I wish I had one of these puppies when I was a kid!  It would have made my science classes a lot easier!  Now that I think about this digital handheld USB microscope would be a superb tool for anyone who is into the criminal justice field and needs to get an ultra sharp and ultra close up look at potential evidence!

Do you take a lot of notes?  Have a lot of meetings? And maybe you are tired of shuffling paper in your office and can’t seem to keep track of all your paper written notes and to do lists.

The mobile digital scribe gadget solves that problem.  Basically it acts like an electronic notepad.  All you have to do is place this mobile device on top of your paper notepad and then start writing and taking notes as you normally would with the special included pen.  The device records all your hand writing and notes digitally.  Later on you can upload all your notes and scribbles to your computer simply by connecting the mobile scribe to the USB port of your computer.

Once again we run into another simple gadget that gets the job done.  No frills, no flashing lights or extra buttons, just straight to the point and gets the job done.  In this case the job is to keep your coffee warm whether you are at your desktop computer, laptop computer or in your car.

If you are like me then you love a nice cup of fresh hot coffee. But cold coffee? Not! I think I would rather drink prune juice than a cup of cold coffee. But this USB mug solves that problem.  The mug itself is double insulated stainless steel with a spill proof lid and a soft rubberized finish in either red or blue.  The mug can hold 16 ounces of your favorite beverage. COFFEE!

Is your co worker in the cubicle next to you getting on your nerves?  Are your office meetings becoming a bit too ‘stale’ and in need of something ‘different’ to get creative ideas flowing again?

Well have no fear because now you can connect this chainsaw to the USB port on your laptop and start sawing away..or er um hacking away? But seriously why in the world does the world need such a gadget like this? I suppose if you are like that AT&T laptop guy who has his laptop connect card and he is in the middle of the Colorado Rockies he could use this USB chainsaw to cut some trees down to make firewood?

Humpf! I had to put this one in the funny gadgets category because well it is just too funny they even went through the trouble of designing something like this!
