$3,500 USB Key

Mention the words "gold-plated, diamond-encrusted" and the first thought that pops into many minds is "money". For $3,500 (starting), you could own one of these 14-carat gold, diamond-encrusted (5 polished diamonds) USB keys. They will come in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB capacities. White Lake will showcase this product at CeBIT on March 9th.
"We have sold huge amounts of personalized USB stick with logos over the past year. Our customers used them as a give-away. Some of them asked us for a more exclusive product line. This stick meets their demand, so we expect to sell quite a few of them."

"...This stick meets their demand, so we expect to sell quite a few of them.” Untill they realize 2gb stick costs 100$. *cue to play failed price is right song*

Make it 1GB and up only... if your going to pay over 3,000 for a usb stick, atleast make it hold something... owner - "Oh yeah man look at my gold plated, diamond encrusted usb stick" me - "Smile for me daddy, let me see yo grill! How much does it hold?" owner - "256MB :)" me - "Oh yes, 3000 dollar's for a 256MB usb stick... wtf man, you can't even hold a decent interacial video on it, why didn't you get a 1GB if your spending that much money... your pretty much buying a piece of jewlery, damn you look gay, and damn it feel's good to be gangster" owner - "fuck :("

For that money, and the size of the device, why not add a 5gb mechanical drive? Just don't drop it :) Who are they giving these things to as spiffs is my question! BMW 760's are V12s btw. At least in the US. And they make the basis of the Rolls-Royce Phantom engines, if BMW doesn't build them directly. I guess if you could afford these cars, what's a gold USB stick to you?

Umm...could just be me but unless it comes with a usb cable, (jewel encrusted or plain), it aint gonna fit in many USB ports I've seen. Apparently the company also sells chocolate fireguards and lighthouses for deserts.
