Outré USB Gadgets
PreacherTom writes, "We've all connected a myriad of useful things to USB ports: flash drives, printers, webcams. How about a vacuum cleaner? Pair of heated gloves? Anti-cubicle missile system? Joseph Pisani offers a listing of some of the most creative USB-controlled gadgets available, and includes a slide show of the most popular."
I knew there was a reason Intel invested $6 bln in R&D last year: so I'd have plenty of power left over to run my USB nose hair trimmer.
Well, there is always the iBrator, the most, uh, "friendly" of USB devices.

That's what you get for being a Windows Fan-boy.
I know, I know: {groan}
The Realdoll was the best, at least until the time I left it plugged in while playing Quake.
What they need now is a cubicle missile defense system. Let the cubicle arms war start!
The Linux USB fan drivers are still in beta I'm sure
I am so disappointed. I thought the vacuum cleaner would connect via the usb to a plan of the house and do the vacuuming for me.
I can't read the words, but the pictures speak for themselves
in your haste to notify the GP of the fact that the GGP was a joke, you failed to realise that he was simply replying to the joke with a joke of his own
oh sorry, I forgot this is slashdot... I mean:
<-- joke
o
-+- <-- you

being vague is almost as cool as doing that other thing...
Of course, Linux doesn't need fans when it has rabid zealots.
Go on, mod me down, but you know it's true.
I want a USB Bayonet.
hahaha, did you mean, through Windows (tm) or through windows (is it open or did someone polish the glass really well?)
Commodore64_love: I don't comprehend people who're so frightened of death that they'll bankrupt themselves to stay alive
I'm amazed that the USB Fondu pot didn't make the list!
I mean, sure, there was a reference to the fictional iBrator, but this is real.
