Posted on June 26, 2009 at 4:52 PM • 9 Comments To receive these entries once a month by e-mail, sign up for the Crypto-Gram Newsletter. Cute. Sure. But $95 for $15 worth of memory? That's a lot of cute premium. Posted by: Rich Wilson at June 26, 2009 5:40 PM Cute, but it would be better if they donated to squid research or something...like the WWF penguin Posted by: Davi Ottenheimer at June 26, 2009 7:15 PM A bit overpriced I think. The premium for "cute" is just too much! Let's see, an 8GB USB drive these days is under $20, so they are charging $75 for the fuzzy squid. I think they'd sell a lot more if they dropped the price to around $40 (or less). Posted by: spaceman spiff at June 26, 2009 10:03 PM I followed the link expecting a different type of squid (http://www.squid-cache.org/) running on a USB drive! Posted by: Martin Nash at June 27, 2009 12:01 PM As cute as my grannies knickers. Although have to admit am fan of squid thread. Posted by: Prometheus at June 28, 2009 4:46 PM I kinda liked the flying spaghetti and cthulu ornaments. The cost is these look to be all had may. You're paying for craft. Posted by: Bunny nonny a at June 29, 2009 5:58 AM Hand made not had may...next I'll be asking what's a henway Posted by: Bunny nonny a at June 29, 2009 5:59 AM No mention of water resistance...make certain the carpet monkeys don't use it as a bath toy.
