You Can't Coach That

Thursday, June 28, 2007

USB - Universal Serial Bus. What a useful piece of technology. Who hasn’t got something connected to their computer through the USB port?

Or should it stand for Useless Silly Bits of technology (sorry, couldn’t come up with anything better).

Here are some examples of USB goodies.

Doomsday Device 4 Port Hub - [Think Geek]

A 4-port USB hub with an explosive secret. A red button which can unleash mass destruction on a purely imaginative scale is unlocked only if you know the secret of the three-stage failsafe.

Office warfare - bring it on!

USB Engine Hub - [Engadget]

It even makes engine noises

USB Barbie - [Gizmodo]





At last an excuse for me to carry around a Barbie doll.

If I had one of these I don’t think I would ever leave the TV room.

From Crave

Apparently, attraction to the opposite sex isn’t nearly as important as it used to be. That’s the only explanation we can fathom for the continuing trend of new Star Trek items on the market.

The latest date repellant is a $70 “Phaser Universal Remote Control,” which claims to feature sound effects from the original series provided by Paramount. Alas, Red Ferret notes that it’s already sold out. (What a surprise.)

“Date repellant” - what are they talking about? There must be thousands of female Trekkies out there who would be impressed by such a fine piece of engineering.
