The earthy cousin of the wooden memory sticks the Mass Storage Stone is an external hard drive inspired by nature. While it's still a concept, Michael Leung hopes to create a portable 4 GB hard drive that fits into your pocket, and has similar qualities to a stone - textured and slightly cold to touch. Do you like the natural feel and idea or do you think a stone looks preposterous next to a computer? I happen to think the metaphor of things being stored in a stone is fantastically geek chic - but that might be the geologist in me.
Our own calamari spotted this one on Swiss Miss!
I don't understand this craze to make data storage drives into as many obscure objects as possible! Just give me a plastic colored stick, please!
