USB Humidifier

Juniper Foo | Dec 06, 2004

There just aren’t enough USB ports on a laptop for the new weird and wacky USB-powered gizmos being dreamed up out there, if you ask us. The latest, from Japanese company thanko, is a plug-and-play humidifier which ranks up there with the USB coffee cup warmer and massager. Based on specs, the humidifier atomizes 35ml of cool mist per hour, utilizing an oscillating mesh formula technology. A failsafe feature turns off the device after 2.5 hours. Mac users have not been forgotten as this'll plug into any port so long as it's USB.

VibraExciter

Juniper Foo | Dec 02, 2004

Talk about your phone sex. The next time you give your pal a friendly buzz on your mobile, it might just be that. All thanks to UK manufacturer VibraFun's tongue-firmly-in-cheek VibraExciter, an add-on that is activated by SMS messages and calls. To maximize enjoyment, VibraFun suggests placing the attached vibrating bullet "on your chose organmic spot" (sic). Though given the less-than-discreet wired connection, a Bluetooth version perhaps the next round?
