...and everyone single one of them have purchased this:

What you are looking at is a gold-plated USB memory stick with 5 diamonds embedded in the casing. Someone was just looking for the answer of what you get the guy that has everything...and more money than brains. The units reportedly cost in excess of £2000!! In USD, that is approximately $3,475.

You can read the full story at CNet News

Pricing varies depending whether the customer needs the full 18 carats of gold, or if they opt for the sparkly version. A 1GB version with 14-carat gold coating and five diamonds costs in excess of 2,000 pounds.

White Lake, the company behind the device, said it has taken orders for 24 units in the last week, although it wasn't able to say who they were from. White Lake is part of Specs Distribution of the Netherlands, which manufacturers branded USB, or universal serial bus, sticks for corporate customers.

This is too funny. When I worked repairing PCs, we lost so many flash drives. I'd love to find a $3400 flash drive in some $300 Dell PC. What a waste of money!
