USB Plasma Heart Posted: 08 Feb 2009 07:38 PM PST Want to spruce up your desktop this Valentine’s Day? Brando has a solution in the form of the USB Plasma Heart. This USB peripheral lights up and works best when most people have already left the building with majority of the lights turned off, as it boasts fascinating flashes that go back and forth between the center and edge of the ball. Each time you touch the glass heart, blue flashes of lightning will appear although they won’t electrocute you, so it is extremely safe. It comes with an on/off switch and can be picked up from Brando for $17 each.
