a diamond on top, but hey - it is the thought that counts, isn’t it? This handy USB flash drive allows one to lug around pictures of each other, in addition to lovey dovey poems and odes. Whenever both rings are joined, data can be transferred from one to the other. No idea on when this will materialize though.

Here’s more bling than you can handle when it comes to tech stuff - the Adamant USB flash drive from the Golden Store is available in limited quantities, featuring a trio of diamonds at 0.15 carats each as well as Lapis Lazuli gemstone deposits. Each Adamant comes in a yellow gold solid body with silk ribbon carbines closure. Heck, even the box in which it ships in boasts a lacquer finish with one studded diamond. The Adamant doesn’t skimp on storage (thankfully) as it can hold up to 16GB of data, tipping the scales at 54 grams. There are only 50 of these puppies available worldwide, which explains the $5,650 price tag for each.Source: Born

While the MacBook Air is a relatively new release, it has already been given the bling treatment thanks to Bling My Thing. Here we have the Golden Age creation that was unveiled at CeBIT 2008, featuring a MacBook Air decked out in a whopping 12,000 Swarovski crystals, and these crystals look more shiny than normal due to the fact that a coat of 24k gold has been applied right under each crystal. It takes approximately one week of man hours to construct each individual Golden Age, since every crystal is lovingly hand-applied, leading up to the ultimate masterpiece. Only 20 of such MacBook Airs exist, and one of them is already available for sale at Selfridges, Oxford Street come March 18th. The price to pay? A wallet bleeding £20,000. I don’t think you would want to take the chance to change the battery on this…

SanDisk aims to hit a chord with the female segment of the market with its new Cruzer Fleur line of USB flash drives. This pink color USB flash drive fits perfectly as a necklace accessory, and there won’t be any worries about losing the protective cap since the USB connector itself is retractable. If you have a penchant for flowery motifs and the color pink, then this 8GB USB flash drive will definitely be a choice candidate at $80 a pop. Of course, for those who do not have that kind of extra money to splurge on can always settle for the smaller capacity 2GB and 4GB models.

Zippos are highly sought after lighters as they boast the ability to keep a flame alive no matter how strong the wind around is blowing. Well, the company has kept up to tradition with a new Zippo lighter known as Zippo BLU - this lighter trades in the old fuel for hot-burning butane based flame, resulting in a blue flame (if you’ve studied science, you’d know that blue colored flame burns much hotter than those orange tongues of death). In addition to being hotter to light up your cancer sticks, it also stands straight even in the wind. Just in case your friends can’t tell the difference between an standard Zippo and the BLU version, this model comes with an updated external design while maintaining a one-hand operation, the trademark flint-wheel ignition system, and lifetime warranty for over $30 a pop.
