It’s received wisdom that electronic devices and water do not mix. If you’ve ever got any of that stuff on your laptop or dropped your iPhone in a latte – you’ll know what I mean.

However Brando are always striding forward where other gadget-makers are afraid to go – see the usb handwarmer shaped like a hamburger – and have produced a USB-powered Aquarium. The 239 x 99 x 210mm device uses the power from your USB port to circulate the water in the tank and to power both an alarm clock and a err… room thermometer. Both indispensable in the modern office as I’m sure you’ll agree. And if you want to take things even further how about investing in an aquarium test kit.

They say:
“The USB Aquarium with Alarm Clock and Thermometer is not only an alarm clock, but also a real fish tank. Just add water into the tank and put your fish into the tank. Then, connect it to an USB power port […] It’s another little fancy stuff on your desk.”

We say:
OH MY GOD. IS THERE NOTHING THESE GUYS WILL NOT ATTACH TO A USB PORT?
