I’m sure you all still remember the floppy disk right…that old storage device from the 80’s that always had slightly less available storage space then you needed.  Well despite most estimates of it having been permanently retired, the floppy disk has recently made a triumphant return after receiving a slight upgrade.  Thomas O’Connor of Detroit took the infamous piece of square plastic and recycled it into a USB Drive so you could store more than the traditional 1.44mb.  Nice!!

Like most other people who have become slaves of the workplace, I spend an inordinate amount of time checking my email. Partly because I take pride in responding to work related emails in a timely fashion, but also because it’s the ultimate distraction from an otherwise dull environment. I mean who knows that types of delightful surprises might be waiting in your inbox? Perhaps a message from an old friend, a new facebook notification, or maybe the lottery chose you as their first random online winner!

Point being, sometimes you need to know right away when you get a new email. So why not use this strangely large, envelope shaped blue box, that lights up when you have a new message. It works in the background via USB and supports Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Outlook Express, and POP3.

God knows I love desperately need a cup of coffee when I arrive at work each morning. I also enjoy starting each day by quickly taking care of urgent tasks and projects, which is why my coffee usually goes cold before I manage to finish it. But thanks to the USB Coffee Warmer I think I might start saving a few trips to the kitchen each day. It won’t bring your cup to a boil, but it will keep it at a comfy 104° F.

By now most of us have accumulated entirely way too many USB devices.  Between the printers, iPhones, cameras, spy pens, mp3 players, and the hundreds of flash drives we have collected, there are simply not enough USB hubs on our PC’s to accommodate our gadget needs.

Luckily the 16 Port USB Hub from Brando has arrived.  It allows you to connect 16 USB devices, and can be connected to two computers, so that you can switch the USB devices between the two!
