Nov 28 2007USB Hub Has Cup Warmer, Slow Connectivity

The Brando 'USB Cup Warmer with USB Hub and Clock' costs $24 and is jam-packed with features like, well, all those listed in the product's title. It also has a readout for the current temperature of the warming plate. All this and 4 USB 1.1 ports! Wait, 1.1? I was sold up until that point. You have to be careful with Brando. It seems they just take old parts, throw them in a box, shake it real good, and presto, new product! Next thing you know they'll be releasing the 'Brando Webcam with 5.25" Floppy Drive and 14.4 kbps Modem'.
