Just when you thought you had seen everything that you could shove into a USB port, now comes a new contender for the "I did not see it coming" crown. The USB Desktop Greenhouse plugs into your USB port and supposedly provides ideal conditions for your minature plant kingdom to thrive. From the product website:
"Brighten up your dull desk with this USB plug in contraption. This product provides the maximum conditions for your plant to grow, to adorn your desk with natural beauty in no time! It contains marigold seeds for you to plant, but plant whatever you want – the seeds of your favorite flower? It also comes with fake soil, an adjustable light and removable tray, and you can monitor its progress on your PC. You can't fail to grow a beautiful healthy plant as it even tells you when it needs watering! The ultimate desktop pick-you-up, and an enjoyable, relaxing distraction from all your hard work!"
The USB Greenhouse will set you back about $59, and you can find more info here. I wonder, what if you leave the host computer off while on vacation?
Aloha from the Beach,
