Artillery USB Hub – Flash Drive as Your Ammo

Ken Xu — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:53:42 +0000

Artillery USB Hub, funny twist on a hub with the flash drive pretended to be the ammo for the artillery cannon. This fun usb hub provided up to 3-port for your USB gadget, one at the cannon mouth, the other two at the side wheels. Looks cool for geeks who love to collect army-related weapon.

The Artillery USB Hub supporting USB 1.1 (too bad, not 2.0 yet!), but pretty cool because at the time you insert your Ammo (in this case, your flash drives), you will hear a 3-second long artillery sounds effects.

Laptop Cooler With HDD Dock and USB Hub

Ken Xu — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:16:53 +0000

You know, I was kicking myself hardly just now after finding this cool laptop cooler with a cool features attached on it. 3 days ago I just bought a $25 laptop cooling pad with nothing but a stronger and solid base/leg with bigger fan to hold my precious laptop.

And Look at what I’ve found! A Laptop Cooler that comes with 3 port USB hub and HDD dock! I wish I have the patient to search a little longer… But It’s too late already!

Personally, I think this laptop cooler is much more “cooler” than any other laptop cooling pad. Can you imagine how much you should pay to get USB Hub, Laptop HDD Dock and Cooling pad separately? More than 50 bucks I can make sure.

But check out this laptop cooler price! You only need $33 to get one and place under your precious laptop. How nice it is! Well, if you haven’t get yourself a cooler pad, consider this one before any thing. You can find out more information at Brando, the creator of this smart stuff!

My 8 cents idea:
Since now is in Holiday season, especially the Christmas near in the corner of this month, I guess this laptop cooler will be a nice Christmas gifts for your brother or sister. Yes, they won’t need a cooling gadget for this season, but they can keep it for now and use it on Spring or Summer when the temperature get hot.

Thanks to Conner Flynn at SlipperyBrick for the information of this product!

Bring in this Cat Shaped USB Hub to our desktop might to start a ‘war’ with our old buddy mouse. That’s something to imagine if you are flourish with a good childhood hallucination.

The real life says, there is nothing will happen and unlikely you won’t get any ‘Toms and Jerry’ joking around your desktop. It’s only a cool hubs with Cat Shaped which at first I thought it’s a Dinosaur.

Cat Shaped USB hub is a 4-port USB hub and you can access the port through the backbone of the cat, after lifting the tail-like cover. The specification is similar to any other USB hub such as it’s USB2.0 interface and transfer rate at 480Mbps.

There are only 3-port at the backbone and the other one is right in the mouth of the cat. It’s pretty cool and it has a nice warm orange color. The only downside is the short USB cable which pretty inconvenience. Well, if you are interested, you can head to Alibaba, a China Trader site to get this Cat USB hub.
