Ahh USB cup-warmers. We'll continue both
laughing at and loving them dearly so long as our beloved no-name Asian companies keep cranking 'em out. This
particular USB cup-warmer, however, is even more ridiculous than most since it also doubles as a 4-port USB hub—way to
split that already measly 500-milliamp current up to five ways, guys. Well, whatever, it's not like we actually
expected it to actually keep our giant coffee steins warm anyway.

So many cup-warmers... When is someone going to come out with a USB device to keep our soda cans cold?
Re: #1, I don't think a USB port could supply the power that a peltier needs. Those suckers use quite a few watts for anything that would be pop can cooling.
This would be useful if it were software driven and I could put it on a schedule to turn on and off. ON M-F 8am to 11am. OFF all other times.
