For those that pull long stints behind the computer screen tepid drinks are commonplace. This new USB cold plate from CoolIT Systems can keep your favorite drink chilled.
While I often ramble on about silly or mindless toys to plug into your computer today I have found something that may actually be practical for many people. How many times have you sat down to work at your computer with a luke warm beverage? If you are like me and sometimes have to spend hours staring at my LCD monitor, it can happen quite often and there is nothing worse than having to drink a tepid glass of brew. Thanks to CoolIT Systems, you can now avoid that problem with their USB Beverage Chiller. Sure, beverage warmers have been around for a long time (it's pretty easy to use electricity to make something hot), but this is one of the first I have seen that goes the other direction to make your glass stay cool. Not ice cold mind you, but 45 degrees is still a lot better than room temperature.
