Yes, what you're looking at are two octopi kissing, so what's the relevance to technology, you might ask?
Each octopus is actually a USB drive, available in capacities up to 16GB. Magnets in the pink/blue octopi attract one another and, well, stick together, and we reckon it's a great idea for getting people to buy USB stick 'couples'.
Costing around 20 per cent more than a generic stick, you feel warm and fuzzy when holding the octopi - and no, it's not incontinence setting in.
On a more technological note, ADATA announced today that it will have a 512GB SSD 2.5in drive in its arsenal, boasting read/write speeds of 230MB/s and 160MB/s, respectively.
