Smelly, freezing, and funky unusual USB devices
Leo Chan - Wednesday, October 17th, 2007 | 11:20AM (PT)


Probably not what the USB-Implementers Forums had in mind for USB

Anybody who uses a computer probably has come across a situation where USB has been really terrific. Having a thumb-drive handy to transfer files is incredibly convenient. Or plugging a printer in and having it work immediately -- many thanks USB!

But the limits of USB-usefulness extends even beyond these daily mundane tasks.

How about, for example, keeping a beverage cold? Well have no fear because USB can again save the day with the USB Mini Fridge. That's right -- just plug it into your computer, and you add drink-cooling functionality to your workstation.

And what happens after you drink that drink? What happens then? Well you might be hungry, that's what. But don't worry -- USB can help you out again with the George Foreman USB iGrill. Perfect for making sandwiches!

But USB is even more useful, believe it or not.

So, say you cooked a Reuben sandwich in your USB iGrill. What are you going to do now? You are satiated by beverage and sandwich, but a funny smell of meat lingers in the air, disrupting your co-workers.

Can any USB devices help you out in this situation?

Yes, some strange ones can! Just possibly pick up a USB 'Scent Drive' from AROMA USB. These small and stylish fragrance dispensers will "make your laptop smell fresh as a flower." For smell on the go, just plug in these sticks'o'smell, and prepare yourself for some olfactory ecstasy.

The wonders of USB are limitless!

That is... mental.

But then again my USB slots produce enough power to totally fry my USB memory sticks, so I shouldn't be that suprised...

This is hilarias...Though I have a friend that would enjoy that usb grill.

Though, the office prancster would probably find A way to make that grill turn int oan evil thing. Like grilling a back of dogshit...overnight and calling in sick in the morning.
