Ground-breaking Gadgets? Or Geek Garbage? You Decide

Multitasking sure is popular these days. But has it gone too far? Some companies are trying too hard to combine products, that a honestly, just shouldn't be put together.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but a hamburger USB warmer mouse pad? Really? Has society become so lazy that we can't get up and turn the thermostat up, or grab our Snuggie off the couch? Along with the warmer, many other crazy, pointless inventions have be released recently. Another is the chocolate iPhone case, and I don't mean just a brown case. It looks like an actually Hershey bar! Also, a four port USB hub that looks like an airplane. What happened to the normal rectangular case? Don't get me wrong, I'm not discouraging creativity, but is there really any use for an model airplane that doubles as a USB hub? I don't think so. The one that really made me chuckle, the fine-toothed comb USB drive. Wow! Just wow. Sure, some people need a comb while working on their computer, but it really isn't too much more trouble to just stick it in your pocket. A comb that sticks out of the side of your Macbook is ridiculous. Period. If you have a friend who is looking to buy one of these products, I think it's time to find new friends.
