Touch Sensitive Hard Drives?
I like the new LaCie Starck drives. I look at its surface and all I want is to dunk carrot cake into all that melty chrome and eat it. It's hard to find storage that you actually want to lick.
The looks are great—with a chrome blob encased in a 3mm sharp-angled box of resistant aluminum casing—but it also has some really cool features. One of them is the LED indicator in the shape of Starck's sign that is projected onto the table. The other, which is my favorite, is that the surface is touch sensitive, so you can assign actions to different kinds of touch. Example: A short tap will trigger the launch of an application, while a long caress can initiate an automatic backup.
