[odin]

After years of long research Japanese scientists have finally come up with the ultimate use of USB. No drivers required!:

The coffee mug which keeps your coffee longer hot!

I allways suspected these people were nuts but this one really tops it off.

I don't want a cable connected to my mug! Just buy a coffee machine with a thermos coffee pot and take that pot with you!

Now, if they would just invent another way to keep your coffee hot. What about a new motherboard design where the processor is placed at the top of you case. Then place your cup on the case!!

[Damion]

That's actually pretty cool 'IMO'....I'd buy one.

[Lo]

I dunno how you folks read japanese? links, but
my poor 200W PS has no business powering a coffe mug.

[ikir]

Oh my god!
 :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:

We think that is pretty cool too...:-D

We are also thinking that the power needs to be coming in the other direction (not through the USB obviously).  We saw at CES some very interesting solar power packs that can be used in remote locations to keep your laptop or PDA ready to go.

Anywhere, anytime -- mobility is the key...and now with hot coffee too!  ;-)

Just need to figure out a way to keep the champagne cold now!

Best regards,

Dilbert would be proud!

Anyway, how about a water-cooled system that uses coffee instead of water?  It gets cycled round the CPU, RAM and PSU a few times, and comes out of a tap on the front of the case.  It'd work well with the latest P4, but the A1 and Pegasos would probably run too cool for it to work :-)

Now that's what I call progress!!!!! :-D

this is so stupid, adding heat to a coffie cup
will cause the water in the coffie to disapear
and after some time, the coffie 'aroma' is
destroyed.
Coffie in a normal coffie cup is hot long enough
to enjoy the coffie...you cant expect to
take a cup of coffe, put it on the table, go for
a walk an hour and come back to the same good coffie....

I dont know about most people, but I only
drink 'fresh' coffie :-)

My coffee mug is 24 ounces. It is well insulated, but even still by the time I finish my coffee it is not as hot as it could be.

Besides it's just a cool gadget, novelty or no novelty:-)

[odin]

I just wonder how much this useless piece'o junk (but cool junk :-)) would cost. Can anyone read Japanese here? =)

@catohagen: I agree with you, I only drink fresh coffee too. IIRC reheated coffee ( :nervous: ) forms some kind of chemical in the reheating process which is bad for you :-P.

And I thought USB modems were a waste of a USB port...

[DanDude]

Bwaaaahahahahahahahahaaaa....

Ist, it's a USB adjustable light,

then came the adjustable fan

now it's a coffee mug warmer.

Gee, what will they think of next!!    :-P
