We can't decide if we should gaze upon its visually interesting design, coo at its cute little orb shape, or be afraid that its tentacles might attack us.

Whichever way we choose to appreciate the look of the Hub designed for La Cie exclusively by Ora Ito, in the end, all that matters is that the USB and FireWire combination hub for both PC and Mac is unequivocally functional.

Four USB ports and 2 FireWire ports connect up to six devices. The Hub also comes with a USB fan, a USB light, a USB extension cable and a FireWire 400 extension cable.

With that much connectivity, maybe we ARE a little afraid.

Very clever way of getting over the idea of hiding all those wires, and it provides easy access to ports, too. (via Uncrate)

I can get with this.
Always try somethng new..

That is the time in which we now live..

When I discovered this, I had to have it. Partly, it's because I'm a bit over unplugging and replugging my peripherals. But mainly 'cause it looks so cool!

Just by its self, it's pretty fantastic like a high tech sculpture! But its intended purpose is to give you 7 USB ports. "Each port is linked to a colorful LED that luminates through the casing when plugged in. The is also great for charging your iPod, camera, cell phone and other devices that charge from a USB port. " Works with Mac or PC.

Hey, I just want to win the MacAir

It seems like today every device from cell phones to digital cameras make use of the USB cabling standard. Therefore, USB clutter is now very common with home/office desks everywhere. Ora-ito has created a solution to this clutter problem with their HUB. It can take up to 7 devices and organizes the cabling with 7 different color coded plugs.

At any given time, I connect my computer to my camera, my iPod, to my Firelite, etc. I could go with an ordinary USB port but this one take the cake.

With seven USB ports, this device makes USB extensions pretty.
