USB being used for weird things?

I get the feeling this'll become a new trend or something, first I see a Cigar lighter, then a lit-up fake turd, and now Air darts?

Seems like people are finding for them USB ports for anything you can think of these days, be cool if a company found a way to incorporate such a unique device (like that air dart) in a game, kinda like ROB for the ol' NES for (a simple) example.

Wouldnt mind gettin me one of them actually, pair it up with my Eye-Toy, write a little motion-tracker program that fires the darts on any intruders.

It's Interesting!

I want to see the link of USB Cigar Lighter and lit-up fake
turd...

the closest to useful that I've seen so far was a mini desk lamp (more like a torch I expect with the small power supply in USB!), but still, WHY? This sit had a few...

I think there was a lit up santa...not a turd, sorry!

Yes my wife bought me a mug warmer - lol it keeps your tea/coffee/chocolate warm for you...

IPete2.

> Yes my wife bought me a mug warmer

Awesome :)

I have one of those, very handy for a laptop. It's also handy for the desktop when I'm copying from a book. It's amazing how rubbish lighting can be in a room.

USB Seat Warmer!

A USB Tea's Maid?

(and no, you pervets, I didn't miss an e off the end of teas)

I hear you can get USB 'toys for girls' (nudge, nudge - wink, wink) from, er... somewhere. :P

USB Hello Kitty that alerts you when you get an email.

If I ever meet the person responsible, I'll probably serve a minimum of 10 years.

As the words of this song go

USB My Little Ponies? How sweet!! Oh.. Oh no!

Not ponies, more like rabbits... if you know what I mean. ;)

For those who asked....couldn't find the mass-produced commercial USB cigarette lighter I saw ages ago, but here's a nice link I googled on how to make a home-made one : http://www.iamnotageek.com/a/7-p1.php

And the USB fake-turd : http://www.emanator.demon.co.uk/bigclive/usb@...

[EDIT] Forum censored the turd URL, just replace the @#!* with another word for poop.


And wtf @ you guys and sexual innuendos.

I've also seen USB massagers... no, not dildos, actual chair massage piece thingies.

I had one those USBturdds but it got burguld.

I use my USB ports to power one of the mini light thingies.

I have the light connected to a 5 metre USb cable. As I am awake during the night quite a lot I can use it as a reading light while I wait for my meds to take effect and I can get back to sleep :)

Its good enough to read by and does not wake up 'She who must be obeyed' which is nice :)
