Break out the magnifying glass. I’m having the best time right now groovin’ to the Shelter house mix of Jill Scott’s “Hate on Me” right now, but before I get carried away, know this: Entertainment Weekly is giving away the “world’s smallest” USB drive in its September 21 issue. At 128MB, it’s not likely to get us tech heads riled up (what does anymore?), and there’s a good chance it’ll only arrive in a select number of subscribers’ mailboxes, but man this Jill Scott mix is good. Hate on me…
The little drive is part of some sort of joint CBS-Cadillac enterprise. I do wonder exactly what percentage of tech geeks read Entertainment Weekly, let alone subscribe.

I subscribe to EW, and have for years. A lot of geeks probably think magazines printed on dead trees are very last century or have moved “beyond TV” (whatever that means), but it does a good job of reviewing books, movies, TV and DVD. Rotten Tomatoes could fill the void on the movie front, but there aren’t really good alternatives for the rest that fit somewhere between “ooh, look a a shiny object” pop adoration and the pompous pretension that prevails on the net. Plus, Stephen King’s and Dalton Ross’ columns rock.
I subscribe to EW as well (and also have for years) – it is a great place to catch up on all things pop culture and is nice to have sitting beside the can along with Wired and Esquire. I did not see this in my new issue but will have to double check when I get home and see if I was one who got the flash drive.
