At the high end of invertebrate intelligence is the almighty Cephalopods, but maybe an additional 512mb of free memory would help. Makes me want to learn Japanese over the weekend so I can decipher this page and order one.

Apparently the blue LED is a key feature, as evidenced by the increasing text size in the middle of the page. 6000 yen for a 512 MB stick is wayyy steep for flash memory though...

I take it that something on the tag above says it is 6000 yen? So that's about $50.
I would love to see the Japanese commercial for this thing.

Yes! It's Linux compatible.

Of course the blue LED is a key feature! Not every squid has bioluminescent bacteria in its head!

Actually the signs in the price field simply mean "current price" (時価, jika), but they somewhat resemble the multi-stroke variant of "600" (陸佰).
