<i>Corny Drive</i>

A employee displays US firm ATP's Earthdrive 4 GB USB flashdrive next to an ear of corn at the world's biggest high-tech fair, the CeBIT, in Hanover March 4. The casing of the drive is made of bio-recycled plastic manufactured from corn. Some 4,300 firms from 69 countries will display the latest in information and communications technology, a quarter fewer than last year due to the global economic slump, organisers said. The fair is running until March 8.Photo: AFP
