After the Air-Conditioned Tie, or the “Breast Pillow”, you’d probably think it would be a while before we saw another crazy Japanese invention. Fortunately, or unfortunately, that isn’t the case, as SolidAlliance has just announced a USB StressButton, reminiscent of the sort of button you’d expect to find to launch a missile in some war machine.

Besides sitting there and teasing us to push it, this device also comes with a software that allows you to choose between 3 different “programs” to run when you press it:
-countdown before the explosion of your monitor (see pics 1 and 2)
-quick window change, for example between your favourite geek news website and an excel document
-a mini movie showing how much you love your boss! (see pic 3)
There really is no practical use for this, but if you’re interested, this will probably show up in an import store soon enough. It would make a funny birthday present, but other than that… I’d avoid this device.







something tells me it can be used for many things if the hackers get hold of it.
like say wiring up some kind of network shutdown or firewall response ;)
