January 10, 2008: USB Hubbub
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.  * trash is used as a personal opinion and not a condemnation of geeks, nor condemnation/inference of abuse, of the free market system.

Do you think anyone buys this crap for themselves? I always assumed it was novelty gift stuff.

These two products speak for themselves: One blows, the other sucks. 'Nuff said.
