When I say "Desktop Gadget" I mean an actual gadget that sits on your physical desktop. Engadget has word today that at long last, you can keep a cool, frosty beverage on-hand at your desk whenever you want with a very cool little gadget from a company called Brando. The mini-fridge is powered entirely by a USB connection to your PC and can hold one 12oz can of your favorite beverage, so it's cold and ready to go when you most need it. No more walking the 10' to the fridge in the kitchen, this baby eliminates the need for such lower-function activities such as walking.
This technological marvel will only set you back $33, and is actually a great gift for any computer-bound geek in your life. At the very least it will get a laugh.
