Here’s another useless way to spend $22 - buy a USB powered pole dancer. The pole dancer performs as you type and it includes software that features a daily word count, your top five typing performances and a WPM testing function. Although it would be a rather lame excuse to pretend this USB powered toy can increase your efficiency, we say why not give it a shot ? It will certainly stylize your office and draw more curious eyes towards it.
Well, if you were looking for a way to spend $22 on some totally useless device here’s our suggestion : the USB powered thermometer.
It’s good if you’re keen on knowing the exact temperature at any given time of the day, other than that I don’t see what weather obsessed person would use it.
Here are a few of the tech specs :
Temperature Range - Inner: -40° ~ 120°
Temperature Range - Outer: -50° ~ 150°
Temperature can be captured from every second to 12 hours
Worth giving a shot ? That’s up to you.
Well we’ve seen many useless USB powered gizmos in the past, but this one beats them all. This ‘different’ IM notifier is nothing more than a self punishing doll that hits its head with a hammer whenever your friends IM you.
Think of it this way, if this device is addressed to IM obsessed people why would they need a gizmo to announce their newly received message? Do the producers think such a person would ever leave his / her computer signed-in and move away from it ? We think not. It’s completely useless even for IM freaks but it could make up as a good gift though, in its utterly useless purpose it still makes for a good laugh when you hear the funny head banging noise.
Well, at least now we know why they call them “essential” - these TravelDrives come packed only with the bare necessities, meaning : 2.5″ HDD that can come in 160GB, 250GB or 320GB size, a USB 2.0 port and a standard flashing LED. The TravelDrive comes in several colors like : Spring Blossom, Tropic Green, Caribbean Blue or Cool Silver and is priced at around $89.99 - which sounds like a pretty good deal considering the specs.

Two days ago Asus announced the release of a new wireless N USB adapter blatantly naming it USB-N11. While this 8.4 cm long gadget may seem powerless we can assure you it’s not. With the simple push of a button on the adapter and the router you’ve got your secured wireless connection - easy, fast and no fuss. While supporting most of the major Operating Sysmtes ( Windows, Linux and MAC ) this device is also 802.11n compliant allowing its users to have easy interoperability with all draft-N devices. Setting up a fully working wireless network has never been so easy, and to make things even more simpler the ASUS USB-N11 comes with a WPS button allowing users to have a secure connection set-up in no time.
