Humping or crunching USB dogs are out. The newest fad (at least in Japan) is owning puppy-shaped and USB-powered speakers [JP] for your computer. They are brought to you by Japan Trust Technology (what a name), a Tokyo-based Thanko competitor that has just released a USB-powered mini Zen garden.

Buyers get two dogs, a Spaniel and a Dalmatian with 2W of power. Plug a USB cable in their butts and they are ready to go. Buyers can adjust the volume through a mini guitar-shaped controller (pictured above).

The set price for the speakers in Japan is $40. Ask the Japan Trend Shop, Gizmine, Geek Stuff 4 U or Rinkya if you live outside Nippon and really want to own more tasteless USB gadgets.
