<![CDATA[It started with toothbrushes, but apparently the hot thing in devices that never seemed to need battery power in the past is to toss in a battery and make them <a href="http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2004/05/17/creating_a_buzzzz?pg=full">oscillate, rotate, spin, pulsate or vibrate</a>. Apparently such battery-powered actions are showing up in toothbrushes, razors, dish brushes, pot scrubbers and stain removing devices.
