USB EVERYTHING!!!

Back in 1996 the USB 1.0 specification was introduced. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a specification for establishing a communication between devices and a host controller (usually personal computers). As is known USB was designed to replace different kinds of serial and parallel ports. USB can connect computer devices such as mice, keyboards, digital cameras, printers, personal media players, flash drives, and external hard drives. For many of those devices, USB has become the standard connection method. But the range of devices that can work with the USB has extended in recent times and in this article we would like to cover some of such unique and in some cases even somewhat eccentric gadgets deploying USB connection.

Rechargeable battery


This is one of the several most useful devices in a series of other numerous thingamajigs invented to support USB connection. As you can see from the picture you just need to open a cap on the battery and stick it into the nearest USB port, if any. While, of course if you have other devices that can be energized from USB connection without any need in batteries then it is also just another redundant widget.


AC Necktie

For the situations when you get hot and wish you had something to cool you down pull down on the knot of the tie, which will reveal a fan that sucks cool air in against your neck and inside your shirt. Yeah, the device is really unique and unusual, yet it certainly cannot replace the necessary fresh air you indeed start feeling that it is too stuffy and hot around you.

George Foreman USB iGrill

One website that criticized different USB devices made such a caustic remark on this gadget: “Did you know that the former boxer and twice Heavyweight Champion of the world George Foreman were into USB devices? Well, neither did we. But for $99.99 you can get your own USB powered grill standing next to your computer. For whom is this product meant to be? The boxing interested chef who also is a computer geek?"
