If you are really concerned how your office or cubicle smells and want something small and compact to make it smell better, a USB thumb oil burner will do the trick. You plug this flash drive sized oil burner into your USB port and put your fragrance oil into the little oil compartment.

Once loaded up with oil you plug it in and wait for the foul stench of your office to be replaced the smell of roses. The oil burner weighs 5g and measures in at 66 x 22 x 7mm. You can get two colors, rose red and peppermint green. Pricing for the device is $7.00. I’m not sure I’d want hot oil that close to my PC personally. Plug this thing into your laptop and forget about it once and you are in for some serious problems if that oil gets inside your computer.

Old school gamers love the nostalgic feeling from playing games of the 80s and 90s, even in emulated mode with the state-of-the art gaming mouse and keyboard on a duo-core computer. Obviously, a few of us would go as far as bidding for an original Atari console, but at least we can now get a controller that the mimics the feel of the classic joystick.

Compatible with virtually any emulators whether they be Mame, Daphne, or Stella, the aptly-named Legacy USB joystick looks exactly like an Atari controller from the 80s (or is it 70s?), but ressurected in the 21st century, it interfaces with a PC/Mac/Linux with USB. The Legacy however comes merely with a single button. Luckily, the circuit board provides an 10 internal contact points for wiring up to the same amount of additional fire buttons. If a $400 Wii is out of your budget for this year Christmas holiday, then maybe get yourself a $14.99 Legacy USB joystick along with free ROMs floating on the Internet.
