File storage has come a long way from the days when you had to plug a cord into an external hard drive and lug it around with you. Now USB drives are so small you could mistake them for a paper clip. In fact that is the idea behind Verbatim’s Clip it USB drive. It is uber tiny, but it still holds 4 GB of storage in what amounts to a fun candy shell.

Ah, the mouse. For now it is the best way to interact with your laptop or desktop computer. Getting a good mouse you can trust when on the go is important, whether you are making a big presentation or getting to level 85 in the World of Warcraft, and the Verbatim Nano Mouse is a good option. It is small enough to travel easily and slip into my purse, but big enough to keep from getting hand cramps during marathon sessions.

At a recent meeting with my colleagues, some of the guys were showing off USB drives that were barely larger than an iPhone SIM card. These things were tiny. My colleagues were impressed, I was not. Can something that size be safe from breaking? From being lost? From being eaten by my cat. Not likely, so give me the Verbatim Store ‘n’ Go USB Drive for Mac OS X any day.
