I Want This!
I once read somewhere that commerce and business has its own life cycle. Mankind started with trade of raw material, then goods, then products, and followed it up with services.
The current stage is that of selling "experiences". So, a hotel business cannot be content with offering a massage service ... the massage has to be exotic, has to be an out of the world experience. Peoples bellies and disposing incomes are always swelling up, and they are willing to pay!
Here's a cool gadget that, I feel, just enhances the whole drinking-coffee-in-your-stinking-cubicle experience (see below).
A USB-powered Coffee Mug Warmer!
Coffee drinkers don't want to drink coffee one sip at a time ... but I just don't get to do that when our coffee-vendor boy, whose name is Mubarak, comes in with his cups of coffees. Before you know it, the coffee loses its charm (read as "heat"). But this amazingly thoughtful "innovation" may just change the way coffee is consumed at offices or desktops!
Alas! I am yet to find this in India :( Anyone coming soon from vilayat?

Blind people don't bungee jump. It scares the dog too much.
