Brad Linder — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 19:25:33 +0000

As Black Friday approaches, we're seeing a number of retailers starting to offer big deals a little early. You can order most Android, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone handsets from Amazon for just one penny this week when you sign up for a new service plan with Spring, Verizon, or AT&T. A number of stores are also already offering the BlackBerry...

Brad Linder — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 18:51:41 +0000

For the last 15 years or so, Microsoft Windows has been coming on CDs or DVDs. But it's increasingly common to find computers that don't have disc drives. So how do you install Windows on those computers? Microsoft offers a free USB/DVD tool which you can use to easily create a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 7 or Windows...

You can run Windows 8 from a USB flash drive

Brad Linder — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:00:51 +0000

We've already looked at how you can use a USB flash drive to install Windows 8. All you need is an 8GB or larger flash drive, the Windows 8 disc image, and the Windows 7 USB/DVD tool. But there's also a new feature in Windows 8 that lets you run the operating system from a USB flash drive. It's called Windows To...

So you want to take Windows 8 for a spin on a computer that doesn't have a disc drive? Not a problem. While Microsoft has only released a disc image of Windows 8 Developer Preview, you can use the Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to install Windows 8 without a disc drive. I touched on this yesterday when I discussed installing...

Isostick is a USB flash drive your computer thinks is an optical drive

Lee — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 16:15:27 +0000

At first blush, the idea of the Isostick might not seem that amazing. In simplest terms, it's a USB flash drive that your computer detects as an optical drive. But who needs something like that? Nowadays, just about every computer on the market can boot to a USB device, be it a flash drive or an external hard drive. This...

You’ll be able to install Windows 8 “Portable Workspace” on a USB flash drive

Brad Linder — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:30:47 +0000

People have been figuring out ways to run operating systems from portable USB flash drives for pretty much as they've been available. But while installing a Linux distribution on a USB key is often pretty simple, Windows is another story. Sure, you can run Windows from a flash drive, but it's kind of a pain. It looks like that could...

Brad Linder — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 23:46:46 +0000

For this week's I-have-too-many-promotional-USB-flash-drives giveway, I've rounded up a couple of the funny-shaped flash drives I picked up at CES this year, as well as one that I actually grabbed a few years ago. The SanDisk drive is a 4GB USB flash drive with a kind of cheap plastic feel to it. The drive on the right which is shaped...

4GB USB flash drive giveaway

Brad Linder — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 19:58:21 +0000

At CES last week I picked up a few USB flash drives, not because I was looking for swag, but because companies have a tendency to give out press kits on flash drives these days. What's more, it's not unusual to find 20MB of documents hanging out on a 4GB flash drive. Score. Anyway, I don't actually need all of...

Quattro Giga USB notebook is a USB flash drive and a notebook… of sorts

Long before we started calling portable computers notebooks you know what else got use that word? Actual notebooks. You know, the kind that feature paper and some sort of binding. But I have to admit, when I first saw a picture of the Quattro Giga USB Notebook, it took me a moment to figure out where the computer was hiding......

Infinitec launches USB drive with “infinite” storage space

Brad Linder — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 18:29:17 +0000

Remember when flash storage meant 16MB of memory for storing, I don't know, maybe 4 songs that you could play on an MP3 player? Yeah, those were the days. Today you can find USB flash drives with up to 256GB of storage space. But Infinitec doesn't think that's enough, and the company is offering a USB device that promises infinite...

Sandisk launches Cruzer Blade itty bitty USB flash drive

Brad Linder — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:41:14 +0000

USB Flash drives are continuing to shrink. Pretty soon you won't be able to spot a drive once it's plugged into your computer -- which is probably just going to make drives that much easier to misplace when you're not using them. But until we get to that point, we'll have to settle for the new SanDisk Cruzer Blade, which...
