Ever felt like plugging in nearly 50 USB humping dogs at once? Here is your chance!
This insane 49-port USB hub require its own standard ATX power supply in order to power all of these drives at once.
I don’t know what exactly you could use 49 USB ports for but I’m sure you could think of something. Suggestions?
The laptop hub itself is enough to generate an epic “Yo Dawg” meme which would make Xzibit cry in frustration. But add in transformer functionality and you have some sort of weird meta-paradox which isn’t even worth the effort to meme-ificate.
This robotic transformer hub folds into the shape of a mini-laptop with four additional USB ports. Now all we need is four even smaller laptop hubs to hook into this transformer hub. Now that would be an epic “Sup Dawg.”
“Yo dawg I heard you like mini laptop transformer hubs so we put mini laptop transformer hubs in yo mini laptop transformer hub so you can transfer and transform while you transfer and transform.” Win.
I talk a lot of shit on nerds needing this but I’m guilty as charged. The whole reason I’m posting this ridiculous hub of ports? Because I need one desperately. Sure, it has a selector for use with two computers but I need this for my desktop iMac G5. Why? I have about 5 devices that I use for music production, an SD card reader, an iPhone charger, two external hard drives and my Arduino. Yeah, you could say I’m a port junkie. A 16-in-1 solution won’t come cheap, though. Expect to shell out $105 for this bad boy should you decide you need it.
If you’ve got $12 and a whole ‘lotta patience, you can score one of these colorful LEGO USB hubs from Korea. Four ports of fury and you can build with them! Why do all the good gadgets come from Asia? Americans always get the shaft, save for the iPhone.
Normally, I don’t go crazy for USB hubs but not only does this Ladybird 4-port USB hub look cute, it’s also practical. Each leg of the bug has a USB port, ensuring that you’ll be able to fit all four connections without them bumping into each other. At $12, I’d call it a great small gift for the holidays if it wasn’t up against the steak and pepper burrito the guy sells down the block.
Here you go. Delicious milk chocolate. Go ahead, take a bite.
HA! I got you good! Quit crying about your broken tooth, pussy. Had you not been such a fat slob for chocolate, you would have taken three seconds to confirm that this is the 4 port USB hub you were trying to borrow. Now you’ve gone and bit it, breaking it into several pieces. Fucking wankers.
Look out Grand Central Station, there’s a new transportation hub in town. The World Trade Center’s transportation hub is, after numerous redesigns, scheduled to be completed in 2012. The designer, Santiago Calatrava, must have some fascination with evangelical churches because this glass and steel structure is turning out to look like something Reverend Robert Schuller designed.
Besides that, it’s a nice change of scenery compared to some of the other hubs in New York City. Hopefully, if it is well kept and doesn’t smell too funky, it could also serve as a great tribute to the towers themselves. It’s time to make New York a prettier place.
Mountain Dew’s Action Sports Tour is headed our way and Nike really wants to make peoples’ jaws drop. For their campaign, they hired the ad/design firm Hub Strategy who worked on this armor-plated war truck, turning it into a mobile extreme sport HQ. But, what makes this monstrous truck so extreme? It’s not the skateboard ramp on the back or the rails surrounding it. It’s not even the wakeboard water tower. It’s the ass-load of Mountain Dew this thing’s going to have in its camper when it goes on tour around the country.
Nike 6.0 Ill Mobile is its name and being extreme is its game. How extreme? It’s like riding in a parajet car with no helmet while Tony Hawk sitting passenger side throws money in your face. They built this monstrosity in only three weeks. Now, they plan on taking it around the country, frightening little kids and crushing any who can’t best its vert ramp.
When I was, like, 12 I stumbled across my father’s treasure trove of recorded pornography. This was before the time of the DVD, so everything was on VHS. When I would sneak downstairs in the middle of the night to catch a peek, I had to be super careful because VCRs made a hell of a lot of noise. The Video Tape USB Hub is a nostalgic reminder of those times of pornography sneaking in the retro age.
Luckily for you kids these days, all you have to do to load up on porn is have a few USB memory sticks and your good to go. But who is technology to say we should take away the coming of age video tape find? To make your own you’ll probably need to make a stop at your local electronic parts store for some supplies, but after that, you’re home free to create your very own Video Tape Hub. (more…)
Belkin has announced that their Cable-Free USB Hub will be released in mid-December. The device employs UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) technology to transmit data from USB devices to your computer. Belkin claims the hub can reach speeds of up to 480MBps at a range of up to 30 feet. The Belkin Cable-Free USB Hub will retail for $200, and will be available in mid-December. Accessing your USB devices over a network would seem to be simpler, especially with the short range of this product, but it’s a good solution if your laptop is your only computer. — Mike Payne
