When we buy a new USB flash drive, we should get a prize. You know, like in a cereal box or Cracker Jacks. When we buy a new drive, we should get a game. Patriot has announced that its Xporter USB flash drive now comes bundled with the zero gravity first-person shooter, Shattered Horizon game.

This bundle will come with a Steam download code that allows users to download and install the game. You can Choose from 8GB and 16GB USB flash drives right now, though future Patriot products will also include a copy of the Shattered Horizon game.

Having a webcam is great. It allows you to do many things. But what if hackers get into your system, or your school starts spying on you?

Gsou of China offers this USB webcam with a low tech anti-peep feature: a robotic arm that will cover the camera lens automatically once you’re done with your video session. If you get an incoming Skype or MSN video call, both hands will be lowered. There’s also a manual override that lets you uncover the lens manually.

Most cameras come in boring black. So if you want to stand out from the crowd, what do you do? One way is to go for a limited edition like this one. Samsung is now offering a white NX10 in a limited edition model.

You’ll get it in white, with a 30mm lens and leather case. If this onE is for you, it will launch on May 7th in Korea, the Netherlands, China, Taiwan and the US.

Verizon’s Push-to-Talk service has been active for weeks now, and many Tour users haven’t added the service, so Verizon has sent out emails to Tour users letting them know they can get the service free for life. The email says that users just need to add the PTT software and service to their device before June 30th and they will get to keep it free for the life of the contract.

I guess PTT isn’t going over as well as they thought. If you’re a Verizon Tour user you should have an email in your inbox soon, but if not, go download the software and get going. It’s free.

With Padracer your gaming console is an iPad as a display and iPhones as controllers. How cool is that? Though if you don’t already own these things, it could get a bit expensive for you. Basically the iPad is the race track and the iPhones are turned into controllers once connected via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

All you have to do is steer your race cars by turning an iPhone like a steering wheel. The game is just five bucks at the iTunes store.

James Cameron is the king of 3D thanks to Avatar. Avatar has made so much money around the world that Cameron should be able to buy himself an Oscar. Cameron is now working with NASA on a 3D camera design.

NASA had reportedly decided not to include a 3D camera on the Mars Curiosity rover due to budget concerns. Cameron then talked NASA into including the 3D camera on the rover though.

I think there were a lot of us out there that knew the end was near for Lala when Apple announced that it had purchased the company. Sure, some of the tech behind Lala might live on inside iTunes or other Apple offerings, but the Lala service would undoubtedly die.

Apple has now announced that it will be killing Lala on May 31. Current users of the service can continue to use Lala until that day and no new users are being accepted.

There are a number of electric bikes and motorcycles on the market today. The good thing about these devices is that they are green and quiet. There are lots of folks that like to commute on electric bikes rather than drive cars.

VW is a major car brand that has not been tied to electric bikes before. The firm unveiled a new electric bike called the bik.e at the Auto China 2010 show. The bike is designed to fold up and fit into the spare tire area of a car.

The HP Slate isn’t the only future gadget we have been hearing a lot about that was killed off this week. Microsoft has terminated the slick dual screen Courier tablet project.

The odd thing is that we had been hearing that the Courier would be coming to market in 2011. I think that perhaps some of the companies are figuring out that an expensive device that is only a netbook minus a keyboard simply won’t sell.

It always strange to me when a company shows off a product, puts it at the forefront of keynote speeches, and talks a thing to death only to kill it off. Hop has had a busy week with the purchase of Palm and now we hear the Slate is dead.

You recall the Slate, Ballmer held it on stage back at CES and we have seen the device turn up on video as well. HP has officially killed off the project according to TechCrunch. This may not be bad news though.

Here’s a fun iPad decal to spice up your new iPad. The James Bond 007 iPad decal. Not that Bond would actually use an iPad for anything stealthy, it’s just too big. But if you are a Bond fan, it’s the perfect way to decorate your device.

This one was made as a special order by Etsy seller Decalville for one of his customers. If you ask nicely maybe he’ll make one for you too for $7.00 each. Apparently Pierce Brosnan is the only Bond you can get.

Palm has fallen quite a long way since those heady days before the Palm Pre was actually offered. HP has now bought Palm for $1.2 Billion. That’s about $5.70 per share of Palm stock. This will help HP get some firm footing into the mobile segment, with Palm’s entire patent history at their disposal. Can we expect some HP phones as soon as within the next two years?

The deal will be official by July 31 2010 and the Current CEO of Palm, Jon Rubinstein might be staying.
