Isn’t it the high tech industry so desperately making some bucks out of today’s computer technology? Since the mature of USB technology, we’ve seen quite a number of USB-powered gadgets or accessories hitting the market. We had the USB cup warmer, massagers, tiny vacuum cleaner and now this time, it is a USB heating blanket!
This blanket is USB-powered, which takes power from your PC USB port. When you are rushing some work through the cold winter nights, just connect up this blanket to your PC’s USB port, put it on and it will keep you warm all night long. I wonder it would give you some electric shock if it happened to malfunction. I don’t feel comfortable of putting this on me, do you?

Wow, what will they come up with next? USB device for solo pleasuring sessions?
[...] This is not a cool gadget, it’s just a retro fan, which suits us who live in hot country. The only difference is this desktop fan from your traditional fan is it takes power from your PC’s USB port. It’ really nothing special, somemore this fan is only for those who are computer geeks, as it needs your PC to be on in order to take power via its USB port. If your house or office is really lacking of AC power outlets, then this fan should come in handy. I think the industry has been too crazy of producing everything USB, even a fan they make it take power from PC. For TechChee’s readers, you should already know quite a number of USB-powered gadgets, such as the blanket, the cup warmer etc, now a granny’s fan! This retro fan has a speed controller for three speeds and measures 6″ x 12″. [...]
[...] We’ve seen quite a number of USB gadgets. Maybe you already have some ingenious ideas of making use of these USB gadgets at every corner in your house. Such as the USB blanket, which you could just leave your PC on and have this blanket on you when you’re in bed to keep you warm during the cold winter nights. Or you wanna setup a USB webcam in your kids’ room, which you can then monitor them from the PC in your room. The limitation of the normal 6 feet USB cable would have let you down for doing all this. But now, with the mini USB-2 extender, which allows you to use any USB device up to 150 feet from the computer, all your brilliant ideas can be implemented! [...]
[...] Here is another interesting USB gadget, which is a butt warmer, the USB warmer cushion. As what its name says, it’s simply a gadget to keep your butt warm while sitting on it. I’m not too sure anyone of you who likes to sit on a warm cushion. Well, I personally think this wouldn’t be that comfortable to sit on a warm cushion. Anyway, its funtionality should be similar to the USB blanket that we’ve seen before, which you could use during those cold winter nights to keep your body warm. The USB warmer cushion contains a slim and flexible heating element, which should produce pretty soothing heat, simply for the sake to let you keep yourself warm whenever you feel cold and blue. For those living in the southern hemisphere, which winter is approaching, then you can get this warmer cushion to accompany you through those cold winter nights. Its cover can be taken off and sent to laundry for cleaning. It’s also got a temperature control dial, which you can adjust to the optimal temperature that woudn’t get your butt on fire! [...]
[...] Again, another USB warmer gadget, for those living in the southern hemisphere to consider. Even though you’ve got either the heating blanket or the warmer cushion. What you’re lacking of is a pair of slippers that keeps your feet warm. I think you should have experienced that during those cold winter months, you could simply keep your body warm by putting on more clothes or having any of the above-mentioned gadgets on to keep your body warm. Even so, but your feet will still get cold, leaving you the kind of uneasiness, which you could hardly focus on your work. Just get yourself a pair of USB warmer slippers, which will solve all your problem. Each slipper comes with an on/off switch and a two-step temperature control switch, each of them can be controlled independently. [...]
[...] all the gadgets said above are insufficient to keep you warm. You can get an USB heating blanket that surely keeps your entire body warm during the extremely cold winter [...]
Thats quite a unique way to look at technology. The marriage of both utility and design has surely come a long, long way.
