USB Missile Launcher
Ok. This thing is just too cool for words. I want one or two.
The USB Missile Launcher is the ultimate deterrent against those annoying people who lurk around your desk because they've nothing better to do. The Launcher holds three foam missiles, and Missile Command is located on your desktop (which is a great deal more convenient than having it buried under Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado - but that's Norad for you). You simply use your mouse to control the launcher which rotates and tilts as you zero in on your victim that, despite being deeply childish, is immensely satisfying. The Missile Launcher fires its three foam missiles sequentially as you hit the 'Fire' button, and though collateral damage is minimal, the fun factor is exceedingly high. We just love USB toys.

Technological Racism
I can remember a time when I was a Microsoft hater. I was programming for OS/2 which was far superior to Microsoft’s Windows 3.11. Well, times have changed and OS/2 has gone the way of the dodo. I have drunk of the cool-aid and repented my ways… All hail, Microsoft…….
