The USB wall outlet is interesting

Edit: On further review I could spend a lot of money on this site...

Oooo your own 3D printer! These things are actually coming down in price now!

"the latest in cutting edge personal manufacturing technology"

Sounds like something out of Supervillains Quarterly

I see two things on the main page that look like winners:

Arcade Light Switch & USB Rocket Launcher.

 

[rcpratt]

Haha, blocked at work. Will check it out later.

It's just listing products from other sites. Makes it convenient to browse but not actually a storefront.

No fleshlight??

No fleshlight??

Match.com sells better versions of the fleshlight.

Arcade Light Switch & USB Rocket Launcher.

The rocket launchers generally have a pretty decent range. The one I had easily cleared the 20ft between a couple of cubes to rain death and destruction upon an unsuspecting co-worker (It did take some pre-sighting volleys the evening before to ensure a first strike hit though)

No fleshlight??

lol

 

[waggy]

hmm i like the USB wall socket. though i could spend a bunch of money on it. have to check thinkgeek though too. they have the usb wallsocket and for cheaper.

 

[Nebbers]

There's some seriously cool stuff on there. Thanks for the link!

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

No fleshlight??

no, that would be whackerthings.com

Need to couple the USB launcher with a camera and facial recognition software. Automatic target acquisition, rangefinding, and fire control.

 

[William Gaatjes]

Sigh... This is still on my wish list...

For those considering the USB launcher, it doesn't have much power behind it. It works of a piston that compresses air. I would say the range is about 5ft from what I seen from the ones the guys at the office has. The control software for the computer is good.

 

[guyver01]

this is actually a smart idea. i wonder when it will become mainstream.

I love sites like these, in fact I have an entire bookmark folder full of them. Some of these things are brilliant (like that usb wall outlet guyver posted) and some are just fun products. This would cause serious havoc, especially if you plugged it into a usb port in the rear of a computer:

Pranking device to drive computer users insane. Makes random mouse movements and types gibberish with a variable time-delay. Works on any computer with a USB port.
