My first reaction – when I saw today on Thanko’s web site that the notoriously silly gadget maker from Tokyo is selling USB-powered gloves with built-in heaters<\/a> [JP] – was: Who actually buys<\/em> this kind<\/a> of stuff? I mean Thanko is a real<\/em> company, they have brick-and-mortar stores<\/a> in Tokyo (two of them), they have employees etc. But they have been surviving for years now, even though they closed their English online store last month.\"thanko_glove_2\"<\/p>\n

You can connect the gloves (black is for men, white is for women) to your computer’s USB port and expect them to keep your fingers warm while you type. Again: Who in god’s name would do that? And it’s not even Thanko’s only USB gloves, they have models that are shaped like teddy bears<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

People living outside Japan can order the new USB gloves for $27.75 per pair plus shipping over at Geek Stuff 4 U<\/a>.<\/p>\n
