It has been quite a while now that I have actually really used a fax machine. All my faxes comes through my PC. There are so many ways of doing this. But here is the latest.

These days we all do our work on our computers. All documents are in the form of soft copy. But when coming to faxing the documents.It’s somehow pretty inconvenient especially for geeks like us who hate papers being scatted around. But we surely have to admit that not everyone in the society has adopted online services such as emails, e-fax, web etc. There is really no choice, in order to suit the other group of people who’re still in the dark side of Information Technology, we’ll have to print the documents in hard copy and fax over using a fax machine.

Here comes the USB digital fax, which is a device that you just hook it up to your computer’s USB port. And whatever documents that you’ve finished typing, and ready to fax, then you can just fax it over using this USB digital fax, without needing to print the document on paper. The USB digital fax comes with bundled software applications to manage your faxes too. It turns your computer into a completely paperless fax machine, which you can receive and send fax through it without any hassle.

As shown in the diagram above, the USB digital fax comes with a phone jack port, which allows you to hook it up to a fixed telephone line. And then you hook the device to your computer’s USB port.

I know my tummy is getting bigger as spending too much time sitting in front of the computer and drinking my favourite Foster beer. But I’ll always give myself excuses such as having no time to go for sit-up exercise to keep my tummy in good shape. Here comes the USB exercise dog, a cute gadget that could be a good reminder to tell me it’s time to tone up my tummy.The USB exercise dog is purely a toy to keep you amused. Once plugged into your computer’s USB port, it’ll keep doing the sit-up exercise. But, too bad is it’s neither a WiFi dongle nor a USB flash drive. Perhaps, the manufacturer shall think of including any of these functions or both in the next version. It’s simply a good reminder for those really need a tummy tone-up workout!

 Are you an executive styled person who needs everything whenever you want it. Such as a mini vacuum cleaner, a usb lamp and even a cup warmer for your hot cocoa. Then this USB product is for you.  

Now, ThinkGeek has joined all these functions into one body - a Mini USB Desktop Multi-tasking Device that can replace all you have on your work desk. Consider this and throw away all other detached pieces. The point is this has only one USB cable running to your computer’s USB port, so it looks much neater and you’ll get almost all you need!

The Mini USB Desktop Multi-tasking Device from ThinkGeek includes 4 functions for you, including a blue backlit cup thing for holding pens, a flexible mini lamp, a mini vacuum cleaner, a cup warmer, and one additional USB 1.1 port.
