If Steve Jobs bedded down with Doc Ock, this is probably what their offspring would look like. While most of us try to hide unsightly cable clutter, this chic USB/FireWire hub from LaCie turns what's ordinarily a mess into a modern-looking masterpiece. The Huby adds four USB and two FireWire ports to your Mac or PC, letting you connect up to six devices simultaneously. One of the "tentacles" includes a USB light, which, when twisted back toward the Huby, adds a dose of drama. Meanwhile, the USB fan will keep you cool in those summer months. LaCie's glossy white, Apple-inspired Huby will feel right at home alongside any one of your iGadgets, and it's the perfect playpal for your PowerSquid. — Drew Thompson
