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.

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!
