USB Hub Looks Like Medical Device of the Future

Can you imagine the poking and prodding this thing could do? If one imagines it larger than it really it, it’s actually quite frightening. But as a combination USB/Firewire hub, it’s pretty remarkable in a very dense field. Made by Ora-Ito, "The Hub" includes dual USB extension cables, a standard USB cable, a miniUSB cable, a USB fan and a USB light. I’m sure there’s artificial intelligence in there that wakes up the moment you place it on your desk, that performs alien medical experiments, but if you’re willing to take a chance it’s reasonably priced at $90.
