Simple enough idea.
A coffee cup with an LCD screen and a wifi chip (with a battery and a usb connector) that grabs stock value and displays them as a ticker.
You can use the usb connector to charge the battery and setup parameters for wifi and stocks to follow/RSS feeds etc.
Additionally, a thermopile
at the base of the cup can convert the heat from the coffee into energy for those really really long meetings.
since a thermopile is 'reversible' a supply of current (when plugged in to the computer) can warm your coffee.

Yes, I like this. They have the ticker going above
some counters at coffee spots, but I think this is way
better. |

Would this cost a whole lot to make? If so, no. If not,
yay! |

then?// A machine for producing ticker tape. You know, for
use in ticker tape parades. |

So its not a generic type of replacement heart, then? |
