USB Card Shaver Disguises Your USB Shaving Shame

Elaine Chow — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:45:00 EST

This USB Card Shaver is the thinnest of its ilk that we've seen and, with a diameter of only 10mm, is perfect for the man-on-the-go trying to hide that he uses an USB shaver in the first place.

The product page explains that its great for business, traveling and as a holiday present for your loved ones. One charge will last you 12 hours of shaving. If you didn't bring your computer, just use the included USB to AC Adapter. Yours for roughly $32. [Rakuten]

USB Mini Vacuum Looks and Works Just Like the Big Boys

We've shown you tiny USB vacuums before, but none were as realistic as this mini-hoover, the $20 USB Mini Vacuum Cleaner. The 8-inch-tall minivac gets its power from a 45-inch USB cable, so you might even be able to pick up a few floor boogers and dust bunnies with it, too. [Whatever Works, via GeekAlerts]

USB Shredder, Convenience for the Secretive

Charlie White — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 13:30:00 EDT

This USB shredder proves there's a myriad of ways to cover your tracks. Heck, we even saw a shredder powered by a hamster. But this one? It's different.

This is not even the first USB shredder we've seen, one even has a mini-bin underneath to catch all of those torn-up pieces of paper. But this one's even more portable; at just under 10 inches wide, it's similar in shape to some of the highly portable printers we've seen, but too bad it's still not wide enough to handle standard sheets of paper.

Are you paranoid enough to carry around a shredder with you everywhere you go? Shredders, printers, all that paper-handling paraphernalia—if you're that paranoid, maintain a shred of dignity by going paperless, not ever typing or writing anything, don't even think about using a computer, and do all your talking down in the basement. – Charlie White
