Waiting for the database to return the report you requested? Another hour left on that movie you're downloading? Simply move your mouse off of your mousepad and yank the cord protruding from the side - instantly the mousepad inflates to a nice, comfortable pillow.
Could also be used as an emergency
flotation device, or an oxygen supply via an attachable mouthpiece.
