    LOL!! Ken actually sent this over to me before.

    Definitely a fake. As Max_87 pointed out, it's actually a D-Link USB WiFi enclosure.

    If you look closely, the USB connector of the cut cable isn't even properly mounted. If you just press on the USB connector, it will "retreat" into the case, just like a tortoise's head would. :haha: :haha:

    Real lousy piece of fakery, IMHO... No one will fall for it.

    Besides, real pendrives do not cost much to make these days. Do they really want to risk raising the irk of the Chinese police? :mrgreen:

    AFAIK, the Chinese police are very strict about such stuff. If a foreigner gets ripped off, the offender gets a real stiff punishment.

    oh..China ppl are really creative. I even heard that they blow popcorn out in the street! Popcorn... done with bombs.. think about tht! Think twice before u eat anything in China!

    It came out in the chinese press here once, the base of the steamboat in china, they will process it in 5 steps before they serve another table.

    1st filter: the big leftover food in soup
    2st filter: tissue paper in soup
    3rd filter: ciggy butt they dump in soup
    4th filter: the ciggy ash in soup
    5th filter: anything tiny leftover in soup

    TA DAH! New base again to serve! :clap:

    Hmm.. Actually it's prevalent in India as well.

    Many babies became malnourished because of fake milk powder. Heck, even the "fresh milk" is diluted! :haha: :haha:
