There is no need to get some cutesy little USB hub for all your co-workers to see. This particular USB hub looks just like a power strip which makes your computer station look more industrial than any peripheral based on Hello Kitty. With the functionality of a USB hub being pretty basic, it is all about design to differentiate them.

This turtle is mutated alright—but instead of a wisecracking ninja it transformed into a 4-port USB hub with an ashtray and a stapless stapler. Additional images are available after the break.
Add a little color and some flowers to your desk while increasing your USB peripheral capacity. The Tulip Hub gives you four connections in a package that looks like a small window box of flowers. Even if you aren’t excited about the idea of flowers on your desk, maybe your co-workers would be less likely to steal these over a traditional hub.

If there ever was a household gadget I worried about coming alive to enslave it’s human oppressors, this creepy robot LED torch/nightlight would be it.

Wow, 2008 has been one hell of a year. It was the year we elected our first African American President. The year Michael Phelps won 8 Olympic golds. The year the economy faced near collapse. And, of course, it was the year we discovered a poop frisbee and a Sith Lord Toaster. But, as you will see from the list after the break, that’s not all the crazy crap we found.

There are countless novelty USB hubs out there, but few are as soothing and peaceful as this aquarium version. It features four USB 2.0 ports and a handy slot for your cellphone or pens—but, oddly enough, there are no faux fish.

If you were trying to dress up a 4 port USB hub, what would come to mind? A 4 legged animal maybe? That is obviously the inspiration for the USB Hubbie. The cute little animal, which I guess is a mouse, is all fun and games until someone turns out the lights. Those cute little glowing eyes that signal there is power attached may look a bit more menacing in the dark.

I enjoy the Transformers as much as the next nerd, but a 4.5-inch Autobot logo that lights up when connected to your computer may have a tendency to draw the eye. It could also result in a lack of sleep—unless you are afraid of the dark. In that case it may come in handy as a night light. The hub features a total of 4 USB ports.
