#4 - Victorinox SwissMemory 2GB - AKA The Ultimate Nerd Survival Tool
Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. - Harry Lime (Orson Welles) in The Third Man
...and the Swiss Army Knife. Ever since I was a little fucker running around blowing things up with M-80's and thinking I could actually build napalm from the Anarchist Cookbook recipe I have been in love with Swiss Army Knives. It took me over a decade to finally bring a Swiss Champ (AKA little knife with lots o' tools) home and in over 5 years only so much as use the bottle opener on a regular basis. However, the uselessness of 90% of the tools doesn't make these things any less cool to gadget fags such as myself.
This little fucker is the perfect keychain for any self respecting nerd. It's not overwhelmingly big so my keys still fit in my pocket. It's kind of sexy looking. But most importantly it has a little knife, a nail file (that will only be used as a screwdriver), some scissors, a pen, a pretty good fucking flashlight, and a 2 GB flash drive. Sure the price is kinda steep, but cool shit is worth spending extra cash on. Besides, you don't look quite as retarded when your flash drive looks like a knife and isn't dangling around your neck on a silly fucking string. Now those people are fucking nerds.
