Somewhere on the planet, two friends are struggling to connect two computers.

"Where is the cable? You have the IP all wrong. Are you dumb, look at this subnetmask! These connectors are junk. Redo them! Again. It's still not working. Something is wrong. Type in this IP. What does it say?"

Do you think you can handle the pressure of connecting two computers in order to transfer some lousy files? Ok, we admit it, it sounds like a bad commercial for a wedding planning company, but in this case, the solution is not a company, but a simple device that makes the operation of connecting two computers a piece of cake.

We are talking about USB Data Transfer Device, from ThinkGeek, a simple, yet incredibly efficient gadget.

All you have to do is to connect one of the connectors to one computer and the other to the second, and you're already in transfer hyperspace. And if you think that because is USB, you have enough time to go shopping or to wash and dry your laundry, you're wrong, since the device is able to transfer files at 25MB per second (so that a 700 megabyte CD can be transferred in only 28 seconds).

The cable has a length of up to 1.2 meters and you also have a blue control led.

The USB Data Transfer Device costs only $50.
