Yes thats right, the title is correct. Surely, come winter, you head down stairs to your computer or laptop when its nice and frosty outside. You don't want to have to lug your bed covers with you and you don't want to have to sit in front of a roaring fire with laptop in hand do you?
So what better way is there than to have with you a USB heated blanket? They come in 3 colours, pink, grey and navy blue.
With the blanket you get 2 USB cables. You can use one if its not sub-zero outside or both if the temperature decides to take a nosedive for that added heat and comfort.

Brando come up with some odd gadgets and this next one joins that category.
The USB Port Cleaner has been designed to clean your USB ports on your laptop, PC, Mac and any other gadget with a regular sized port. The reasons for creating this are for the "need to clean them up occasionally in order for them to continuously conduct electricity efficiently and keep data flowing at the satisfactory speeds."
The small USB sized gadget simply slots in a USB port and cleans the copper pins that are found in there.
The copper used for electrical contacts in the USB ports of your computer is subject to oxidization. Especially for those who always use their laptops at places near the sea, the problem will occur faster. But of course, no matter where your laptop is used, the problem will still occur. Over time, it'll cause a film developed over the copper that provides insulating barrier, preventing good electrical contact between the USB port and the connector of the USB device.
The Apple iPad takes has quite a hungry power requirement with a number of PC's not even supporting charging of the iPad. The QuickerTek has been designed to let you easily monitor how much power your iPad is getting from the USB port it is plugged in to.
The QuickerTek iPad Charge Monitor plugs in to a USB port on your computer and in the other side, you connect up your iPad USB connector in series and four LED's indicate how much power is being provided to the iPad. By switching the device between ports you can hopefully troubleshoot and find a port that works.
Did you notice that when you tryed plugging your iPad into the port of your Mac that the iPad said "Not Charging"
Well we have designed the iPad Charge Monitor USB device that has three functions: The unit will turn on the USB port so that it will charge and the 4 LED's on the unit shows that the iPad is charging and shows the charging current level or how fast it is charging. The more lights are on the more power being put out by the usb and thusly the faster your iPad is charging.
Compact in size no bigger than a USB dongle with a USB connector at each end. And is compatible with 1.0 or 2.0 USB ports, all iPad, iPhone (all generations) iTouch and all 30 pin ipods.
