USB Soldering Iron

This is really cool - not sure how well it works but should be good for small electronic soldering jobs.

I have seen tiny refrigerators, reading lights, Fans, and now soldering Irons ALL running
off of the USB Power. Personally I wouldn't want to tax the load on that port for anything
non PC related. Just a thought! But does sound neat!
BTW a Soldering Iron heats up with a resistance or shall I say a SHORT and this is what
develops the heating.
