What's with all the USB powered trash* for sale on the web? Everything from aquariums and cooling/heating drink coasters to Christmas trees and personal vibrators, all USB powered. I'm sure I haven't seen them all.
All this trash* is drawing power from, and creating heat inside, your computer. That's not good for the computer. Is it worth the geek oneupmanship, or amusement to shorten the computers life?
Oh, it's a company computer.... nevermind.
