DDR memory for your Valentine
Printing seasonal messages into computer components is becoming something of a fad in Japan. Latest to hit the shops are the Valentine Day KISS, a 512MB DIMM stamped with its name and a heart logo, and the Sweet Memory Premium Edition, which comes in a cute chocolate-style box (though the chip itself is standard). We should note that this doesn't indicate a burgeoning geek-girl population, though -- on Valentine's day in Japan it's the guys who get the presents, while the girls have to wait until White Day a month later.
[Update] As an astute reader notes, we forgot to include a link. The above comes via Akiba PC Hotline. Also, Pasocon Shop Ark (Japanese site) is selling at least the Valentine Day KISS online (scroll down the page to find it), though picking up the Sweet Memory may require schlepping down to Akihabara and keeping an eye out.
