Like a burger and fries, Asus’ latest peripheral makes a (non-edible) combo meal out of two PC necessities: the touchpad and mouse. Asus says the VivoMouse is the world’s first such device. It features an inviting metallic body which lets you pinch-to-zoom and swipe the night away. Both Windows 7 and Windows 8 are supported. No price has been given just yet.
StormFly says “it’s like having a PC on your wrist,” but it’s also like having your OS there too. This subtle rubber wristband functions as a super-fast storage device with an Open Source Operating System that’s bootable in most modern PCs and Macs. That means when you’re visiting Uncle Ned, you won’t need to crawl through your email on his 1998 Compaq; just plug in StormFly and you’ll have your OS and critical data ready to go. It also comes with an automatic backup service. Speaking of backup service, how’s Ned’s IBS doing?
The floppy disk was a casualty of progress; a piece of tech that couldn’t withstand the tick-tock, if you will. But in table form? It is back with a vengeance.

Do catfights turn you on? It seems like Apple’s Siri could be due for a brawl with Ubi, a new always-on computer that plugs into an outlet and waits to hear your voice (like all females should). Ask it for anything you’d ask of the Internet and it’ll answer you back. Make a call, control the temperature in your home, or heck, just consider it your new kinky best friend.
