As I mentioned in my last post, batteries suck, especially the puny rechargeables in my Tungsten T3.  I was digging around for some kind of portable backup so that I could keep using the T3 when I wasn’t near an outlet.  While Googling around, I came across this exercise in bad taste.  It’s a USB powered desktop Christmas tree.

However odd that may be, though, the prize for most inappropriate use of USB power has to belong to the USB powered vibrator.  I know some people get really attached to their laptops, but this is going just a tiny bit too far.
