• A USB Hub that’s shaped like a toaster

    • USB Hub
    Keeping up with the lighthearted feeling floating in the air on this beautiful day in the month of June let’s look and grin at this silly little concept of a USB Hub. It’s shaped like a darn toaster from yesteryear, with spaces for 3.5 and 2.5 inch disks to fill the space. Firstly, I wonder which of you still have a floppy lying around and secondly, they even pop up like real bread. Now Domino’s could go with one of these on their counter or maybe even Subway. But for a geek to have this mighty toaster-like contraption, stuffed with his grandfather’s floppy drives, I think it’s not that cool.


    Ideas keep flooding our way as the idle mind creates one genius design after another. When all of these converge, we have a rather twisted tale to tell and the USB, multi-toaster hub seems to be one of the most perfect examples of such a phenomenon.
