Brando announced a $17 USB port cleaner gadget. At first glance it’s a great idea and well needed in many situations. How many times has your flash drive been stuffed into your pocket, dropped on the ground or left in the glove box? In each of those situations it’s very likely junk or debris could have made it into the USB contacts.
The USB cleaner appears to be an alcohol based solution on the pad where by it cleans the metal contacts of the USB port. Honestly, if you feel the need you can grab a alcohol swab and a pop-sickle stick and accomplish the same thing. Although it wouldn’t be nearly as cool.
Here is a Master Card commercial in the making – a USB gadget designed to randomly turn on or toggle a computer’s Cap Locks.
USB connector = $1.30
Some logic = $4.00
A bit of code = $0.00
Watching your work buddy get frustrated because of random Cap Locks = Priceless.
This DIY gadget will intermittently set the caps lock anywhere between 30 seconds and 8 minutes on the host system. What’s creative about this hell gadget is no software code is loaded to the system, thus spyware wouldn’t catch the culprit. Although it is hardware based – so probably not a good gadget trick for a laptop user or a savvy computer geek, but connecting it to the backside port of the idiots PC next to you at work – Priceless.

If these become readily available it would be a great item to have. It seems like down-sizing your basket full of gadgets is a continual process. So here we streamline to a single UFD, forget another reader and the power cord to your cell phone.
That’s progress.
