After a lifetime of hard experience, we feel comfortably resigned to the inevitable: action and reaction, what goes up must come down, and so on. However, Japan’s Green House Co. insists that what can’t be controlled through divine intervention can be tamed by power cords and computer ports. With the flick of a switch, their new USB Cup Warmer & Cooler allows you to keep enjoying the same hot (or cold) beverage for hours on end by maintaining it at a constant temperature. Of course, whether or not this increases the risk of you spilling your drink while fiddling with your computer is another question entirely. Just remember the inevitable.USB Cup Warmer & Cooler, ¥2,780. Available from Amazon Japan and via www.green-house.co.jp
