Your laptop needs some useless pets?

Posted by mobileojisan
One more of those silly USB-powered gears... er, it's a bit overdoing it to call this tiny object a gadget. A silly piece of toy, it should be called.

A toy developer/manufacturer of Off-Akiba, Cube Co. Ltd has released two USB toys of PC Gadget series that do not enhance nor hamper the performance of your beloved laptop, even the slightest. Cube Co. firmly guarantees it, along with the total compatibility of any, I repeat, any OS and hardware.


USB doggies in heat from Cube Co. They erroneously attack your laptop, not your leg.

USB Humping Dog crouches over the USB plug. Once inserted into your laptop, this male canine suddenly turns his libido switch on. He starts humping his lower body as if he were engaging himself in that all-important reproductive procedure. Well, it's rather comical and, at the same time, very sad to watch this toy doggie mistake the laptop as his bitch friend. You can see how he pumps a laptop futilely, here.

Poor doggie keeps humping forever until his USB plug is pulled out. So everybody would ask: "What is this Humping Dog for? What is the use of it?" It boggles me, too.

All right, the next one. USB chameleon. This reptile perches on the laptop display and turns his protruded eyes 360 degrees. From now and then, he stretches his trademark tongue, just a little bit. The real chameleon unfurls his tongue more than 20cm to catch insects, but this USB version is very stingy. Or, probably, very defective.

Also, the USB chameleon does not change his body color at all. Outrageous! Anyway, you can watch this chameleon in action here. Maybe he can protect the display surface against the fly stain.


USB chameleons with defective tongues and pigments, in three hues. Can work as a scare-fly?

The libido dog costs 998 yen (US$8.50), and the lazy chameleon, 2,940 yen (US$25).
