I'm bothered that none of the heating/cooling items specify the current 
(or power) draw that hits your USB. What happens if you try to use the 
cup heater, the fridge and the gloves all at the same time? Do you 
merely lose the files on your USB-connected disk, or does the whole 
computer catch on fire?

I'd think that the safest way to run stuff like this is to plug it into 
regular electric power. Or are they onto a successful violation of the 
laws of thermodynamics, and the USB-powered room air conditioner is next?
