As we mentioned before USB Cup Warmer with Hub is a device that doesn’t require any driver installation as it is a plug & play device. Hence we will skip the installation process since it doesn’t have one. First of all, we will test out its warmer/heater feature which is the main objective for purchasing this device. Before that user needs to look for a suitable cup; of course a good conductive cup likes aluminum or steel. We have a hard time to hunt for a suitable cup as the size that can be supported by this device is very limited but we still managed to get one at the end.
The heater will be start working once the USB cable is plugged and the switch is turned on; red LED will be lighted up. Around 2-3 minutes the surface of the USB Cup Warmer with Hub is starting to generate some heat and we have placed the aluminum cup on top of it with a cup of plain water (ambient temperature). The plain water became a bit warm after around 10 minutes and it was maintained at that level. It is a bit disappointing because it is not up to our expectation yet. However we believe that its performance will be better if it is used in non air-cond environment and use a cup with flat bottom base so that the heat will be transferred to the cup more effectively. 
Besides the heater feature, we have included some basic USB performance of this USB Cup Warmer with Hub although the USB hub is an additional feature of this device; green light will be lighted up.

Conclusion
USB Cup Warmer is a creative device which allows user to keep his/her coffee/tea/drink without having hard time to keep on refilling with hot/warm drink. The heater is a bit underpowered where it is just able to keep the water slightly warm; the room for improvement is still there. For those are interest to get this device, we will suggest you get a unit which comes along with the cup since the cup is validated to achieve the expected result and besides that it will save the time to look for a suitable cup.

Unpacking the set the first thing you’ll probably notice is how incredibly long the cable is. In total it measures three metres, and is long enough that you’re more likely to have problems with it being too long than too short. Thankfully, there’s a cable management system provided that allows you to wrap any superfluous cable around an oval shaped accessory that has slits for fastening the cables and a clip for attaching it to your clothing. It’s a pretty essential addition, especially since not using it can result in some annoying entanglements.

Other neat features include a small removable clip that’s useful for attaching the wire to your shoulder and away from your arms, while there’s also inline volume control and a mic on/off switch. At the end of the cable are two 3.5mm stereo jacks for both the headphones and microphone, while the USB adapter features sockets for each. As a result you can use the headset with or without the USB soundcard, which will please those who have splashed on expensive soundcards for their home PCs.

 The USB adapter is, however, a critical factor and one which makes this set ideal for LAN parties and other events where you’re not using your own equipment. This ensures consistency and eliminates the possibility of distortion and interference from lower quality on-board sound devices. Using the USB soundcard is certainly preferable to using on-board audio, providing a high level of clarity. It won’t, however, ever replace high quality dedicated hardware and the default volume of the USB adapter is noticeably lower than a standard soundcard.

The headset itself is binaural, with the cups sitting on your ears rather than around them.  Each of the cups is mounted on hinges so they adjust to your head, while the foam padded headband is suitably cushy. Both cups can also be adjusted vertically to match the size of your head, and the mechanism strikes a nice balance between being secure enough to not move involuntarily while not being too stiff to adjust either.

USBphone looks like a traditional telephone, but it has a USB connector instead of an RJ-11. It may be used with most softphones and services like Skype, Sipnet, Sippoint Mini, Net2Phone, MSN Messenger, NetMeeting, Xlite.

Last December, as we were settling down for a long winter’s nap, we were visited by two robots from the future! They spoke to us and now it is time to share their message. There’s good news and bad news. The good news is there are tons of really cool robots in the future. The bad news is they are divided into two factions, are waging war against each other, and have “downgraded” humans to pretty much servants and food. We quickly smashed the robots with hammers, and swore to devise a way to save humanity.

Before we destroyed the robots, however, we were able to learn two things. 1. Each army of robots uses a different color scanning light (red or blue); 2. We have no idea which side is in humanity’s best interest to win. So we built the Snowbot – a small, winter-themed beacon…and perhaps our only hope. Powered by a simple USB port, the Snowbot has a scanning light just like the robots from the future. You can change the speed of the scan, turn on/off the scanning noise, and (for future protection) change the scan color (red or blue). So no matter which robot army storms your home or office, a quick flick of a switch and you are rooting for the invader’s color. Hopefully then the robots will just make you a servant and not an appetizer. Good luck and happy holidays.

Cubicle warfare just got an upgrade
The arms race is on. The workplace has become a dangerous place, but once upon a time, it was all a laugh. Back in the day, your workmates chased each other with squirt-guns, then disc-guns. Everybody laughed when somebody brought in the harmless Airzooka. Gleefully, somebody brought in a marshmallow blaster.

Then it went kinda nuts. Sonic Grenades, catapults, lightsabers, ninjas… Suddenly, it was less about harmless fun. Suddenly, things got serious. Deadly serious. The day that the guy down the hall brought in the USB Missile Launcher was the day the gauntlet was thrown down.

Today is the day it gets picked up, and slapped across the face of your office enemy. ThinkGeek’s new USB Rocket Launcher has more than twice the range of his missile launcher – yeah, I said twice the range. Now you can be the one your cube-neighbors fear, and fear leads to respect… or does fear lead to anger? I forget.

Anyway, this rocket launcher connects to your Windows 2000, XP, Vista machine or Windows 7 via USB. Install the included software, plug in the Rocket Launcher, and with 360 degree horizontal rotation and 45 degree vertical rotation, the USB Rocket Launcher can fire over six meters, giving you coverage for over 113 square meters of your workspace.

In 2005 AKG launched the very first Perception models – a completely new series of microphones showing legendary AKG sound and quality at an attractive price level. In 2008 the new Perception Series continued this success story with four new models. Since April 2009 the highly anticipated Perception 820 Tube microphone is not only the brand-new flagship model of the Perception Series but also raises the bar in its class of affordable tube microphones.

The Perception 120 USB is the very first USB-equipped microphone from AKG, offering studio-quality sound performance without requiring any installation or drivers. With the widespread USB standard and its ease of use, this new model allows users without any recording experience to make professional-quality recordings from their home. It is a real plug-and-play device enabling customers to do podcasts, voiceovers and studio-quality rehearsal-recordings quickly and easily.

The USB is a widely known interface for audio equipment like sound cards, active monitors and outboard equipment, which makes the Perception 120 USB one of the most versatile microphones available.

In its class, the Perception 120 USB is the only USB microphone with an integrated analogue-to-digital converter with 24-bit and 128x oversampling. Instead of usual one-chip-solutions the high-quality analogue-to-digital converter provides convincing sound quality and low noise.

The Perception 120 USB includes a two-third-inch condenser capsule with a low-mass diaphragm delivering accurate sonic details, an integrated pop filter that avoids plosives, a switchable bass cut filter and an attenuation switch. It supports Windows XP, Windows Vista and MAC OS X but also the new Windows 7.

The Perception 120 USB comes complete with everything you need: a tripod table stand, a swivel mount, a quick start guide and an USB cable.
