If it came with an electric shaver it would be useful

That's what USB is for... http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/18/usb-shaver-keeps-facial-hair-under-control/.

useful for both e and snail mail! and i can use the alarm to wake me up when the mail gets here! of course i could just do things the old fashioned way, but what fun would that be?
Daniel D @ Jun 23rd 2007 6:47AM
The fact that this takes batteries is a big turn off for me, why couldn't it plug into a USB port and be powered that way, shame.
Vinay @ Jun 23rd 2007 7:42AM
The batteries are prolly only for keeping the time on the clock, when the usb power goes off.
Daniel D @ Jun 23rd 2007 7:44AM
I certainly hope so Vinay....I certainly hope so...

Nah, I've got a USB-powered "USB-Powered Gadget" maker.

How long until a sleepy user slides their fingers into the letter opener as they fumble for the snooze button?
monkfishbandana @ Jun 23rd 2007 11:44AM
Oh dear. Would wake them up though.

Pay attention, you geek like me (yes I am) that want to buy something by usbgeek.com: I ordered some nice stuff in late june and I still not received anything - now we are in august. The problem is that they ship products without a trackable shipping method, so MAYBE they really sent to me the package, but they don't know where it is. I wrote a lot of emails, receiving answer only to a few of them, so I also am afraid that they don't really want to help me to resolve the problem.
USBGEEK.COM, are you listening via GOOGLE ALERT? I payed you for the produts with my credit card. I have to ask you bak money or you are going to send me your stuff again?
