Universal Smelly Bus

USB ports are widely used to connect various peripherals (mouse, keyboard, printer etc) and transferring data to/from various mobile and storage devices. Now you can even find portable versions of your favorite programs, put them on a USB flash drive and wherever you go you have your favorite applications. Now there's a new device that uses the good old USB port, the freshest one yet. No, it's not a new iPod, it's an oil burner. Yes, that's right! Now you don't just take your apps with you, but you also take a fresh smell.

Now if you take your laptop into a public place like a motel and you feel like the air there is too "public" for you, or maybe if you want to refresh the air in your room you have got the solution…the perfect, "computerized", solution. The device costs around $7, is 66mm x 22mm x 7mm large and it weighs 4g. You just need to drop the fragrance oil in the cross-shaped hole and the USB powered device will quickly diffuse fragrance oil around your computer. Around four drops of fragrance oil will keep the air around your computer fresh for a whole day. The USB Fragrance Oil Drive comes in two colors/fragrances: red for a rose fragrance and green for a peppermint one.

I don't think the inventors of the USB port ever thought it could be used in so many (un)useful ways. Now we see USB lighters, scented flash drive (in various sizes and flavors), USB fans and now the USB oil burner. Now there's just one more question on my mind. More heat next to your computer and maybe even some light smoke? You are pouring oil into a thing that is connected to your computer!

The only "concern" I have is: what's next? Eatable SATA cables? Or maybe a heated/cooled mouse and a keyboard that will also massage your hands. We are seeing extreme performance in gadgets nowadays and extremely weird uses.
