Chatman the talking USB emoticon (distantly related to Pac-Man) is a cute little guy that likes to throw in his two cents about conversations you might be having on any one of the major IM platforms. His eyes, ears, arms and mouth also animate while he speaks.
If you are a dentist looking for an inexpensive way to digitize and archive x-rays, this little USB-powered device might be just what you need. If you are a patient however, expect more bitching about flossing regularly, because this thing can magnify your flaws up to 50x their normal size.

These cable caps offer stretchable bands and bizarre sexual innuendo that will allow you to keep your USB cables under control. Choose from one of 6 bizarre but gratified looking faces to house the cable head, like the “I’ve had better” camera, the bucked-tooth printer, or the “Ooooooh that’s cold” egg. Additional designs are pictured after the break.
The USB Cannon Speaker would be a fun desk accessory, but its ability to be a USB powered speaker is an added bonus. And while you might think that there would be some booming sound coming out of a cannon, its 2.5W output is not exactly going to cause the neighbors to start complaining about the raucous music playing.

Everybody drew lots for Secret Santa and you just happened to get the most annoying person in the office. In this situation, the best course of action is to give a gift that is not really a gift at all.
