Well you'd need USB powered spot lights first, but you get the idea. Isaiah:

With some slick marketing, which undoubtly Sharper Image has, they could market an entire line of items with USB charging ports. It is a great idea, but how much you can expand this to everything else is a different question/ballpark I think. I don't have that many items that require USB ports to charge, but I guess it would be nice to charge via USB port on my lamp than to take up another two powerslots with my various powerbricks behind the desk...

There should be tonnes of these on the market as Scott and others are too busy buying up the USB pole stripping dancer. The planets have finally aligned in my favor... whooo haaa haaa haaa!
