Rechargeable Batteries: USB Cell

Somewhere in your house are a handful of rechargeable batteries and a charger collecting dust instead of putting an end to your Energizer-consuming ways. I know your shame...
Well, now geeks (anyone actually) can enjoy freshly charged NiMH AAs with a minimum of fuss.
USB Cell, from Moixa Energy, charges directly from USB ports, the very kind that are all over the place these days. The upside is that there are no chargers to fiddle with and you can replenish those batteries while you work (or play WoW). Now, for the bad news. It costs nearly $20 for a set of two and charging times are a bit on the slow side.
