Does Iomega’s eGo Drive Hold Vodka or Data?

Add as a preferred source on Google

Proving that nothing screams “luxury” quite like thinly masked alcoholism, Iomega rolled out its new leather-wrapped eGo drive on Thursday, which looks, well… like a flask. Although meant, as Iomega puts it, for “displaying panache in the boardroom,” a glimpse of this eGo in your laptop case without explanation might just have the execs you hope to impress dragging you to an AA meeting.

Sporting the unmistakable curved profile of everyone’s favorite covert drinking vessel, the eGo packs not vodka, but a 2.5-inch portable drive with 250GB of storage. It’s also powered solely by a USB 2.0 connection, so there’s no need to bring along a blocky power supply, and Iomega claims its DropGuard technology keeps the drive safe from falls up to 51 inches.

Headroom, a remote desktop app from MusicFlow, lets users control their Mac from Apple's new foldable phone, with an interface that adapts as the device opens, closes, and folds in half. Think of it as turning a pocket-sized phone into a miniature MacBook, minus the actual MacBook.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.
